Overview of the SCPI Command
Structure
The device commands for the Agilent 81250 System follow the rules
for SCPI Commands.
Some basic peculiarities of the command syntax used in this
programming references are described in
“Command Syntax” on
page 30
.
The overall structure of the commands is described in
“The Command
Tree” on page 32
.
A basic and a more advanced programming example using the Agilent
81250 SCPI commands are given in
“Example Programs” on page 37
.
“SCPI Commands Overview” on page 43
provides application-
oriented access to the available SCPI commands. The individual
commands are described in more detail in
“Commands in the
DVT Subsystem” on page 67
and
“Commands in DSR Application
Subsystems” on page 77
.
