Front Panel to SCPI Command Map
Figures 2-1 and 2-2 are command maps that shows the relationships
between the front-panel keys and the SCPI commands. This map should
help you to identify commands, if you are already familiar with the front
panel.
Some SCPI Syntax Conventions:
[ ] An element inside brackets is optional. Note, the
brackets are not part of the command and should not
be sent to the Counter.
1 | 2 Means use either 1 or 2.
<numeric_value> Means enter a number.
SENSe Means you must use either all the upper case letters or
the entire word. The lower case letters are optional. For
example, SENS and SENSE are both valid. However,
SEN is not valid. (Note SENSe is used here as an
example, but this convention applies to all SCPI
commands.)
NOTE When you see quotation marks in a command’s parameter (shown in the
Parameter Form column in Table 2-2), you must send the quotation marks
with the command. Refer to the section titled “Using HP BASIC” on
page 3-54 of this guide for details on how to use double quotes or single
quotes to enclose the string parameter of a command.
