Keysight 8990B Programming Guide

SCPI data types

The SCPI language defines different data formats for use in program messages

and response messages. Instruments are flexible listeners and can accept

commands and parameters in various formats. However, SCPI instruments are

precise talkers. This means that SCPI instruments

always

respond to a particular

query in a predefined, rigid format.

<boolean> definition

Throughout this document,

is used to represent

ON|OFF|<NRf>

Boolean parameters have a value of 0 or 1 and are unitless.

corresponds to

and

OFF

corresponds to

On input, an

<NRf>

is rounded to an integer. A nonzero result is interpreted as

Queries always return a

, never

OFF

<character_data> definition

Throughout this document,

<character_data>

is used to represent character

data, that is, A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, and _ (underscore). HIGH and R6_5F are

examples of character data. The first character must be an alphanumeric,

followed by either alphanumeric or underscore characters up to a maximum of 12

characters. The format is defined as shown in the following figure.

Figure 1-2

<character_data> format

<NAN> definition

Not a number (NAN) is represented as 9.91E37. Not a number is defined in IEEE

754.
