The command format and protocol used by the millisKanner is based on the SCPI
(Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) standard. This was developed to
provide a consistent command language for all types of programmable instruments. The
objective was to reduce the development time required by users of these instruments by
providing a consistent programming environment through the use of defined messages,
instrument responses and data formats. Further information on SCPI can be obtained
from the SCPI Consortium (
