Syntax for Device-Specific Commands
For demonstration purposes only, assume the existence of the following commands for
this section:
●
MEASure:CURRent[:DC]?
●
MEASure:VOLTage[:DC]?
●
FUSE[:STATe] {0 | 1}
●

Long and short form
The mnemonics feature a long form and a short form. The short form is marked by
uppercase letters, the long form corresponds to the complete word. You can enter
either the short form or the long form; other abbreviations are not permitted.
Example:
MEASure:CURRent? is equivalent to MEAS:CURR?
Case-insensitivity
Uppercase and lowercase notation only serves to distinguish the two forms in the man-
ual, the instrument itself is case-insensitive.
Optional mnemonics
Some command systems permit inserting or omitting certain mnemonics in the header.
These mnemonics are marked by square brackets. The instrument must recognize the
long command to comply with the SCPI standard. Some commands are shortened by
these optional mnemonics.
Example:
FUSE[:STATe] { ON }
FUSE:STAT ON is equivalent to FUSE ON
