E-2 IEEE-488 and SCPI Conformance Information Model 6487 Reference Manual
Introduction
The IEEE-488.2 standard requires specific information about how the Model 6487 imple-
ments the standard. Paragraph 4.9 of the IEEE-488.2 standard (Std 488.2-1987) lists the
documentation requirements.
Table E-1 provides a summary of the requirements and pro-
vides the information or references the manual for that information. Table E-2 lists the
coupled commands used by the Model 6487.
The Model 6487 complies with SCPI version 1996.0. Table 14-1 through Table 14-9 list
the SCPI confirmed commands and the non-SCPI commands implemented by the
Model 6487.
