General notes
ï‚· 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.
ï‚· Angle brackets (< >) are used to indicate parameter type. Do not use angle brackets in the
program message.
ï‚· 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.
ï‚· Upper case characters indicate the short-form version for each command word.
ï‚· 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.
 SCPI: A check mark () indicates that the command and its parameters are
SCPI-confirmed. An unmarked command indicates that it is non-SCPI. SCPI-confirmed
commands that use one or more non-SCPI parameters are explained by notes.
