Command
Format
SCPI is an ASCII based command language
designed for test and measurement instruments.
SCPI commands uses a hierarchical structure (tree
system), and is divided into different subsystems.
Each subsystem is defined by a different root
keyword. Each command consists of a root
keyword and one or more hierarchical key words
separated by a colon “:” and followed by a
parameter. There is always a space between the
keywords and the parameters. Any commands
followed by a question mark (?) are queries.
Example :SYSTem:BEEPer:STATe {0|1|OFF|ON}
:SYSTem:BEEPer:STATe?
SYSTem is the root level keyword and BEEPer
and STATe are the secondary and tertiary level
keywords. All levels have a “:” separating each
keyword. Parameters are enclosed in “{ }”.
The commands SYSTem:BEEPer:STATe has
{0|1|OFF|ON } as parameters. The parameters
are separated with a space.
SYSTem:BEEPer:STATe? indicates that the
command is a query.
In addition some commands have multiple
parameters that are usually separated by a comma
“,”.
Example :STATus:QUEue:ENABle (-110:-222, -220).
