Introduction
This chapter describes the SCPI Subsystem commands and the
IEEE 488.2 Common Commands for the HP 53150A/151A/152A
Microwave Frequency Counters. The information in this chapter is
intended to help you program the Counter over its HP-IB or RS-232 serial
interface.
The commands are presented in alphabetical order.
• SCPI Subsystem commands are described on pages 4-4
through 4-43.
• IEEE 488.2 Common command descriptions start on page 4-44.
• A description of the Group Execute Trigger command is also
included on page 4-7.
For each command description:
• Where the phrase “Sets or queries” is used, the command setting
can be queried by omitting the parameter and appending a “?” to
the last command keyword.
• For example,
:ROSC:SOUR INT | EXT
can be queried with
:ROSC:SOUR?
• Unless otherwise noted, a command described as an event cannot
be queried.
• Unless otherwise noted, the command setting is affected by
*SAV/*RCL.
• The square brackets, [ ], are used to indicate that the element(s)
within the brackets are optional. Note, the brackets are NOT part
of the command and should not be sent to the Counter.
• The vertical bar, |, is used to mean “OR” and is used to separate
alternative options.
