Introduction to SCPI

The Command Tree

The SCPI standard organizes related instrument functions by grouping
them together on a common branch of a command tree (see

Figure 9-2 on

page 9-6

for an example command tree). Each branch is assigned a

mnemonic to indicate the nature of the related functions. The analyzer
has 16 major SCPI branches or subsystems. See

Figure 9-1

for a model

of how these subsystems are organized to manage the measurement and
data flow for the analyzer.
