10.3 Using Queries
Observe the following precautions with queries:
•
Set up the proper number of variables for the returned data.
•
Read back all the results of a query before sending another command to the power supply .
Otherwise a Query Error will occur and the non-returned data will be lost.
10.4 Structure of a SCPI Message
SCPI messages consist of one or more message units ending in a message terminator. The
terminator is not part of the syntax, but implicit in the way your programming language indicates the
end of a line (such as a newline or end-of-line character).
The Message Unit
The simplest SCPI command is a single message unit consisting of a command header (or keyword)
followed by a message terminator.
CURRent?<newline>
VOLTage?<newline>
The message unit may include a parameter after the header. The parameter usually is numeric:
VOLTage 20<newline>
OUTPut 1<newline>
Combining Message Units
The following command message is briefly described here, with details in subsequent paragraphs.
