5.2 CONVENTIONS
1.
COMMANDS are shown in the left hand column in
BOLD,
beginning with an asterisk (
*
) or
colon (
:
) text with NO underline.
2.
Command DESCRIPTIONS appear in the right hand column.
3.
SCPI is "Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments -1992". Refer to the SCPI 1992
standard for more information. The full standard publication is available from:
SCPI Consortium, 8380 Hercules Dr. Suite P3, La Mesa Ca. 91942.
(http://www.scpiconsortium.org)
4.
Some SCPI keywords are optional, and are ignored by the device. Optional keywords are
enclosed in
[ ]
brackets.
5.
Lowercase letters of commands shown are also optional.
6.
The SCPI 1992 standard requires uppercase text in all SCPI commands (start with
:
), however,
the UPC is not case sensitive and will accept commands sent in lower case. It is recommended
that programming formats follow the SCPI standard.
7.
All SCPI commands have query command counterparts unless noted. A query command
consists of the command immediately appended with a question mark (
?
). Values cannot be
sent with a query. IEEE-488.2 commands do not have query counterparts unless explicitly
shown with a question mark appended.
8.
IEEE-488.2 commands start with an asterisk (
*
) and are not case sensitive.
9.
All required Functional Elements for devices are implemented. Refer to IEEE-488.2 section
4.4.1 for more information.
10.
Refer to the ANSI/IEEE-488.1 1987 and ANSI/IEEE-488.2 1987 standards for more information.
These standards are available from:
IEEE Standards Board, 445 Hoes Ln. PO Box 1331 Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331.
11.
Voltage and Waveform parameter names without a channel number suffix (1,2,3) may be used
to set all 3 channels (phases) simultaneously, as an alternative to setting each separately to the
same value.
12.
All numerical values are ASCII encoded decimal strings consisting of 1 or more ASCII digits. 8
and 15 bit register values are binary weighted values represented by an ASCII string of 1 or
more decimal digits. One exception, the Serial Poll byte, is an 8 bit hexadecimal byte.
13.
Multiple Commands and Queries may be sent in one Program Message but each must be
separated by a semicolon (
;
). The term 'Program Message' refers to 1 or more commands
and/or queries sent to the UPC as one continuous string and is not to be confused with Stored
Programs (1-99) within the UPC.
