7 Remote Control Commands
In the following, all remote-control commands will be presented in detail with their param-
eters and the ranges of numerical values.
For an introduction to remote control and the status registers, refer to chapter 6, "Remote
Control Basics", on page 202.
Conventions used in SCPI Command Descriptions
Note the following conventions used in the remote command descriptions:
●
Command usage
If not specified otherwise, commands can be used both for setting and for querying
parameters.
If a command can be used for setting or querying only, or if it initiates an event, the
usage is stated explicitely.
●
Parameter usage
If not specified otherwise, a parameter can be used to set a value and it is the result
of a query.
Parameters required only for setting are indicated as Setting parameters.
Parameters required only to refine a query are indicated as Query parameters.
Parameters that are only returned as the result of a query are indicated as Return
values.
●
Conformity
Commands that are taken from the SCPI standard are indicated as SCPI con-
firmed. All commands used by the R&S SMB follow the SCPI syntax rules.
●
Asynchronous commands
A command which does not automatically finish executing before the next command
starts executing (overlapping command) is indicated as an Asynchronous com-
mand.
●
Reset values (*RST)
Default parameter values that are used directly after resetting the instrument (*RST
command) are indicated as *RST values, if available.
●
Manual operation
If the result of a remote command can also be achieved in manual operation, a link
to the description is inserted.
7.1 Common Commands
Common commands are described in the IEEE 488.2 (IEC 625-2) standard. These com-
mands have the same effect and are employed in the same way on different devices.
The headers of these commands consist of "*" followed by three letters. Many common
commands are related to the Status Reporting System.
