SCPI Commands HMC8012

1.4 

Messages and Command Structure

1.4.1 Messages

Instrument messages are employed in the same way for all interfaces, if not indicated otherwise in the description.

See also:

–  Structure and syntax of the instrument messages: 

chapter 1.4.2, „SCPI Command Structure“

, on page 7

–  Detailed description of all messages: 

chapter 2, „Command Reference“

, on page 20

There are different types of instrument messages:

– Commands

–  Instrument responses

Commands

Commands (program messages) are messages which the controller sends to the instrument. They operate the instru-
ment functions and request information. The commands are subdivided according to two criteria:

1.  According to the effect they have on the instrument:

 

–  Setting commands

 cause instrument settings such as a reset of the instrument or setting the frequency.

 

– Queries

 cause data to be provided for remote control, e.g. for identification of the instrument or polling a 

    parameter value. Queries are formed by directly appending a question mark to the command header.

2.  According to their definition in standards:

 

–  The function and syntax of the Common commands 

are precisely defined in standard IEEE 488.2. They are 

    employed identically on all instruments (if implemented). They refer to functions such as management 

    of the standardized status registers, reset and self test.

 

–  Instrument control commands

 refer to functions depending on the features of the instrument such as 

    frequency settings. Many of these commands have also been standardized by the SCPI committee. These 

    commands are marked as „SCPI compliant“ in the command reference chapters. Commands without this 

    SCPI label are device-specific, however, their syntax follows SCPI rules as permitted by the standard.

Instrument responses

Instrument responses (response messages and service requests) are messages which the instrument is sent to the 
controller after a query. They can contain measurement results, instrument settings and information on the instrument 
status.

GPIB Interface Messages

Interface messages are transmitted to the instrument on the data lines, with the attention line (ATN) being active 
(LOW). They are used for communication between the controller and the instrument and can only be sent by a compu-
ter which has the function of a GPIB bus controller. GPIB interface messages can be further subdivided into:

–  Universal commands:

 act on all instruments connected to the GPIB bus without previous addressing

–  Addressed commands:

 only act on instruments previously addressed as listeners

Universal Commands

Universal commands are encoded in the range 10 through 1F hex. They affect all instruments connected to the bus 
and do not require addressing.

Addressed commands are encoded in the range 00 through 0F hex. They only affect instruments addressed as  
listeners.
