Overview of Commands
The information that is transferred between the controller (the PC) and the product is referred to as
mes-
sages

This product uses the SCPI language for these messages. The messages that the PC sends to the prod-
uct are commands. The messages that the product sends to the PC are responses.
Command hierarchy
SCPI is an ASCII-based command language that was designed for test and measuring equipment. The
command structure is composed of the common roots and nodes that are the building blocks of the SCPI
subsystem. A command consists of a program header, parameters, and punctuation marks.
Nodes have the following hierarchy.
A colon (:) separates a higher node from a lower node.
Command Syntax
In this manual, SCPI commands are expressed in the following format.
:SENSe:AVERage:STATe <bool>
:SENSe:JUDGment:RESistance:STATe {BOTH|OFF|UPPer|LOWer}
:INITiate[:IMMediate]
Basic Notation
• You can use long form and short form.
Long form: SCPI commands are written with all the characters.
