Reference Documentation
This section contains a list of documentation related to the use of the
Receiver’s RS-232C serial port. Additional information that you may
find useful can be found in the following publications:
1. Beginner’s Guide to SCPI (HP Part Number H2325-90001,
July 1990 Edition).
2. Beginner’s Guide to SCPI, Barry Eppler (Hewlett-Packard
Press, Addison-Wesley Publishing Co. 1991).
3. Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments
(SCPI), Version 1992.0.
This standard is a guide for the selection of messages to be included
in programmable instrumentation. It is primarily intended for
instrument firmware engineers. However, you may find it useful if
you are programming more than one instrument that claims
conformance to the SCPI standard. You can verify the use of
standard SCPI commands in different instruments.

4. The International Institute of Electrical Engineers and
Electronic Engineers, IEEE Standard 488.2-1987, IEEE
Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols, and Common
Commands for Use with ANSI/IEEE Std 488.1-1987
Programmable Instrumentation.
This standard defines the underlying message formats and data
types used in SCPI. It is intended more for firmware engineers
than for instrument users/programmers. However, it can be useful
if you need to know the precise definition of specific message
formats, data type, or common commands.
