Model 2400 to Model 2461 SCPI command cross-reference .. D-6

Introduction

This section provides information about converting existing Series 2400 SCPI code to Model 2461

SCPI code.

You must use the command set SCPI to use the new commands. See Determining the command set

you will use (on page 2-80) for information about setting the command set.

This section lists the SCPI commands that were available with the Model 2400. If there is an

equivalent command in the Model 2461, a cross-reference to that command is provided if one is

available. Differences between the commands are noted. If no differences are noted, the command

should operate the same on the Model 2461 as it did in the Model 2400.

Significant differences

This topic describes some of the more significant differences between the Series 2400 and Model

2461 commands.

Acquiring readings

The commands that you use to acquire readings have changed in the Model 2461.

When you make measurements, the Model 2461 allows you to select the buffer in which to store data

and the buffer elements that should be stored. This change affects the FETCh?, READ?, and

MEASure? commands.

In the Model 2461, the :FORMat:ELEMents[:SENSe[1]] command is no longer available. Instead,

you specify the format elements as part of the READ?, FETCh?, MEASure?, and TRACe:DATA?

commands. The format elements are specified with each use of the command instead of using a

global setting for all commands. The elements can be unique for each command and can be unique

each time the command is processed.
