3.6 Description of Commands
3.6.1 Notation
In the following sections, all commands implemented in the instrument are first listed in tables and then
described in detail, separated according to the command system. The notation corresponds to the one
of the SCPI standards to a large extent. The SCPI conformity information can be taken from the
individual description of the commands.
Table of Commands
Command: In the command column, the table provides an overview of the commands
and their hierarchical arrangement (see indentations).
Parameter: In the parameter column the requested parameters are indicated together
with their specified range.
Unit: The unit column indicates the basic unit of the physical parameters.
Remark: In the remark column an indication is made on:
– whether the command does not have a query form,
– whether the command has only one query form,
– whether this command is implemented only with a certain option of the
instrument.
Indentations The different levels of the SCPI command hierarchy are represented in the
table by means of indentations to the right. The lower the level is, the
farther the indentation to the right is. Please observe that the complete
notation of the command always includes the higher levels as well.
Example: SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer is represented in the table as
follows:
SENSe first level
:FREQuency second level
:CENTer third level
In the individual description, the hierarchy is represented in the
corresponding way. That is to say, for each command all key words above
up to the left-hand margin must be considered. An example for each
command is written out at the end of the individual description.
Upper/lower case notation Upper/lower case letters serve to mark the long or short form of the key
words of a command in the description (see Section 3.5.2). The instrument
itself does not distinguish between upper and lower case letters.
