4.2 Programming Overview
The Model 420 conforms to the SCPI (Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments) IEEE standard. The SCPI standard is an
ASCII-based specification designed to provide a consistent command
structure for instruments from various manufacturers.
The Model 420 also implements a status system for monitoring the state of
the Model 420 through the Standard Event and Status Byte registers.
4.2.1 SCPI Language Introduction
SCPI commands conform to a tree structure where commands are grouped
according to common keywords. For example, commands which set a
Model 420 setup or operating parameter begin with the keyword
CONFigure. The keywords are shown in upper case and lower case to
indicate acceptable abbreviations. For the example keyword CONFigure,
the user may send either the abbreviated form of CONF, or the entire
keyword CONFIGURE. Any other form of the keyword is illegal and will
generate an error.
