70 Agilent E8462A Relay Multiplexer Command Reference

An example is the TRIGger:SOURce <source> command where source can be BUS,

EXTernal, HOLD, IMMediate, ECLTrgn, or TTLTrgn.

Numeric Parameters are commonly used decimal representations of numbers

including optional signs, decimal points, and scientific notation (for example, 123,

123E2, -123, -1.23E2, .123, 1.23E-2, 1.23000E- 01). Special cases include

MINimum, MAXimum and DEFault.

Optional Parameters are shown within square brackets ([]). The brackets are not

part of the command, and are not sent to the instrument. If you do not specify a value

for an optional parameter, the instrument chooses a default value. For example,

consider the

ARM:COUNt? [<MIN|MAX>] command. If you send the command

without specifying a parameter, the present

ARM:COUNt value is returned. If you

send the

MIN parameter, the command returns the minimum count available. If you

send the

MAX parameter, the command returns the maximum count available. Be

sure to place a space between the command and the parameter.

Linking

Commands

Linking IEEE 488.2 Common Commands with SCPI Commands. Use a

semicolon between the commands. For example:

*RST;*RCL 1 or CLOS (@101);*SAV 1

Linking Multiple SCPI Commands. Use both a semicolon and a colon between

the commands. For example:

CLOS (@101);:CLOS? (@101)

SCPI also allows several commands within the same subsystem to be linked with a

semicolon. For example:

ROUT:CLOS (@101);:ROUT:CLOS? (@101)

ROUT:CLOS (@101);CLOS? (@101)

SCPI Command Reference

This section describes the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments

(SCPI) reference commands for the multiplexer. Commands on the following pages

are listed alphabetically by subsystem and also within each subsystem.
