8.2 Notations
For a detailed description of SCPI notations, see Chapter 10, "Remote control basics",
on page 125.
Numeric suffixes <n>
If a command can be applied to multiple instances of an object, e.g. specific power
sensors, the required instances can be specified by a suffix added to the command.
Numeric suffixes are indicated by angular brackets (<1...4>, <n>, <I>) and are replaced
by a single value in the command. Entries without a suffix are interpreted as having the
suffix 1.
Optional keywords [ ]
Some command systems permit certain keywords to be inserted into the header or
omitted. These keywords are marked by square brackets in the description. The power
sensor must recognize the long command to comply with the SCPI standard. Some
commands are considerably shortened without these optional mnemonics.
So you can use the short or long form for the commands, distinguished here by upper-
case and lowercase letters. Also, you can shorten by omitting optional keywords.
Example:
Command [SENSe<Sensor>:][POWer:][AVG:]SMOothing:STATe 1 can be writ-
ten as:
SENSe1:POWer:AVG:SMOothing:STATe 1
SENS:POW:AVG:SMO:STAT 1
SENSe:POWer:SMOothing:STATe 1
SENSe:SMOothing:STATe 1
SMOothing:STATe 1
SMO:STAT 1
Parameters
Parameters must be separated from the header by a "white space". If several parame-
ters are specified in a command, they are separated by a comma (,).
