				SCPI Commands Quick Reference

Command				Description

ABORt				Abort a scan in progress.

ARM	:COUNt <number>			Multiple scans per INIT command.
	:COUNt? [MIN MAX]			Query number of scans.

DISPlay	:MONitor[:STATe] <boolean>			Selects monitor mode.
	:MONitor:CARD <number>AUTO			Selects module to be monitored.

INITiate	:CONTinuous ON OFF			Enables/disables continuous scanning.
	:CONTinuous?			Query continuous scan state.
	[:IMMediate]			Starts a scanning cycle.

OUTPut	[:STATe] ON OFF			Enables/disables "Trig Out" pulse.
	[:STATe]?			Query port enable state.

[ROUTe:]	CLOSe <channel_list>			Close channel(s).
	CLOSe? <channel_list>			Query channel(s) closed.
	OPEN <channel_list>			Open channel(s).
	OPEN? <channel_list>			Query channel(s) opened.
	SCAN <channel_list>			Define channels for scanning.
	SCAN:MODE NONE VOLT			Sets scan mode.
		RES FRES		Sets scan mode.

STATus	:OPERation[:EVENt]?			Returns status of Operation Status register.
	:OPERation:ENABle			Enables the Operation Status register to set a bit in the Status register.

SYSTem	:ERRor?			Returns error number/message in a switchbox Error Queue.
	:CDEScription? <number>.			Returns description of module in a switchbox
	:CTYPe? <number>			Returns the module type.
	:CPON <number>ALL			Sets specified module to its power-on state.

TRIGger	[:IMMediate]			Causes a trigger to occur.
	:SOURce BUS			Trigger source is *TRG.
	:SOURce EXTernal			Trigger source is "Event In".
	:SOURce HOLD			Hold off triggering.
	:SOURce IMMediate			Continuous (internal) triggers.
	:SOURce?			Query scan trigger source.

			IEEE 488.2 Common Commands Quick Reference

Command		Title	Description

*RST		Reset	Opens all channels, and invalidates current channel list for scanning. Sets
			ARM:COUN 1, TRIG:SOUR IMM, and INIT:CONT OFF.

*TRG		Bus Trigger	When scan is enabled and trigger source is TRIG:SOUR BUS, use the
			*TRG command to trigger the switchbox to advance the scan.

*TST?		Self-Test	Always returns 0.
