A.1 SCPI command structure
SCPI commands consist of a header and, usually, one or more parameters. The head-
ers may consist of several mnemonics (keywords). Queries are formed by appending a
question mark directly to the header.
The commands can be either instrument-specific or instrument-independent (common
commands). Common and instrument-specific commands differ in their syntax.
A.1.1 Syntax for common commands
Common (= instrument-independent) commands consist of a header preceded by an
asterisk (*), and possibly one or more parameters.
Table A-1: Examples of common commands
*RST RESET Resets the instrument.
*ESE EVENT STATUS ENABLE Sets the bits of the event status enable registers.
*ESR? EVENT STATUS QUERY Queries the contents of the event status register.
*IDN? IDENTIFICATION QUERY Queries the instrument identification string.
