3 Language Dictionary54 Keysight Models 6811C, 6812C, and 6813C Programming GuideIntroductionThis section gives the syntax and parameters for all the IEEE 488.2 SCPIcommands and the Common commands used by the ac sources when operatingin Normal mode. It is assumed that you are familiar with the material in Chapter 2,"Introduction to Programming". Because the SCPI syntax remains the same for allprogramming languages, the examples given for each command are generic.Syntax forms Syntax definitions use the long form, but only short form headers (or “keywords”)appear in the examples. Use the long form to help make your programself-documenting.Parameters Most commands require a parameter and all queries will return a parameter.Therange for a parameter may vary according to the model of ac source. Parametersfor all models are listed in the Specifications table in the User's Guide.Models If a command only applies to specific models, those models are listed in the only entry. If there is no only entry, the command applies toall models.Related commands Where appropriate, related commands or queries are included. These are listedbecause they are either directly related by function, or because reading aboutthem will clarify or enhance your understanding of the original command orquery.Order of presentation The dictionary is organized as follows:– Subsystem commands, arranged by subsystem– IEEE 488.2 common commands
