58 Agilent E1330B Digital I/O Module Command Reference
Chapter 5
Command
Separator
A colon (:) always separates one command from the next lower level command. This
is illustrated as follows:
MEASure:DIGital:DATA
n
:VALue?
Colons separate the root command from the second level (
MEASure:DIGital
) and the
second from third level (
DIGital:DATA
n), and so forth.
Abbreviated
Commands
The command syntax shows most commands as a mixture of upper and lower case
letters. The upper case letters indicate the abbreviated spelling for the command. For
shorter program lines, send the abbreviated form. For better program readability, you
may send the entire command. The instrument will accept either the abbreviated
form or the entire command.
For example, if the command syntax shows
MEASure
, then
MEAS
and
MEASURE
are both acceptable forms. Other forms of
MEASure
, such as
MEASU
or
MEASUR
will generate an error. You may use upper or lower case letters. Therefore,
MEASURE
,
measure
, and
MeAsUrE
are all acceptable.
Command keywords can be entered in their full form, as shown above, or can be
entered in their short form. In this manual, the entry required in short form
commands is always capitalized. The short form is generally used for examples in
this manual.
Implied
Commands
Implied commands are those which appear in square brackets ([ ]) in the command
syntax. (Note that the brackets are not part of the command and are not sent to the
instrument.) Suppose you send a second level command but do not send the
preceding implied command. In this case, the instrument assumes you intend to use
the implied command and it responds as if you had sent it. Examine this excerpt from
the
[SOURce:]
subsystem shown below:
[SOURce:]
DIGital
:DATA
n
[:VALue] <
parameter
>
:BIT
m
<
parameter
>
Both the root command
[SOURce:]
, and forth level command
[:VALue]
, are implied
commands. To set the instrument to output a logical 1 to bit 0 of port 3, you may send
either:
SOURce:DIGital:DATA3:BIT0 1
or
DIGital:DATA3:BIT0 1
Note
You must include a space between the keywords and any parameters.
