Agilent Technologies E1563A, E1564A user manual Scpi Command Reference

Discrete	Selects from a finite number of values. These parameters
	use mnemonics to represent each valid setting. An
	example is the TRIGger:SOURce <source> command
	where <source> can be BUS, EXTernal, HOLD,
	IMMediate, or TTLTrgn.
Numeric	Commonly used decimal representations of numbers
	including optional signs, decimal points, and scientific
	notation. Examples are 123, 123E2, -123, -1.23E2, .123,
	1.23E-2, 1.23000E-01. Special cases include MINimum,
	MAXimum, DEFault and INFinity.
Optional	Parameters shown within square brackets ([ ]) are optional
	parameters. (The brackets are not part of the command
	and are not sent to the instrument.) If you do not specify a
	value for an optional parameter, the instrument chooses a
	default value.
	For example, consider the TRIGger:LEVel<chan>?
	[MIN MAX] command. If you send the command without
	specifying a MINimum or MAXimum parameter, the
	present TRIGger:LEVel value is returned for the specified
	channel. If you send the MIN parameter, the command
	returns the minimum trigger level allowable. If you send the
	MAX parameter, the command returns the maximum
	trigger level allowable. Be sure to place a space between
	the command and the parameter.

Linking Commands Linking IEEE 488.2 Common Commands with SCPI Commands.

Use only a semicolon between the commands, such as *RST;OUTP:

TTLT4 ON or SAMP:COUNt 25;*WAI.

Linking Multiple SCPI Commands From the Same Subsystem. Use only a semicolon between commands within the same subsystem. For example, to set trigger level, trigger slope and the trigger source which are all set using the TRIGger subsystem, send the SCPI string TRIG:LEVel 1.5; SLOPe NEG; SOURce EXT.

Linking Multiple SCPI Commands of Different Subsystems. Use both a semicolon and a colon between commands of different subsystems. For example, a SAMPle and OUTPut command can be sent in the same SCPI string linked with a semicolon and colon (;:) as SAMP:COUNt 10;:

OUTP:TTLT4 ON
