REMOTE CONTROL Command Syntax The commands that are used with the GPP series meet IEEE488.2 and SCPI standards. SCPI Commands Overview SCPI Command Format SCPI is an ASCII based command language designed for test and measurement instruments. SCPI commands uses a hierarchical structure (tree system), and is divided into different subsystems.
Page 110
GPP Series User Manual Symbol Description SCPI commands have the following conventional symbols. These symbols are not commands but are used to describe the command parameters. 1. Curly Brackets { } Curly Bracket enclose command string parameters, for example: {OFF|ON} 2.
Page 111
REMOTE CONTROL Parameter Types The commands have a number of different parameter categories. How the parameters are set depend on the parameter categories. 1. Boolean Commands parameter that have to states “OFF” and “ON”, for example, DISPlay:FOCUs {ON|OFF}. “ON” will turn on the focus display function, while “OFF”...
Page 112
GPP Series User Manual 5. ASCII Strings ASCII string parameters must use a combination of ASCII characters in a string. For example: For the command: MODE <name>, <name> must be an ASCII string. Command Abbreviations The syntax for SCPI commands contains a combination of upper and lower case letters.
REMOTE CONTROL Command Details When using commands to select a specific channel, [1] stands for CH1, [2] stands for CH2, [3] stands for CH3, [4] stands for CH4. "1" can be omitted when you want to select CH1 as it is selected by default.

GPP Series User Manual In general it is best to use the Operation Complete Bit (bit 0) in the standard event register to check to see if an operation/command has completed. After executing the *OPC command, the OPC bit will be set to 1. If a command or query is placed in the output buffer immediately before the *OPC command is sent, the Operation Complete Bit can be used to determine when the information can be used.
REMOTE CONTROL 4 Execution An execution error. Error 5 Command A command syntax error. Error 6 Not used Not used, return 0. 7 Power On This bit is set if the power supply has been reset from the last time you read the event register.
