SCPI CONFORMANCE INFORMATION
This Appendix contains compliance data as required by SCPI
1992
Specification,
Volume
1: Syntax and Style. Specifically, paragraph 4.2.3, Documentation
Requirements, specifies the Conformance Information requirements for SCPI products.
Model395
SC
PI
Version
The
Model395
100 MHz Synthesized Arbitrary Waveform Generator has been de-
signed to comply with SCPI Version 1992.0, dated February 1992.
Model 395 SC
PI
Command Syntax
The SCPI specification, Version 1992.0, defines three type
of
SCPI commands which
may be used in a SCPI product: Confirmed Commands, Approved Commands, and Not
SCPI Approved Commands.
SCPI Confirmed Commands
Confirmed Commands are those commands which are published
in
SCPI
1992
Specification, Volume 2: Command Reference. Refer to Table
C-l
for the
complete syntax
of
Model 395 SCPI commands. Mode! 395 Confirmed Commands will
be identified with the notation "Confirmed" in the third column.
SCPI Approved Commands
Approved
Commands
are those commands
that
have
been
approved
by the SCPI
Consortium, but are not published in the SCPI 1992 Specification. Refer to Table
C-l
for the complete syntax
of
Model395 SCPI commands. Model395 Approved Commands
will be identified with the notation "Approved"
in
the third column.
Not SCPI ApprovedCommands
The SCPI Specification does allow products using the SCPI language to have specialized
commands inc1uded which are outside
of
the SCPI definition. Refer to Table
C-l
for the
complete syntax
of
Model 395 SCPI commands. Any Model395 commands thatare not
in the SCPI definition are identified with the notation "Not SCPI Approved" in the third
column.
Incomplete Command Implementation
The SCPI definition specifies each command completely, and
if
the command keyword
is
at
the
leaf
node,
it
specifies the parameter data
and
query responses. In some cases,
a
SCPI
product may not împlement all
of
the choices given
in
the specification.
For
example, when parameter character
data
is
in
the
form
of
a
list
of
choices, the
product's hardware may not support all
of
those choices:
[SOURce]:FREQuency:MODE <CWIFIXedISWEepILISTISENSe>
In this example, a complete list
of
possible Frequency Modes is given. However, the
product's
feature set may want to
have
a settable Frequency
Mode
in
order to set a
CWIFIXED frequency, and to enter a Frequency Sweep Mode. The other Modes, LIST
and SENSe, may not have any hardware to support them. In this case, the SCPI Syntax
Table (refer to Table
C-l)
would use footnotes to indicate partial conformance to the
SCPI Specification.
