Introduction to the SCPI Language

Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI), is an ASCII-based

instrument command language designed for test and measurement instruments.

SCPI commands are based on a hierarchical structure, also known as a tree

system. In this system, associated commands are grouped together under a

common node or root, thus forming subsystems. A portion of the

CONFigure

subsystem is shown below to illustrate the tree system.

CONFigure

[:VOLTage]

[:DC]

[<range|MIN|MAX|AUTO>[,<resolution|MIN|MAX|DEF>]]

:CURRent

:AC

[<range|MIN|MAX|AUTO>[,<resolution|MIN|MAX|DEF>]]

CONFigure

is the root keyword of the command,

VOLTage

and

CURRent

are

second-level keywords, and DC and AC are third-level keywords. A colon ( : )

separates a command keyword from a lower-level keyword.
