SCPI Objects

The SCPI objects are created to realize the SCPI commands of the E5061A/E5062A with the COM interface. For information on the basic use of the SCPI objects, see “SCPI Objects” on page 87.

The conversion rules from the SCPI commands when writing SCPI object messages are as follows:

•SCPI. must be at the beginning. Notice that the IEEE common commands start with SCPI.IEEE4882. and "*" is omitted.

•Replace colons (:) used as the hierarchical separator symbol with dots (.).

•The number written in the object message is specified with ( ).

•You cannot omit the command message in the syntax.

SCPI command		COM object
OUTPUT 717;":SOUR1:POW -10"	→	SCPI.SOURce(1).POWer.LEVel.IMMediate.AMPLitude = -10
OUTPUT 717;":SENS1:CORR:COLL:METH:TYPE?"	→	A = SCPI.SENSe(1).CORRection.COLLect.METHod:TYPE
ENTER 717;A$
OUTPUT 717;"*CLS"	→	SCPI.IEEE4882.CLS
