Description of Commands R&S®SML / R&S®SMV03
1090.3123.12 E-6 6.2
Upper/lower case U
pper/lower case letters serve to mark the long or short form of the key
notation words of a command in the description. The instrument itself does not
distinguish between upper and lower case letters.
Special characters | A selection of key words with an identical effect exists for several
commands. These key words are indicated in the same line, they are
separated by a vertical stroke. Only one of these key words has to be
indicated in the header of the command. The effect of the command is
independent of which of the key words is indicated.
Example:
:SOURce
:FREQuency
:CW|:FIXed
The two following commands of identical meaning can be formed. They set
the frequency of the constantly frequent signal to 9 kHz:
:
SOURce:FREQuency:CW 9E3 = SOURce:FREQuency:FIXed 9E3
A vertical stroke in indicating the parameters marks alternative possibilities
in the sense of "or". The effect of the command is different, depending on
which parameter is entered.
Example: Selection of the parameters for the command
SOURce:COUPling AC | DC
If parameter AC is selected, only the AC content is fed through, in
the case of DC, the DC as well as the AC content.
[ ] Key words in square brackets can be omitted when composing the header
(cf. Chapter 5, Section "Optional Keywords"). The full command length
must be accepted by the instrument for reasons of compatibility with the
SCPI standards.
Parameters in square brackets can optionally be incorporated in the
command or omitted as well.
{ } Parameters in braces can optionally be incorporated in the command either
not at all, once or several times.
