10.1
Conventions used in SCPI command descrip-
tions
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 parame-
ters
.
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
NRPM follow the SCPI syntax rules.
●
Asynchronous commands
A command which does not automatically finish executing before the next
command starts executing (overlapping command) is indicated as an
Asyn-
chronous 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.
