SCPI Programming Fundamentals
SCPI Language Basics
<string> A series of alpha numeric characters.
<bit_pattern> Specifies a series of bits rather than a numeric value. The bit series is the binary representation of a numeric value.
There are no units.
Bit patterns are most often specified as hexadecimal numbers, though octal, binary or decimal numbers may also be
used. In the SCPI language these numbers are specified as:
• Hexadecimal, #Hdddd or #hdddd where ‘d’ represents a hexadecimal digit 0 to 9 and ‘a’ to ‘f’. So #h14 can be used
instead of the decimal number 20.
• Octal, #Odddddd or #odddddd where ‘d’ represents an octal digit 0 to 7. So #o24 can be used instead of the
decimal number 20.
• Binary, #Bdddddddddddddddd or #bdddddddddddddddd where ‘d’ represents a 1 or 0. So #b10100 can be used
instead of the decimal number 20.
