Operating Manual 1145.1084.12 – 30 1164
Block data format is recommended (if possible), because it
reduces the amount of data to be transferred over GPIB bus
or LAN.
Format: <Command> %s
%s = parameter for block data
Example:
:FORM REAL,64;:LIST:POW %s
Mandatory if
GENERATORIECAVAIL =
TTL, else unnecessary
0 = after every selection of a list, the command
GENERATORLEARNLIST is sent to the generator in order to
learn the list.
1 = learn list not required after list selection.
--> command GENERATORLEARNLIST is not sent after list
selection.
This parameter not necessary for most generators; it is
required e.g. for the R&S SMP.
Optional if
GENERATORIECAVAIL =
TTL, else unnecessary
SCPI command to start the "learn list" function after transfer
or modification of the list data. Neither the list name (as for
GENERATORSELECTLISTBYNAME) nor a list of frequencies or
power levels is sent to the generator.
The R&S SMP generator requires this command after a list
selection. It is not needed for most other generators.
Example SMP:
:SOUR:LIST:LEAR
Mandatory if
GENERATORIECAVAIL =
TTL, else unnecessary
SCPI command to reset the list (index) to the starting point.
This command is used after list selection, if the
GENERATORLEARNLIST command is empty.
Example:
:SOUR:LIST:RES
Qualifies whether or not to split SCPI command sequences
into individual commands.
0: false ( default)
1: true ( = split command sequence)
Example:
'SYST2:PRES; UNIT:POW DBM' is split into
*CLS (if GENERATOR_COMMANDPREFIX
= *CLS or no GENERATOR_COMMANDPREFIX definition )
SYST2:PRES
UNIT:POW DBM
*OPC or *OPC? (if GENERATORUSEOPC = 1
or 3)
Defines the string to be used as a prefix for any sent
command. If no GENERATOR_COMMANDPREFIX is defined,
the default value *CLS is used.
Remark: It is possible to define an empty string .
"GENERATOR_COMMANDPREFIX = *CLS" has the same
effect as no GENERATOR_COMMANDPREFIX definition.
"GENERATOR_COMMANDPREFIX = " has the effect that no
prefix is added.
If the defined prefix is not empty, a semicolon (";") is
automatically added by the firmware.
minimum output frequency [Hz]
SCPI command to query the generator for its minimum output
