6 SCPI Basics
The following examples illustrate the usage of the variable "<msus>" when it is the only
command parameter:
The variable "<msus>" is replaced with "LIST:". When the command is executed, the
output displays only the files from the List file system.
The following examples illustrate the usage of the variable "<file name>" with the
variable "<msus>":
The command from the above example cannot discern which file system LIST_1 belongs to
without a file system specifier and will not work without it. When the command is properly
executed, LIST_1 is deleted from the List file system.
The following example shows the same command, but using Format 2 from the “File Name
Variables" on page 164:
:MMEMory:DELete:NAME "LIST_1@LIST"
When a file name is a parameter for a command that is not file system specific, either
format
(<file name>","<msus>" or "<file name@file system>") will work.
Refer to Ta b l e 1 3 on page 156 for a listing of special syntax characters.
Quote Usage with SCPI Commands
As a general rule, programming languages require that SCPI commands be enclosed in
double quotes as shown in the following example:
":FM:EXTernal:IMPedance 600"
Command Syntax with the msus variable
:MMEMory:CATalog? "<msus>"
Command Syntax with the file system
:MMEMory:CATalog? "LIST:"
Command Syntax with the file name and msus variables
:MMEMory:DELete[:NAME] "<file name>",["<msus>"]
Command Syntax with the file name and file system
:MMEMory:DELete:NAME "LIST_1","LIST:"
