– T-BERD ⁄ MTS 8000 and T-BERD ⁄ MTS 6000A — The family of products, typically
a combination of a base unit, a battery module, and one or more application modules.
The Dual Module Carrier (DMC) can be used on the T-BERD / MTS 8000 platform to

Command case-
sensitivity
SCPI command headers are not case sensitive, so both commands below are correct and
return the Signal Present test result.
:SENSE:DATA? CSTatus:PHYSical:SIGNal
:sense:data? CSTatus:PHYSical:SIGNal
Result names are not case sensitive, so both commands below return the Signal Present
test result.
:SENSE:DATA? CSTatus:PHYSical:SIGNal
