SCPI command syntax
This operation manual denotes SCPI commands using the following format.
(Example)
Set command: [SOURce:]CURent[:LEVel]
[:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
{<current>|MINimum|MAXimum}
SCPI commands can be issued using the short form. The short form of an SCPI
command is the section of the command written in uppercase.
SCPI commands can be sent in the long form or short form. Since SCPI commands
are not case-sensitive, CURR, Curr, and curr are all accepted as the short form of
CURRent. In the long form, CURRENT, Current, and current are all acceptable.
• A space is required between the program header section and the data section.
• Multiple data values, when available, are concatenated using commas.
• Commands are concatenated using semicolons.
Set command: SOURce:CURRent MINimum;VOLTage MINi-
mum
• This is equivalent to entering the following Set commands.
Set command: CURRent MINimum
Set command: VOLTage MINimum
• A colon is required between program headers.
• Colons and semicolons can be used together to link SCPI commands from dif-
ferent subsystems.
Query command: CURRent MINimum;:MEASure:CURRent?
• The maximum number of characters that can be transmitted in a single line is
256.
Special symbols and characters

• Characters and numbers delimited by “|” in braces indicate that one of the items

tain values.
