Parameter Types. The following table contains explanations and examples of
parameter types you might see later in this chapter.
Parameter
Type
Numeric Accepts all commonly used decimal representations of numbers
including optional signs, decimal points, and scientific notation.
123, 123E2, -123, -1.23E2, .123, 1.23E-2, 1.23000E-01. Special
cases include MIN, MAX, and INF.
Boolean Represents a single binary condition that is either true or false.
ON, OFF, 1, 0.
Discrete Selects from a finite number of values. These parameters use
mnemonics to represent each valid setting.
An example is the TRIGger:SOURce <
where
Optional Parameters. Parameters shown within square brackets ([ ]) are optional
parameters. (Note that 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>]
specifying a parameter, the present
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.
Linking IEEE 488.2 Common Commands with SCPI Commands. Use a
semicolon between the commands. For example:
or
*RST;OUTP ON
Linking Multiple SCPI Commands. Use both a semicolon and a colon between the
commands. For example:
ARM COUN 1;:TRIG:SOUR EXT
