8.3.3 Basic SCPI command structure
The basic command structure is:
<VERB>:<NOUN>:<NOUN>
All commands generate an <INVALID> response if the command cannot be interpreted (see
section 8.3.6). This appears immediately after the term that cannot be interpreted.
8.3.4 Verbs
The interface controller can only issue two verbs:
READ - A query command reading information on the specified noun.
SET - Updates information for the specified noun. An attempt to set a read-only noun returns an
invalid response.
The iTC replies to both these verbs with a STAT (status) verb:
If responding to a READ verb, the STAT verb is followed by the requested data.
If responding to a SET verb, the STAT verb is followed by the value set.
Examples:
Send: READ:SYS:TIME (meaning ‘read system time’)
Response: STAT:SYS:TIME:13:57:23 (meaning ‘status system time is 13:57:23’)
Send: SET:DEV:MB1.T1:TEMP:TSET:4.321 (meaning ‘set device
motherboard1, temperature1, temperature signal target value to 4.321K’)
