Command Categories
The SCPI command falls into two categories:
• Subsystem commands that simulate front panel keystrokes
• Common commands that are unique and have no front panel
equivalent
Use a computer to control the instrument (but operate the power/standby
switch manually). Computer programming procedures for the
instrument involve selecting a programming statement and then adding
the specified programming codes to that statement to achieve the
desired operating conditions.
For more specific command instructions, please refer to Chapter 5,
“Command Reference,” starting on page 49.
