Parameters in Commands

<angle>

An angle parameter is a rational number followed by optional

 

units. The default units are degrees. Acceptable units include:

 

DEG, RAD.

<file_name>

A file name parameter is the name of your file including the full

 

path. The back slash that follows the drive colon (C:\), usually

 

used in computer paths, is not used in the SCPI command string.

<freq>

A frequency parameter is a positive rational number followed by

 

optional units. The default unit is Hz. Acceptable units include:

 

Hz, kHz, MHz, GHz.

<integer>

There are no units associated with an integer parameter.

<number>

A number parameter is a member of the set of positive or

 

negative intriguers and including zero. Fractional numbers are

 

included in the number parameter. There are no units associated

 

with a number parameter.

<percent>

A percent parameter is a rational number between 0 and 100,

 

with no units.

<rel_power>

A relative power parameter is a positive rational number

 

followed by optional units. The default units are dB. Acceptable

 

units are dB only.

<string>

A string parameter includes a series of alpha numeric characters.

<time>

A time parameter is a rational number followed by optional

 

units. The default units are seconds. Acceptable units include: S,

 

MS, US.

Block Program Data

Definite length arbitrary block response data is defined in section 8.7.9.2 of IEEE Standard 488.2-1992, IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols and Common Commands for Use with ANSI/IEEE Std 488.1-1987. New York, NY, 1992.

<definite_length_block>

Allows data to be transmitted over the system

 

interface as a series of 8 bit data bytes. This

 

element is particularly useful for sending

 

large quantities of data, 8 bit extended ASCII

 

codes, or other data that are not able to be

 

directly displayed.

 

A definite length block of data starts with an

 

ASCII header that begins with # and indicates

 

how many additional data points are

 

following in the block. For example, if the

 

header is #512320, then interpret the header

 

as follows:

 

• The first digit in the header (5) represents

 

how many additional digits/bytes there are

 

in the header.
