SCPI Command Reference 4-3
TRIG:INT:RATE 5e-3
Use the colon and semicolon to link commands from different
subsystems. For example, in the following command string, an error is
generated if both the colon and the semicolon are not used.
OUTP:STATE ON;:TRIG:STAT ON
The MIN and MAX
Parameters
Substitute MINimum or MAXimum in place of a parameter for some
commands. For example, consider the following command:
FREQuency {<frequency>|MINimum|MAXimum}
Instead of selecting a specific frequency, substitute MIN to set the
frequency to its minimum value or MAX to set the frequency to its
maximum value.
Querying Parameter
Setting
Query the current value of most parameters by adding a question mark
( ? ) to the command. For example, the following command sets the
output function to square:
SOUR:FUNC:SHAP SQR
Query the output function by executing:
SOUR:FUNC:SHAP?
Query Response
Format
The response to a query depends on the format of the command. In
general, a response to a query contains current values or settings of
the generator. Commands that set values can be queried for their
current value. Commands that set modes of operation can be queried
for their current mode. IEEE-STD-488.2 common queries generate
responses, which are common to all IEEE-STD-488.2 compatible
instruments.
