D-2 IEEE-488 and SCPI Conformance Information Model 6220/6221 Reference Manual
Return to Appendix topics
Introduction
The IEEE-488.2 standard requires specific information about how the Model 622x
implements the standard. Paragraph 4.9 of the IEEE-488.2 standard (Standard
488.2-1987) lists the documentation requirements. Tabl e D -1 provides a summary
of the requirements and provides the information or references the manual for that
information.
Table D -2 lists the coupled command used by the Model 622x.
The Model 622x complies with SCPI version 1996.0. The tables in Section 14 list
the SCPI confirmed commands and the non-SCPI commands implemented by the
Model 622x.

side the range 0-30.
Cannot enter an invalid address.
(3) Behavior of 622x when valid address is entered. Address changes and bus resets.

Message Exchange Options:
Input buffer size.
Queries that return more than one response
message unit.
Queries that generate a response when
parsed.
Queries that generate a response when read.
Coupled commands.
2048 bytes.

See Tabl e D -2
(6) Functional elements required for SCPI com-
mands.
Contained in SCPI command subsystems
tables (see Section 14).
(7) Buffer size limitations for block data. Block display message buffer size is 40
characters max (top line display is 20
characters, bottom line is 32 characters.
(8) Syntax restrictions. See Programming Syntax in Section 10.
(9) Response syntax for every query command. See Programming Syntax in Section 10.
(10) Device-to-device message transfer that does
not follow rules of the standard.
None.
(11) Block data response size. See Display Subsystem in Section 13.
(12) Common Commands implemented by 622x. See Common Commands in Section 12.
