5-74 SCPI Command Reference
:UNIT subsystem
The UNIT subsystem is used to configure and control the measurement units
for TEMP, ACV, and DCV, and is summarized in Table 5-11.
:TEMPerature command
:TEMPerature <name>
:UNIT:TEMPerature <name> Specify TEMP units
Parameters <name> = C or CEL °C temperature units
F or FAR °F temperature units
K K temperature units
Query TEMPerature? Query temperature units
Description This command is used to specify the units for temperature measurements.
:VOLTage commands
:AC <name>
:UNIT:VOLTage:AC <name> Specify ACV units
Parameters <name> = V AC voltage measurement units
DB dB AC voltage measurement units
DBM dBm AC voltage measurement units
Query :AC? Query AC voltage units
Description This command is used to select the units for ACV measurements. With volt
(V) units selected, normal AC voltage measurements are made for the ACV
function. With DB units selected, AC dB voltage measurements are per-
formed. The DBM units selection is used to make decibel measurements ref-
erenced to 1mW. dB and dBm measurements are explained further in
Section 2.
