17-2 SCPI Reference Tables
General notes
• Brackets ([ ]) are used to denote optional character sets. These optional characters do not
have to be included in the program message. Do not use brackets in the program
message.
• Angle brackets (< >) are used to indicate parameter type. Do not use angle brackets in
the program message.
• The Boolean parameter (<b>) is used to enable or disable an instrument operation. 1 or
ON enables the operation, and 0 or OFF disables the operation.
• Upper case characters indicated the short-form version for each command word.
• Default parameter — Listed parameters are both the *RST and SYSTem:PRESet
defaults, unless noted otherwise. Parameter notes are located at the end of each table.
• Ref — Refers you to the section (Sec) that provides operation information for that com-
mand or command subsystem.
• SCPI — A checkmark (√) indicates that the command and its parameters are SCPI con-
firmed. An unmarked command indicates that it is a SCPI command, but does not con-
form to the SCPI standard set of commands. It is not a recognized command by the SCPI
consortium. SCPI confirmed commands that use one or more non-SCPI parameters are
explained by notes.
