11.3 Command Structure
The LCR-6000 commands are divided into two types: Common commands
and SCPI commands.
The common commands are defined in IEEE std. 488.2-1987, and these
commands are common for all devices. The SCPI commands are used to
control all of the LCR-6000's functions.
The SCPI commands are tree structured, three levels deep. The highest level
commands are called the subsystem commands in this manual. So the lower
level commands are legal only when the subsystem commands have been
selected.
A colon (:) is used to separate the higher level commands and the lower level
commands.
Semicolon (;) A semicolon does not change the current path but separates two
commands in the same message.
