(see Section 3.5.2). The instrument itself does not
distinguish between upper and lower case letters.
Special characters | A selection of key words with an identical effect exists
for several commands. These keywords are indicated in
the same line; they are separated by a vertical stroke.
Only one of these keywords needs to be included in the
header of the command. The effect of the command is
independent of which of the keywords is used.
Example:
SENSe:FREQuency:CW|:FIXed
The two following commands with identical meaning can
be created. They set the frequency of the fixed
frequency signal to 1kHz:
SENSe:FREQuency:CW 1E3 =
SENSe:FREQuency:FIXed 1E3
A vertical stroke in parameter indications marks
alternative possibilities in the sense of "or". The effect of
the command is different, depending on which
parameter is used.
Example: Selection of the parameters for the command
DISPlay:FORMat FULL | SPLit
If parameter FULL is selected, full screen is displayed, in
the case of SPLit, split screen is displayed.
[ ] Key words in square brackets can be omitted when
composing the header (cf. Section 3.5.2, Optional
Keywords). The full command length must be accepted
by the instrument for reasons of compatibility with the
SCPI standards. Parameters in square brackets can be
incorporated optionally in the command or omitted as
well.
{ } Parameters in braces can be incorporated optionally in
the command, either not at all, once or several times.
Description of parameters Due to the standardisation, the parameter section of
SCPI commands consists always of the same
syntactical elements. SCPI has therefore specified a
series of definitions, which are used in the tables of
commands. In the tables, these established definitions
are indicated in angled brackets (<...>) and will be briefly
explained in the following (see also Section 3.5.5,
"Parameters").
<Boolean> This keyword refers to parameters which can adopt two
states, "on" and "off". The "off" state may either be
indicated by the keyword OFF or by the numeric value
0, the "on" state is indicated by ON or any numeric value
other than zero. Parameter queries are always returned
the numeric value 0 or 1.
<numeric_value>
<num> These keywords mark parameters which may be
entered as numeric values or be set using specific
keywords (character data).The following keywords given
below are permitted:
