External References
SCPI references
The following documents will assist you with programming in SCPI:
– Beginner's Guide to SCPI. Keysight part no. H2325-90001. Highly
recommended for anyone who has not had previous experience programming
with SCPI.
– Tutorial Description of the General Purpose Interface Bus. Keysight part no.
5952-0156. Highly recommended for those not familiar with the IEEE 488.1
and 488.2 standards.
To obtain a copy of the above documents, contact your local Keysight Sales and
Support Office.
GPIB references
The most important GPIB documents are your controller programming manuals -
Keysight BASIC, GPIB Command Library for MS DOS, etc. Refer to these for all
non-SCPI commands (for example: Local Lockout).
The following are two formal documents concerning the GPIB interface:
– ANSI/IEEE Std. 488.1-1987 IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable
Instrumentation. Defines the technical details of the GPIB interface. While
much of the information is beyond the need of most programmers, it can serve
to clarify terms used in this guide and in related documents.
– ANSI/IEEE Std. 488.2-1987 IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols, and
Common Commands. Recommended as a reference only if you intend to do
fairly sophisticated programming. Helpful for finding precise definitions of
certain types of SCPI message formats, data types, or common commands.
The above two documents are available from the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers), 345 East 47th Street, New York, NY 10017, USA.
