SCPI Command Reference
This section describes the Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments (SCPI) commands for the E1465A, E1466A, and E1467A Relay
Matrix Switch Modules. Commands are listed alphabetically by subsystem
and within each subsystem.
Type Explanations and Examples
Boolean Represents a single binary condition that is either true or
false (ON, OFF, 1.0). Any non-zero value is considered
true.
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 ARM:COUNt? [<MIN | MAX>]
command. If you send the command without specifying a
parameter, the present ARM:COUNt value is returned. If
you send the MIN parameter, the command returns the
minimum count available. If you send the MAX parameter,
the command returns the maximum count available. Be
sure to place a space between the command and the
parameter.
