SCPI Command Summary

SCPI Command Summary

This section summarizes the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) commands available to program the power supply over the remote interface. Refer to the later sections in this chapter for more complete details on each command.

Throughout this manual, the following conventions are used for SCPI command syntax.

•Square brackets ([ ]) indicate optional keywords or parameters.

•Braces ({ }) enclose parameters within a command string.

•Triangle brackets (< >) indicate that you must substitute a value or a code for the enclosed parameter.

•A vertical bar ( ) separates one of two or more alternative parameters.
