Operator's Manual
Part II: Command Reference
All remote control commands and queries recognized by the instrument can be executed in either a
local or remote state.
This section lists commands and queries by short name in alphabetical order within subsystem.
Command Notation
A brief explanation of the operation performed by the command or query is followed by the formal
syntax, with the full-name header given in lowercase characters and the short form derived from it in
uppercase characters (e.g., DoT_JoiN and DTJN ).
Where applicable, the syntax of the query is given with the format of its response. For each command,
a short GPIB example illustrating a typical use is also provided. The device name of the oscilloscope is
defined as SCOPE% in the examples, but you can substitute any valid device name.
Queries obtain information. They are recognized by ? following their headers. Many commands can be
used as queries simply by adding the question mark.
TIP: You can always find out the correct form of a command by manually setting up the oscilloscope in the exact
required condition, and then sending a query which corresponds to the command. The reply from the
oscilloscope can then be copied into your program as a command.
Commands make use of the following notational symbols:
• < > - Angular brackets enclose words used as placeholders of which there are two types - the header path
and the data parameter of a command.
• := - A colon followed by an equals sign separates a placeholder from the description of the type and range
of values for use in a command instead of the placeholder.
• { } - Braces enclose a list of choices, one of which must be made.
• [ ] - Square brackets enclose optional items.
• … - An ellipsis indicates the items to its left and right can be repeated any number of times.
