Ethernet & Sequencer Programming SM15K
7 / 44 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V. rev. Aug. 2019
4 Conventions
The SM15K has a command set, which includes commands compatible with the SCPI language (Standard
Commands for Programmable Instruments).
4.1 Syntax
The command descriptions contain the syntax of the instructions and show the form in which these
commands can be sent to the SM15K.
It is allowed either to use the short form or the entire command.
For example : SOURce:VOLtage<sp>5<term> can be send as :
sour:vol<sp>5<term>
source:volt<sp>5<term>
source:voltage<sp>5<term>
sour:voltage<sp>5<term>
SoUrCe:VoLt<sp>5<term>
(Sending mixed upper- and lowercase is allowed).
4.2 Query
Commands ending with a question mark "?" (ASCII character 3FH, 63d) are interpreted as a
query. If it is a valid command, the unit will respond with an answer. Otherwise an error is
generated.
4.3 Space <sp>
Within the syntax spaces are used, indicated by <sp>, which is equal to ASCII character 20H (32d).
4.4 Terminator <term>
At the end of each command or query, a terminator character is required, indicated by <term>.
Each reply on a valid query will end with <term>.
Default terminator is a linefeed (ASCII character OAH, 10d).
For other terminator options see paragraph 5-6, sub-paragraph "Terminator".
4.5 Parameters
Within this document, parameters are used to indicate the form of data sent to or coming from the SM15K.
<NR1> = positive integers: 0,1,2,3,...
<NR2> = floating point : 3.22, 0.06, etc.
<boolean> = False or True parameter : 0 or 1, OFF or ON.
[ ] = It is allowed to use or to skip this part of the command.
