SCPI command subsystems
SCPI commands are categorized into subsystems and are presented in the following alphabetical
order:
4.13 Calculate subsystems
Covers the commands for the three Calculate subsystems.
:CALCulate1 is used to configure and control the “mX+B” and “PERCENT” math op-
erations. :CALCulate2 is used to manipulate readings stored in the buffer, and
:CALCulate3 is used to configure and control the limit tests.
4.14 :CALibrate subsystem
Provides a table that summarizes the commands used to cal-
ibrate the Model 2001. Actual calibration procedures are contained in the Model 2001
Calibration Manual.
4.15 :DISPlay subsystem
Explains the commands that are used to control display read-
ings and messages for the top and bottom portions of the display.
4.16 :FORMat subsystem
Covers the commands used to select the data format for trans-
ferring instrument readings over the bus.
4.17 :OUTPut subsystem
Covers the commands used to select the polarity for the digital
output lines.
4.18 :ROUTe subsystem
Covers the commands that are used to control switching.
4.19 Sense subsystems
Explains the commands of the two Sense subsystems. :SENSe1 is
used to configure and control the measurement functions of the Model 2001. :SENSe2
is used to read the digital input port.
4.20 :SOURce subsystem
Explains the commands used to control the digital output port.
4.21 :STATus subsystem
Covers the commands used to configure and control the status
registers.
4.22 :SYSTem subsystem
Covers miscellaneous commands not covered by the other sub-
systems.
4.23 :TRACe subsystem
Explains the commands used to control the reading buffer.
4.24 Trigger subsystem
Covers the commands used to configure the Trigger Model.
4.25 :UNIT subsystem
Explains the commands used to select measurement units.
