4.7 Device Dependent Command Set
As recommended by the SCPI consortium and to stay consistent with the more
sophisticated DLS TestWorks simulators, the DLS 50 uses the following tree structure:
:SETting
:CHANnel
:LENgth <NRf>
:SYSTem
:COMMunicate
:GPIB
:ADDRess <0..30>
:SERial
:BAUD 300 | 600 | 1200 | 2400 | 4800 | 9600 | 19200 | 38400
:FORMat E71 | O71 | E72 | O72 | N72 | E81 | O81 | N81 | N82
:PACE NONE | CTS | RTS/CTS | XON/XOFF | ALL
Each section of the command may be sent in the full or the truncated form (indicated in
upper case). The command itself may be sent in upper or lower case form.
The DLS 50 will round any number to the nearest number permitted by the resolution of
the parameter.
Sections 4.3 and 4.4 give more information on the data format and the command syntax.
4.7.1 :SETting:CHANnel:LENgth <NRf>
Set the length of the simulated wireline channel, where <NRf> is the length ranging
from 0 to the maximum length (the maximum value depends on the DLS 50 model).
For example, to set the length of the simulated wireline to 8.5 kft, send:
:SET:CHAN:LEN 8.5 kft
The units of the length are optional, but they must match your DLS 50 model units.
