MTX100 MPEG Recorder & Player User Manual
For example, RECord:TARGet:TYPE DISK is a valid SCPI command created
from the hierarchy tree in Figure 3-28.
To create a query, start at the root node of a tree structure, move down to the end
of a branch, and add a question mark. RECord:TARGet:TYPE? is an example of
a valid SCPI query using the hierarchy tree in Figure 3-28.
Every parameter in the command and query descriptions is of a specified type.
The parameters are enclosed in brackets, such as <pattern>. The parameter type
is listed after the parameter and is enclosed in parentheses, for example,
(discrete). Some parameter types are defined specifically for the MTX100
command set and some are defined by ANSI/IEEE 488.2-1987 (see Table 3-25).
