SCPI Commands
There are two general classifications of SCPI commands described in the two sections below. They are:
Required (or mandated) SCPI Commands
Native SCPI Commands
Note that the Required SCPI Commands are a subset of the Native SCPI commands.

The required SCPI commands are listed in the table below

The SCPI Required Commands are described in detail in SCPI Commands in the following sections:
:STATus:OPERation Subsystem
:STATus:QUEStionable Subsystem
:SYSTem Subsystem
Native SCPI Commands
The majority of the commands are native SCPI commands and are also described in detail in SCPI Commands.
The commands are organized into subsystems, starting with the :CALCulate{1-16}:APPLication:MEASurement Subsystem and ending with the :TRIGger[:SEQuence] Subsystem.
Depending on the number of keywords in the command, the subsystems are grouped by either the first two keywords (such as :CALCulate:MARKer Subsystem) or the first three keywords (such as :CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:CONVersion Subsystem)
The commands are listed in strict ASCII sort sequence.
See the sections below starting with Command Requirements for definitions of parameters and other notations.
