Command Tree

The SCPI standard is an ASCII based standard that

defines the command syntax and structure for

programmable instruments.

Commands are based on a hierarchical tree

structure. Each command keyword is a node on

the command tree with the first keyword as the

root node. Each sub node is separated with a

colon.

Shown below is a section of the SOURce[1] root

node and the APPLy/OUTPut and

SINusoid/SQUare sub nodes.
