4. Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI),
(latest version).
This standard is a guide for the selection of messages to be included in
programmable instrumentation. It is primarily intended for instrument
firmware engineers. However, you may find it useful if you are
programming more than one instrument that claims conformance to
the SCPI standard. You can verify the use of standard SCPI commands
in different instruments.

5. The International Institute of Electrical Engineers and Electronic
Engineers, IEEE Standard 488.1-1987, IEEE Standard Digital
Interface for Programmable Instrumentation.
This standard defines the technical details required to design and build
an GPIB (IEEE 488.1) interface. This standard contains electrical
specifications and information on protocol that is beyond the needs of
most programmers. However, it can be useful to clarify formal
definitions of certain terms used in related documents.
