2-9 Formatting Conventions
This manual uses the following conventions in describing SCPI commands.
2-10 Parameter Names
The parameters that are returned depend on the firmware version in the S412E, and this
document does not cover all possible parameter values that can be returned by the command.
Parameter names are dependent upon individual applications and are different for each
application. They can be extracted via a Trace Preamble command.
The following tables list the parameter options for the :TRACe:PREamble? command in
each supported measurement mode:
LMR Master, refer to:
• Table 5-3, “Trace Header Parameters” on page 5-54.
• Table 5-4, “Trace Header Marker Parameters” on page 5-62
• Table 5-5, “Trace Header Limits Parameters” on page 5-63
Vector Voltmeter, refer to Table 6-2, “Trace Header Parameters” on page 6-7.
Spectrum Analyzer, refer to Table 4-1, “Available Parameters in Spectrum Analyzer Mode”
on page 4-38.
Fixed and Mobile WiMAX, refer to Table 7-1, “Available Parameters in WiMAX and Mobile
WiMAX Mode” on page 7-22.
P25, refer to Table 10-1, “Returned Parameter Values in Trace Preamble” on page 10-24.
P25p2, refer to Table 11-1, “Returned Parameter Values in Trace Preamble” on page 11-27.
NXDN, refer to Table 12-1, “Returned Parameter Values in Trace Preamble” on page 12-24.
dPMR, refer to Table 13-1, “Returned Parameter Values in Trace Preamble” on page 13-23.
DMR 2, refer to Table 14-1, “Returned Parameter Values in Trace Preamble” on page 14-30.
PTC, refer to Table 15-1, “Returned Parameter Values in Trace Preamble” on page 15-28.
NBFM, refer to Table 16-1, “Returned Parameter Values in Trace Preamble” on page 16-31.
TETRA, refer to Table 17-1, “Returned Parameter Values in Trace Preamble” on page 17-23.
Table 2-7. Formatting Conventions
:COMMands:LOOK:LIKE:THIS Commands are formatted to differentiate them
from their description.
:COMMand:QUERies:LOOK:LIKE:THIS? The query form of the command is followed by
a “?”
Front panel key sequences use this
formatting.
Front panel key presses are formatted to
differentiate them from text descriptions. Key
presses are separated by a comma (“,”).
<identifier> Identifiers are enclosed in angular brackets, “< >”.
They indicate that some type of data must be
provided. Refer to Table 2-3 on page 2-7 for
details on the types of identifiers.
| The pipe (or vertical bar), “|” indicates that a
choice must be made.
[optional input] Optional input is enclosed in square brackets,
“[ ]”. The “[ ]” are not part of the command.
