Introduction

This section gives the syntax and parameters for all the IEEE 488.2 SCPI commands and the Common commands used by the ac sources when operating in Normal mode. It is assumed that you are familiar with the material in Chapter 2 "Introduction to Programming". Because the SCPI syntax remains the same for all programming languages, the examples given for each command are generic.

Order of Presentation

Syntax definitions use the long form, but only short form headers (or "keywords") appear in the examples. Use the long form to help make your program self- documenting.

Most commands require a parameter and all queries will return a parameter.The range for a parameter may vary according to the model of ac source. Parameters for all models are listed in the Specifications table in the User’s Guide.

If a command only applies to specific models, those models are listed in the <Model> Only entry. If there is no <Model> Only entry, the command applies to all models.

If a command can apply to individual phases of an , the entry Phase Selectable will appear in the command description.

Where appropriate, related commands or queries are included. These are listed because they are either directly related by function, or because reading about them will clarify or enhance your understanding of the original command or query.

The dictionary is organized as follows:

υSubsystem commands, arranged by subsystem

υIEEE 488.2 common commands
