SCPI Command Hierarchy

SCPI is an ASCII-based command language designed for use in test and measurement equipment. The command structure is organized around A common roots, or nodes, which are the building blocks of SCPI

subsystems. An example of a common root is CALibration, and some of the commands that reside in the CALibration subsystem are:

[:]CALibration

[:OUTPut]

[:VOLTage] [:DATA] <NR1>

:CURRent [:DATA] <NR1>

CALibration is the root keyword of the command. OUTPut is a second- level keyword, and VOLTage and DATA are third-level keywords. A colon (:) is used to separate a command keyword from a lower-level keyword.
