mands in the long-form version. However, the short-form version is indicated by upper case

characters. Examples:

:SYSTem:PRESet Long-form

:SYST:PRES Short-form

:SYSTem:PRES Long and short-form combination

Note that each command word must be in long-form or short-form, and not something in

between. For example, :SYSTe:PRESe is illegal and will generate an error. The command

will not be executed.

Short-form rules:

The following rules can be used to determine the short-form version of

any SCPI command:

A. If the length of the command word is four letters or less, there is no short-form version.

Example:

:auto = :auto

B. The following rules apply to command words that exceed four letters:

a. If the fourth letter of the command word is a vowel, delete it and all the letters after

it. Example:

:immediate = :imm

Rule exception – The short-form version of the following command uses only the

ﬁrst two letters of the word:

:TCouple = :tc

b. If the fourth letter of the command word is a consonant, retain it but drop all the

letters after it. Example:

:output = :outp

C. If there is a question mark (?; query) or a non-optional number included in the com-

mand word, it must be included in the short-form version. Examples:

:delay? = :del?

:layer2 = :lay2

D. As previously explained, command words or characters that are enclosed in brackets

([]) are optional and need not be included in the program message.
