SCPI Commands
The Keysight 34410A/11A/L4411A complies with the syntax rules and conventions
of SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments).
SCPI Language Conventions. Throughout this guide, the following conventions
are used for SCPI command syntax for remote interface programming:
• Braces ( { } ) enclose the parameter choices for a given command string. The braces
are not sent with the command string.
• A vertical bar ( | ) separates multiple parameter choices for a given command string.
• Triangle brackets ( < > ) indicate that you must specify a value for the enclosed
parameter. The brackets are not sent with the command string.
• Some parameters are enclosed in square brackets ( [ ] ). This indicates that the
parameter is optional and can be omitted. The brackets are not sent with
the
command string. If you do not specify a value for an optional parameter, the
instrument chooses a default value.
SCPI Language Version. You can determine the SCPI version to which your
instrument adheres by sending a command from the remote interface.
• You can query the SCPI version from the remote interface only.
•
Remote Interface Operation: The SYSTem:VERSion? query returns the SCPI
version in the form “YYYY.V”, where “YYYY” represents the year of the version, and
“V” represents a version number for that year (for example, 1994.0).
For complete SCPI command syntax information, refer to the Keysight
34410A/11A/L4411A Programmer’s Reference Help. This is a standard Windows help
system, provided on the Keysight 34410A/11A/L4411A Product Reference CD-ROM
that came with your instrument.
