5071A Command Summary
This section summarizes both the IEEE 488.2 Common and 5071A SCPI
(Standardized Commands for Programmable Instruments) commands in tabular
format. IEEE 488.2 commands appear first followed by SCPI commands. The
SCPI commands used in this instrument are in conformance with the SCPI
Standard Version 1990.0. The SCPI command set consists of the following:
• Common commands as defined in IEEE 488.2-1987.
• Subsystem commands as confirmed (and listed) in the SCPI Standard. These
are the commands defined in Table 5-2 as Std.
• Subsystem commands designed for the instrument in conformance with SCPI
Standards but not yet listed in the SCPI Standard. These are the commands
defined in Table 5-2 as New.
The IEEE 488.2 commands are summarized first (Table 5-1) followed by SCPI
commands (Table 5-2). Details of all 5071A SCPI commands can be found in the
SCPI Subsystem Commands section following the SCPI Command summary.
The SCPI command format, syntax, parameter and response types, and Common
command formats are explained in Chapter 4 following the programming
overview.
IEEE 488.2 Common Commands
Table 5-1 lists Common commands by mnemonic, name and function. More
information concerning the operation of IEEE 488.2 status reporting commands
and structure can be found in the Status Registers section of this chapter
following the SCPI Subsystem Command descriptions. Detailed explanations of
the 5071A Common Commands can be found in ANSI/IEEE Std. 488.2-1987,
IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols and Common Commands.
