Structure
SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments) commands follow a tree-like structure,
organized into nodes. Each level of the command tree is
a node. Each keyword in an SCPI command represents
each node in the command tree. Each keyword (node) of
an SCPI command is separated by a colon (:).
For example, the diagram below shows an SCPI
sub-structure and a command example.
Command Types
There are a number of different instrument commands
and queries. A command sends instructions or data to the
unit and a query receives data or status information from
the unit.
Command Types
