6 Remote Control – Description of Commands
In the following sections, all commands implemented in the instrument are first listed in tables and then
described in detail, separated according to the command system. The notation corresponds to the one
of the SCPI standards to a large extent. The SCPI conformity information can be taken from the list of
commands at the end of this chapter.
The description of manual operation, Chapter 4, indicates the corresponding IEC/IEEE-bus command
for each manual setting.
A general introduction to remote control and a description of the status registers are to be found in
Chapter 5. Detailed program examples of the main functions are to be found in Chapter 7.
Note: In contrast to manual control, which is intended for maximum possible operating convenience,
the priority of remote control is the predictability of the device status. This means that when
incompatible settings are attempted, the command is ignored and the device status remains
unchanged, i.e. is not adapted to other settings. Therefore, IEC/IEEE-bus control programs
should always define an initial device status (e.g. with command *RST) and then implement the
required settings.
This manual contains the commands (syntax) of the firmware version 2.51.
Notation
Table of Commands
Command: In the command column, the table provides an overview of the commands
and their hierarchical arrangement (see indentations).
Parameter: In the parameter column the requested parameters are indicated together
with their specified range.
Unit: The unit column indicates the basic unit of the physical parameters.
Remark: In the remark column an indication is made on
– whether the command does not have a query form,
– whether the command has only one query form,
– whether this command is implemented only with a certain option of the
instrument.
Indentations The different levels of the SCPI command hierarchy are represented in the
table by means of indentations to the right. The lower the level is, the
farther the indentation to the right is. Please observe that the complete
notation of the command always includes the higher levels as well.
Example:
:
SOURce:FM:MODE is represented in the table as follows:
:SOURce
first level
:FM
second level
:MODE
third level
In the individual description, the complete notation of the command is given. An example for each
command and - if it exists - the default value (*RST) is written out at the end of the individual description.
