Interpreting the Command Tables
The headings for the tables in the Remote Commands section starting on
page F–8 are defined in the following subsections.
This column lists the command string, consisting of the command keywords,
separated by colons (:), and possible command arguments. The table uses the
general SCPI conventions for short and long forms, optional keywords, and
listing parameters (see Appendix B: Remote Control).
This column gives the limits of the argument, if any, to the command or which
will be returned by the query. If a command has an associated query and the
range of values returned by the query is the same as the range accepted by the
command (the usual case), no values will be indicated for the query. If the values
returned by the query are different or if there is only a query for the function, the
possible return values are indicated under the Values heading for the query.
The argument equivalent to the value the command will have after reset (or after
an “xxxx[:SETTings]:DEFault” command affecting the value) is underlined as
follows:
H
If the arguments are character arguments, the underlining is done in the
Command column.
H
If the arguments are numeric, the underlining is done in the Values column.
H
If necessary, an intermediate value will be included in the Values column.
(For example, assume that a command has possible argument values of
–10.0 to 20.0. The default value is underlined. With a default of –10.0, the
range is indicated as –10.0 to 20.0. With a default of 0.0, the range is
indicated as –10.0 to 0.0 to 20.0.)
H
The precision of an argument is equal to the the unit value of the least
significant digit of an argument. For example, the precision of an argument
with a range of 0 to 999 is 1; the precision of an argument with a range of
0.000 to 0.999 is 0.001.
MAXimum and MINimum Parameters.
Commands that accept numeric parameters
can also accept the special character parameters “MAXimum” and “MINimum.”
These arguments set the value of the command item to the upper or the lower
limits of the range accepted by the instrument. Such a command also has
associated queries for the maximum and minimum values: if the command
header is “<xxxx>,” then the queries are “<xxxx>? MAXimum” and “<xxxx>?
MINimum.” These queries give the respective ends of the range and not the
current value.
