Keysight M8070A Programming Guide 93
SCPI Command Language 4
With the optional commands removed:
:VOLT ‘M1.DataOut1’,1.11
The long form is the most descriptive form of programming commands in
SCPI.
Sending Commands to the M8020A/M8030A/M8040A
Sending Commands to the M8020A/M8030A/M8040A - Overview
A command is invalid and will be rejected if:
• It contains a syntax error.
• It cannot be identified.
• It has too few or too many parameters.
• A parameter is out of range.
• It is out of context.
Sending Commands using VISA
The following is a list of the available hardware interfaces for sending
commands to the M8020A/M8030A/M8040A firmware:
SCPI Access (HiSLIP): TCPIP0::localhost::hislip0::INSTR (High-Speed LAN
Instrument Protocol)
SCPI Access (VXI-11): TCPIP0::localhost::inst0::INSTR (VXI-11 is a TCP/IP
instrument protocol defined by the VXIbus Consortium)
SCPI Access (Socket): TCPIP0::localhost::5025::SOCKET (Standard
SCPI-over-sockets port)
SCPI Access (Telnet): telnet localhost 5024 (Communication with LAN
instrument through SCPI Telnet port)
NOTE
If you use the VXI-11 (TCP/IP instrument protocol) in your test programs,
you must change the resource string to the HiSLIP protocol if the
software is running on Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. VXI-11 is not
supported at this time on Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.
For example:
“TCPIP0::192.17.34.0::inst0::INSTR” -> “TCPIP0::192.17.34.0::hislip0::INSTR”
