Keithley 2280 Series Reference Manual

Series 2280 Precision DC Power Supply Reference Manual Section 6: Introduction to SCPI commands
077085503 / March 2019 6-3
For example, you can send the command :DISPlay:CLEar in any of the following formats:
:DISPlay:CLEar
:display:clear
:DISP:CLE
:disp:cle
Optional command words
If a command word is enclosed in brackets ([ ]), the command word is optional. Do not include the
brackets if you send the optional command word to the instrument.
For example, you can send the command :STATus:MEASurement[:EVENt]? in any of the
following formats:
:STATus:MEASurement:EVENt?
:STATus:MEASurement?
:STAT:MEAS:EVEN?
:STAT:MEAS?
MINimum, MAXimum, and DEFault
You can use MINimum, MAXimum, or DEFault instead of a parameter for some commands.
For example, you can set <defaultParameter> for the
command :SENSe:CONCurrent:NPLCycles <defaultParameter> to the minimum, maximum,
or default value. To set NPLC to the minimum value, you can send either of these commands:
:SENSe:CONCurrent:NPLCycles MINimum
:SENS:CONC:NPLC MIN
Queries
SCPI queries have a question mark (?) after the command. You can use the query to determine the
present value of the parameters of the command or to get information from the instrument.
For example, to determine what the present setting for NPLC is, you can send:
:SENSe:CONCurrent:NPLCycles?
This query returns the present setting.
If the command has MINimum, MAXimum, and DEFault options, you can use the query command to
determine what the minimum, maximum, and default values are. In these queries, the ? is placed
before the MINimum, MAXimum, or DEFault parameter. For example, to determine the minimum
value for NPLC, you can send:
:SENSe:CONCurrent:NPLCycles? MINimum
