Program Header Options

Remote Operation

Programming Syntax

Example *CLS is an example of a common command header.

Program Header Options

*CLS; ROUTE:DRIVE:ON (@100,102,104,106,....);

Common commands used by the switch driver are explained in more detail in the “Common Command Reference” later in this chapter.

Program headers can be sent using any combination of uppercase or lowercase ASCII characters.

Both program command and query headers may be sent in either longform (complete spelling), shortform (abbreviated spelling), or any combination of longform and shortform.

NOTE	ONLY the longform or shortform of a command will be accepted by the
	switch driver. Either of the following examples read out the firmware
	datecode:
	SYSTEM:VERSION? – longform
	SYST:VERS? – shortform

Program Data

❍Programs written in longform are easy to read and are almost self-documenting.

❍The shortform syntax conserves the amount of controller memory needed for program storage and reduces the amount of I/O activity. The shortform abbreviation is given for each command in the section “SCPI Command Reference” on page 4-26.

Program data is used to convey a variety of types of parameter information related to the command header. At least one space must separate the command header or query header from the program data.

<program mnemonic><separator><data><terminator>

When a program mnemonic or query has multiple data parameters, a comma separates sequential program data.

Example <program mnemonic><separator><data>,<data><terminator>
