Conventions used in SCPI Command Descriptions
Note the following conventions used in the remote command descriptions:
- Command usage
If not specified otherwise, commands can be used both for setting and for querying parameters.
If a command can be used for setting or querying only, or if it initiates an event, the usage is stated explicitly. - Parameter usage
If not specified otherwise, a parameter can be used to set a value and it is the result of a query.
Parameters required only for setting are indicated as Setting parameters.
Parameters required only to refine a query are indicated as Query parameters.
Parameters that are only returned as the result of a query are indicated as Return values. - Conformity
Commands that are taken from the SCPI standard are indicated as SCPI confirmed. All commands used by the R&S SMA follow the SCPI syntax rules. - Asynchronous commands
A command which does not automatically finish executing before the next command starts executing (overlapping command) is indicated as an Asynchronous command. - Reset values (*RST)
Default parameter values that are used directly after resetting the instrument (*RST command) are indicated as *RST values, if available. - Default unit
This is the unit used for numeric values if no other unit is provided with the parameter. - Manual operation
If the result of a remote command can also be achieved in manual operation, a link to the description is inserted.
