Description
The Keysight 53220A/230A provide an improved SCPI command set that is easier to use than that
included in the Keysight 53132A counter. This command reference documents the improved SCPI com-
mand set.
For backwards-compatibility, the 53220A/230A also support most of the SCPI command set from the
Keysight 53132A counter (and Hewlett-Packard labelled version) via the SYSTem:LANGuage language
switch. Usage of this older SCPI command set is discouraged for new use, but is available for customers
who require it.
The SYSTem:LANGuage allows you to select between the 53220A/230A command set or the older
53132A command set.
