Command Reference
Introduction to the WaveStation SCPI
This manual describes the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) that may be used
to control the Teledyne LeCroy WaveStation® 2000 and WaveStation 3000 Series Function/Arbitrary
Waveform Generators. All commands and queries can be executed locally or remotely. Most
commands can be sent as queries to retrieve current settings.
How Listings Are Organized
The commands are listed in alphabetical order according to their short form. Each command or query
is described with syntax, valid arguments, and examples. The command name (header) is given in short
form at the top of the page. Queries are recognized by the question mark (?) following the header.
A brief explanation of the function performed is given, followed by a presentation of the formal syntax
with the long form header given in upper- and lower-case characters and the short form derived from
it in all upper-case characters. Either form may be used in commands and queries.
IMPORTANT: Tables list command data parameters and valid values where there are many.
Parameters are listed in the order in which they are functionally processed for convenience.
Where applicable, the query syntax also is given with the format of its response.
In some cases, examples are given at the bottom of descriptions, following the lists of values.
Command Notation
The following notation is used in this manual to describe the command syntax:
< > Angular brackets enclose words that are 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 values
that may be used in a command instead of the placeholder.
{ } Braces enclose lists of values, one of which must be selected.
[ ] Square brackets enclose optional items.
… An ellipsis indicates that the items both to its left and right may be repeated a number of
times.
The letters used in the short command format are capitalized in the long format (e.g., BaSic_WaVe),
although they do not need to be capitalized in this fashion when writing commands.
