186 HP E1419 Command Reference
*RST;OUTP:TTLT3 ON
Linking Multiple complete SCPI Commands. Use both a semicolon and a colon
between the commands. For example:
OUTP:TTLT2 ON;:TRIG:SOUR EXT
The semicolon as well as separating commands tells the SCPI parser to expect the
command keyword following the semicolon to be at the same hierarchical level (and
part of the same command branch) as the keyword preceding the semicolon. The
colon immediately following the semicolon tells the SCPI parser to reset the
expected hierarchical level to Root.
Linking a complete SCPI Command with other keywords from the same branch and
level. Separate the first complete SCPI command from next partial command with
the semicolon only. For example take the following portion of the [SENSE]
subsystem command tree (the FUNCtion branch):
[SENSe:]
FUNCtion
:RESistance <range>,(@<ch_list>)
:TEMPerature <sensor>[,<range>,](@<ch_list>)
:VOLTage[:DC] [<range>,](@<ch_list>)
Rather than send a complete SCPI command to set each function, you could send:
FUNC:RES 10000,(@100:107);TEMP RTD, 92,(@108:115);VOLT (@116,123)
This sets the first 8 channels to measure resistance, the next 8 channels to measure
temperature, and the next 8 channels to measure voltage.
The command keywords following the semicolon must be from the same command
branch and level as the complete command preceding the semicolon or a
-113,"Undefined header" error will be generated.
TRIG:SOUR IMM;*TRG
