1 Power Meter Remote Operation
110 Keysight N8262A Programming Guide
Using “*” Commands
Commands starting with a “*” are called common commands. They are required
to perform the identical function for all instruments that are compliant with the
IEEE-488.2 interface standard. The “*” commands are used to control reset,
self-test, and status operations in the power meter.
Syntax Conventions
Throughout this guide, the following conventions are used for SCPI command
syntax.
– Square brackets ([]) indicate optional keywords or parameters.
– Braces ({}) enclose one or more parameters that may be included zero or more
times.
– Triangle brackets (<>) indicate that you must substitute a value for the
enclosed parameter.
– Bars (|) can be read as “or” and are used to separate alternative parameter
options.
Syntax Diagram Conventions
– Solid lines represent the recommended path.
– Ovals enclose command mnemonics. The command mnemonic must be
entered exactly as shown.
– Dotted lines indicate an optional path for by passing secondary keywords.
– Arrows and curved intersections indicate command path direction.
If you send two query commands without reading the response from the first,
then attempt to read the second response, you may receive some data from the
first response followed by the complete second response. To avoid this, do not
send a query command without reading the response. When you cannot avoid
this situation, send a device clear before sending the second query command.
