Introduction to the SCPI Language
SCPI, also known as Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments, defines
how you communicate with an instrument from a bus controller. The SCPI
language uses a hierarchical structure similar to the file systems used by many
bus controllers. The command tree is organized with root-level commands (also
called subsystems) positioned at the top, with multiple levels below each
root-level command. You must specify the complete path to execute the
individual lower-level commands.

Hierarchical structure of SCPI
Mnemonic forms
Each keyword has both a long and a short form. A standard notation is used to
differentiate the short-form keyword from the long-form keyword. The long form
of the keyword is shown, with the short-form portion shown in upper-case
characters, and the rest of the keyword shown in lower-case characters. For
example, the short form of
AVERage
is
AVER
.
Using a colon (:)
When a colon is the first character of a command keyword, it indicates that the
next command mnemonic is a root-level command. When a colon is inserted
between two command mnemonics, the colon moves the path down one level in
the present path (for the specified root-level command) of the command tree. You
must
separate command mnemonics from each other using a colon.
You can omit
the leading colon if the command is the first of a new program line.
