Programming Fundamentals

Parameters in Commands

<angle>  

An angle parameter is a rational number followed by optional 
units. The default units are degrees. Acceptable units include: 
DEG, RAD.

<file_name>  

A file name parameter is the name of your file including the full 
path. The back slash that follows the drive colon (C:\), usually 
used in computer paths, is not used in the SCPI command string.

<freq>  

A frequency parameter is a positive rational number followed by 
optional units. The default unit is Hz. Acceptable units include: 
Hz, kHz, MHz, GHz.

<integer>  

There are no units associated with an integer parameter.

<number>  

A number parameter is a member of the set of positive or 
negative intriguers and including zero. Fractional numbers are 
included in the number parameter. There are no units associated 
with a number parameter.

<percent>  

A percent parameter is a rational number between 0 and 100, 
with no units.

<rel_power>  

A relative power parameter is a positive rational number 
followed by optional units. The default units are dB. Acceptable 
units are dB only.

<string>  

A string parameter includes a series of alpha numeric characters.

<time>  

A time parameter is a rational number followed by optional 
units. The default units are seconds. Acceptable units include: S, 
MS, US.

Block Program Data

Definite length arbitrary block response data is defined in section 8.7.9.2 of IEEE 
Standard 488.2-1992, 

IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols and Common 

Commands for Use with ANSI/IEEE Std 488.1-1987

. New York, NY, 1992.

<definite_length_block>  

Allows data to be transmitted over the system 
interface as a series of 8 bit data bytes. This 
element is particularly useful for sending 
large quantities of data, 8 bit extended ASCII 
codes, or other data that are not able to be 
directly displayed.

A definite length block of data starts with an 
ASCII header that begins with # and indicates 
how many additional data points are 
following in the block. For example, if the 
header is #512320, then interpret the header 
as follows:

•

The first digit in the header (5) represents 
how many additional digits/bytes there are 
in the header.
