SCPI Command Reference 4-2
Part of the OUTPut subsystem is shown below to illustrate the tree
system:
OUTPut
:FILTer
[:LPASs]
:FREQuency {20MHz|25MHz|50MHz}
[:STATe] OFF|ON
[:STATe] OFF|ON
OUTPut is the root keyword of the command; FILTer and STATe
are second level keywords. FREQuency and STATe are third level
keywords. A colon ( : ) separates a command keyword from a
lower level keyword.
Command Format
The format used to show commands in this manual is shown
below:
FREQuency {<frequency>|MINimum|MAXimum}
The command syntax shows most commands (and some
parameters) as a mixture of upper and lowercase letters. The
uppercase letters indicate the abbreviated spelling for the
command. For shorter program lines, send the abbreviated form.
For better program readability, send the long form.
For example, in the above syntax statement, FREQ and
FREQUENCY are both acceptable forms. Use upper or lowercase
letters. Therefore, FREQ, FREQUENCY, freq, and Freq are all
acceptable. Other forms such as FRE and FREQUEN will generate
an error.
The above syntax statement shows the frequency parameter
enclosed in triangular brackets. The brackets are not sent with the
command string. A value for the frequency parameter (such as
"FREQ 50e+6”) must be specified.
Some parameters are enclosed in square brackets ([]). The
brackets indicate that the parameter is optional and can be
omitted. The brackets are not sent with the command string. If an
optional parameter is not specified, the synthesizer uses a default
value.
Command
Separator
A colon ( : ) is used to separate a command keyword from a lower
level keyword as shown below:
SOUR:FUNC:SHAP SIN
