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.
