11 Remote Control Commands
In the following, all remote-control commands are presented in detail with their param-
eters and the ranges of numerical values.
Conventions used in SCPI command descriptions
Note the following conventions used in the remote command descriptions:
●
Command usage
If not specified otherwise, commands can be used both for setting and for querying
parameters.
If a command can be used for setting or querying only, or if it initiates an event, the
usage is stated explicitly.
●
Parameter usage
If not specified otherwise, a parameter can be used to set a value and it is the
result of a query.
Parameters required only for setting are indicated as
Setting parameters
.
Parameters required only to refine a query are indicated as
Query parameters
.
Parameters that are only returned as the result of a query are indicated as
Return
values
.
●
Conformity
Commands that are taken from the SCPI standard are indicated as
SCPI con-
firmed
. All commands used by the R&S
SGT follow the SCPI syntax rules.
●
Asynchronous commands
A command which does not automatically finish executing before the next com-
mand starts executing (overlapping command) is indicated as an
Asynchronous
command
.
●
Reset values (*RST)
Default parameter values that are used directly after resetting the instrument (
*RST
command) are indicated as
*RST
values, if available.
●
Default unit
This is the unit used for numeric values if no other unit is provided with the parame-
ter.
●
Manual operation
If the result of a remote command can also be achieved in manual operation, a link
to the description is inserted.
