Implied (Optional)
Keywords
Implied or optional keywords are those which appear in square brackets ([ ])
in the command syntax. The brackets are not part of the command, and are
not sent to the AFG. Suppose you send the following command:
ARM:COUN 100
In this case, the AFG responds as if you had executed the command as:
ARM:STARt:LAYer1:COUN 100
SCPI Command Parameters
The following information contains explanations and examples of the
parameter types found in this chapter.
Parameter Types,
Explanations, and
Examples
•
Numeric
Accepts all commonly used decimal representations of numbers
including optional signs, decimal points, and scientific notation:
123, 123E2, -123, -1.23E2, .123, 1.23E-2, 1.23000E-01.
Special cases include
MINimum
,
MAXimum
, and
INFinity
. The
Comments section within the Command Reference will state
whether a numeric parameter can also be specified in hex, octal,
and/or binary:
#H7B, #Q173, #B1111011
•
Boolean
Represents a single binary condition that is either true or false. Any
non-zero value is considered true:
ON, OFF, 1, 0
•
Discrete
Selects from a finite number of values. These parameters use
mnemonics to represent each valid setting. An example is the
ARM[:STARt]:LAYer2:SOURce <
source
>
command where source
can be
EXTernal
or
IMMediate
.
