8.5.1 Command Syntax
In this manual, SCPI commands are indicated in the following format:
MEASure[:SCALar]:CURRent:AC?
Each SCPI command has an abbreviated form. The abbreviated (short) form is the
uppercase string of each SCPI command coded in this manual.
SCPI commands can be sent in either the long form or short form. Because the SCPI
commands are not case sensitive, CURR, Curr, and curr are all accepted as a short
form of CURRent. Long forms CURRENT, Current, and current are all accepted.
• Space must be inserted between the program header part and parameter part.
• When two or more parameters are used, join them with a comma (,).
• Join commands with a semicolon (;) (compound command).
HARMonic:STANdard ”JIS:2005:ED20”;CLASs ”C”
Root node HARMonic is omitted from the second command. This is because
HARMonic:STANdard “JIS:2005:ED20” of the first command specifies the
HARMonic path.
This compound command means the same as the following commands:
HARMonic:STANdard ”JIS:2005:ED20”
HARMonic:CLASs ”C”
An error results if a node that is not defined for the current path is specified.
Colons and semicolons can be used together to connect commands in different
subsystems.
SENSe:CURRent:RANGe Maximum;:INITiate
This compound command includes two root nodes SENSe and INITiate. When
the second or subsequent command begins with a colon, the path specified by the
previous command is cleared.
• Up to 255 bytes of characters can be sent on one line.
Special symbols
The special symbols used to code SCPI commands in this manual are defined as
follows:
• Characters or numbers delimited by “|” in {} means that one of them should be
selected.
Do not include {} in the actual programs.
• <> indicates program data.
Do not include <> in the actual programs.
• [] indicates optional data.
If it is not sent with the program, the default value is used.
Do not include [] in the actual programs.
