SCPI Command Summary
This section summarizes the Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments (SCPI) available to program the
power supply over the remote interface. Refer to the
respective sections in this chapter for more details on each
command.
Throughout this manual, the following conventions are used
for the SCPI command syntax.
• Square brackets ([]) indicate optional keywords or
parameters.
• Braces ({}) enclose parameters within a command string.
• Triangle brackets (<>) indicate that you must substitute a
value or a code for the enclosed parameter.
• A vertical bar (|) separates one of two or more
alternative parameters.
NOTE
If you are a first-time user of the SCPI language, refer to “Introduction to
the SCPI Language” and “Simplified Programming Overview” to familiarize
with the SCPI language before attempting to program the power supply.
