Chapter 1 SCPI Command Overview RIGOL Chapter 1 SCPI Command Overview SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) is a standardized instrument programming language that is built upon the existing standard IEEE 488.1 and IEEE 488.2 and conforms to various standards, such as the floating point operation rule in IEEE 754 standard, ISO 646 7-bit coded character set for information interchange (equivalent to ASCII programming).
PAGE 14
RIGOL Chapter 1 SCPI Command Overview Syntax The command line usually starts with a colon; the keywords are separated by colons, and following the keywords are the parameter settings available. The command ending with a quotation mark indicates querying a certain function. The keywords of the command and the first parameter is separated by a space. For example, :ACQuire:TYPE :ACQuire:TYPE? ACQuire is the root keyword of the command, and TYPE is the second-level keyword.
PAGE 15
Chapter 1 SCPI Command Overview RIGOL 3. Integer Unless otherwise specified, the parameter can be any integer (NR1 format) within the effective value range. Note: Do not set the parameter to a decimal, otherwise, errors will occur. For example, :DISPlay:GBRightness :DISPlay:GBRightness? Wherein, can be set to an integer ranging from 1 to 100. The query returns an integer ranging from 1 to 100. 4.
