SCPI programming
SCPI programming information is integrated with front panel operation throughout this man-
ual. SCPI commands are listed in tables, and additional information that pertains exclusively to
remote operation is provided after each table. The SCPI tables may reference you to other sec-
tions of this manual.
NOTE Except for Section 17, most SCPI tables in this manual are abridged. That is, they
exclude most optional command words and query commands. Optional command
words and query commands are summarized as follows.
Optional command words — In order to be in conformance with the IEEE-488.2 standard,
Model 6514 accepts optional command words. Any command word that is enclosed in brackets
([]) is optional and does not have to be included in the program message.
Query commands — Most command words have a query form. A query command is iden-
tified by the question mark (?) that follows the command word. A query command requests (que-
ries) the programmed status of that command. When a query command is sent and Model 6514
is addressed to talk, the response message is sent to the computer.
NOTE For complete details, see “Programming Syntax” in Section 12.
