SCPI Command Summary
Tables 3-4 through 3-16 summarize the commands for each SCPI subsystem.
General notes:
Brackets ([ ]) are used to denote optional character sets. These optional characters do not have to be included in the program
message. Do not use brackets in the program message.
Angle brackets (< >) are used to indicate parameter type. Do not use angle brackets in the program message.
The Boolean parameter (<b>) is used to enable or disable an instrument operation. 1 or ON enables the operation and 0 or
OFF disables the operation.
Upper case characters indicate the short-form version for each command word.
Default Parameter - Listed parameters are both the *RST and :SYSTem:PRESet defaults, unless noted otherwise. Param-
eter notes are located at the end of each table.
SCPI - A check mark (˚) indicates that the command and its parameters are SCPI confirmed. An unmarked command in-
dicates that it is non-SCPI. SCPI confirmed commands that use one or more non-SCPI parameters are explained by notes.
