Table: “Creating Valid Commands” provides examples of valid command syntax:
Command statements read from left to right and from top to bottom. In the command statement above, the :FREQuency keyword immediately follows the
:SENSe keyword with no separating space. A space (
sp) is used between the command string and its argument.
Note that the first keyword in the command string does not require a leading colon; however, it is good practice to always use a leading colon for all keywords. Note also that the
:SENSe keyword is optional. This is a SCPI convention for all voltage or signal source type instruments that allows shorter command statements to be used.
