3. Depending on the selected format, convert the script as described in Chap-
ter 10.9.5, "How to convert and save SCPI lists" , on page 234
4. Enter a filename.
5. Select "Export".
The instrument writes all SCPI commands of the key parameters and the modified
settings in the file. Also assigns the file extension automatically according to the
source code format.
6. To preview the content of the SCPI list:
a) Select "System Config > Save/Recall".
b) Select "Operation Mode > SCPI-Export".
c) In the
/var/user/
directory, select a previously saved file.
d) Select "Show SCPI List".
The list of all SCPI commands is displayed, for example, for a final check.
Exporting the SCPI list of the instrument state in one step is a fast and convenient
method. Nevertheless, it usually requires postprocessing on an external PC.
How to check a SCPI list
The easiest way to check a list, is to execute it. The generator returns a warning if a
setting could not be performed.
However, we recommend that you check the list and possibly rework. It can be that ...
●
A parameter has not assigned a SCPI command or an element of the user inter-
face has not an assigned parameter. In these cases,
:SYST:INF:SCPI 'SCPI
command not available'
is entered in the list instead.
Such entries are also detected during execution. The instrument recognizes these
incomplete commands and displays an error message.
●
A preset has been executed, but several standards then perform some internal set-
tings that are also assigned to the list with "SCPI Export".
●
After a preset still some settings are defined, which are then written to the list gen-
erated with "SCPI Export."
Some suggestions on how you can check and revise a list:
1. Search and remove missing command entries.
2. Remove unnecessary content written after a preset.
3. Rearrange the commands to a reasonable order. If you, for example, set a
STATe
command to the last position of a list, you can avoid intermediate calculations of
the signal.
4. Preview the list for completeness by comparing it with the modified settings in the
manual mode.
