following example shows a command and its
associated query:
CONFigure:CAPacitance 10u
Set the primary display to the capacitance
measurement, and select the 10 uF range.
CONFigure?
Return the function of the primary display
measurement.
CONFigure is a root level keyword with the second
level keyword, CAPacitance, and 10u is the command
parameter. The query command ends with a question
mark “?”.
Note: SCPI stems from IEEE488.1 and IEEE 488.2.
Although the IEEE 488.2 standard addressed some
instrument measurements, it principally dealt with
common commands and syntax or data formats.
Please refer to the IEEE488.2 and SCPI reference
manual for more information.
Termination Character
A terminator is a character sent by a host, which
identifies the end of a command string. A valid
terminator consists of two-byte data:
(Carriage Return, ASC(&H0D)) or (Line
Feed, ASC(&H0A)) or
