38 SPD1000X User Manual
basic communication technology in computer networks. It allows
applications to communicate through network hardware and the
standard network protocol built into the operating system. This method
requires two-way communication between the instrument and the
computer network through an IP address and a fixed port number.
SPD1000X Socket communication port is 5025.
Using a network cable after connecting the SPD1000X (through the
rear panel LAN connector) to the local area network where the computer
is located, you can customize the programming with SCPI commands to
remotely control the SPD1000X. For more information, see
Programming Examples.
3.2 Grammar conventions
The SCPI command is a tree hierarchy that includes multiple
subsystems, each consisting of a root key and one or more level keys.
Command keywords are separated by a colon ":". The keywords are
followed by optional parameter settings. Commands and parameters are
separated by a space, and the parameters are separated by commas ",",
add a question mark "?", after the command line to inquire about this
function.
Most SCPI commands are a mixture of uppercase and lowercase
letters. Capital letters indicate abbreviations of shortened commands. For
better program readability, use the long commands convention. For
example,
[CH1:]VOLTage <voltage>
VOLT or VOLTage, uppercase and lowercase letters in any
combination will work. Therefore, VolTaGe, volt and Volt are acceptable.
Other formats such as VOL and VOLTAG will generate errors.
