Features not available in one of the language modes is marked by a horizontal line in the corresponding column. In the interest of brevity all SCPI commands have been listed in their most concise form.

For a complete and comprehensive listing of the synthesizer SCPI commands refer to “SCPI Command Summary,” in Chapter 2. For explanations of SCPI refer to “Getting Started Programming,” in Chapter 1.

Numeric Suffixes

Numeric suffixes consist of 2 or 3-character codes that terminate and scale an associated value. The numeric suffixes for network analyzer language on the HP 8360 series and the HP 8340/8341 are identical. Table 3-7 lists the HP 8360 series suffixes. The default unit for each type of suffix is shown in bold type.

Status Bytes

There are two separate and distinct status structures within the HP 8360, series depending on the HP-IB language selected. When network analyzer language is selected, the status structure utilized is structurally and syntactically the same as on the HP 8340/8341. This greatly enhances programming compatibility between existing HP 8340/8341 programs and network analyzer programs converted or written for the HP 8360 series.

In the SCPI language mode, the status structure is defined by the SCPI status system. All SCPI instruments implement status registers in the same fashion.

For more information on the status registers consult “Analyzer Status Register” and “SCPI Status Register,” in Chapter 2.
