IQ-2600B

SCPI Commands

➤

READ and DATA are keywords that define the function of the 
command.

➤

[    ] indicates that a keyword or a parameter is optional.

➤

<space> is included to indicate that a space is required.

➤

<digits> is the command parameter.

All keywords must be CAPITAL characters separated by a colon. A typical 
command would be:

FORM2:READ:DATA 

This command instructs the module, located in IQ-203 position 2, to 
display a power measurement with one digit after the decimal point.
