SCPI programming
SCPI programming information is integrated with front panel operation throughout this man-
ual. SCPI commands are listed in tables, and additional information that pertains exclusively to
remote operation is provided after each table. Also, the SCPI tables may reference other sections
of this manual.
NOTE Except for Section 11, all SCPI tables in this manual are abridged. That is, they ex-
clude most optional command words and query commands. Optional command words
and query commands are summarized as follows.
Optional Command Words — In order to be in conformance with the IEEE-488.2 standard,
the power supply accepts optional command words. Any command word that is enclosed in
brackets ([]) is optional and does not have to be included in the program message.
Query commands — Most command words have a query form. A query command is iden-
tified by the question mark (?) that follows the command word. A query command requests (que-
ries) the programmed status of that command. When a query is sent and the power supply is
addressed to talk, the response message is sent to the computer.
NOTE For complete details, see “Programming syntax” in Section 6.
