11.1 Conventions used in SCPI command descriptions
The following conventions are used in the remote command descriptions:
●
Command usage
If not specified otherwise, commands can be used both for setting and for querying
parameters.
If a command can be used for setting or querying only, or if it initiates an event, the
usage is stated explicitly.
●
Parameter usage
If not specified otherwise, a parameter can be used to set a value and it is the
result of a query.
Parameters required only for setting are indicated as
Setting parameters .
Parameters required only to refine a query are indicated as Query parameters .
Parameters that are only returned as the result of a query are indicated as Return
values .
●
Conformity
Commands that are taken from the SCPI standard are indicated as SCPI con-
firmed . All commands used by the R&S ZNL/ZNLE follow the SCPI syntax rules.
●
Asynchronous commands
A command which does not automatically finish executing before the next com-
mand starts executing (overlapping command) is indicated as an
Asynchronous
command .
●
Reset values (*RST)
Default parameter values that are used directly after resetting the instrument (
*RST
command) are indicated as *RST values, if available.
●
Default unit
The default unit is used for numeric values if no other unit is provided with the
parameter.
