Command
Structure
SCPI commands follow a tree-like structure, organized into
nodes. Each level of the command tree is a node. Each
keyword in an SCPI command represents each node in the
command tree. Each keyword (node) of an SCPI command is
separated by a colon (:).
For example, the diagram below shows an SCPI sub-structure
and a command example.
