Keysight M8070A Programming Guide 93SCPI Command Language 4With the optional commands removed::VOLT ‘M1.DataOut1’,1.11The long form is the most descriptive form of programming commands inSCPI.Sending Commands to the M8020A/M8030A/M8040ASending Commands to the M8020A/M8030A/M8040A - OverviewA command is invalid and will be rejected if:• It contains a syntax error.• It cannot be identified.• It has too few or too many parameters.• A parameter is out of range.• It is out of context.Sending Commands using VISAThe following is a list of the available hardware interfaces for sendingcommands to the M8020A/M8030A/M8040A firmware:SCPI Access (HiSLIP): TCPIP0::localhost::hislip0::INSTR (High-Speed LANInstrument Protocol)SCPI Access (VXI-11): TCPIP0::localhost::inst0::INSTR (VXI-11 is a TCP/IPinstrument protocol defined by the VXIbus Consortium)SCPI Access (Socket): TCPIP0::localhost::5025::SOCKET (StandardSCPI-over-sockets port)SCPI Access (Telnet): telnet localhost 5024 (Communication with LANinstrument through SCPI Telnet port)NOTE If you use the VXI-11 (TCP/IP instrument protocol) in your test programs,you must change the resource string to the HiSLIP protocol if thesoftware is running on Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. VXI-11 is notsupported at this time on Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.For example:“TCPIP0::192.17.34.0::inst0::INSTR” -> “TCPIP0::192.17.34.0::hislip0::INSTR”
