SCPI Device Command Summary
This SCPI command reference is also available online. It is stored inside your analyzer in electronic form. To use it, you must connect your instrument to the network, and access it using your Web browser. See the The LAN Interface User’s Guide Supplement for details.
Throughout this chapter, the following conventions are used:
• Square brackets ( [ ] ) are used to enclose a keyword that is optional or implied when programming the command; that is, the instrument will process the command to have the same effect whether the option node is omitted or not.
• Parameter types ( < > ) are distinguished by enclosing the type name in angle brackets.
• A vertical bar ( | ) can be read as “or” and is used to separate alternative parameter options.
• UPPER -case letters (as found in the command MODify , for example) are used to indicate the short form of a given mnemonic. The remaining lower-case letters are the rest of the long form mnemonic.
