functional order as well as alphabetical order. The command syntax
section shows you the basic syntax rules you have to apply when
using commands.

Command
Structure

SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments) commands follow a tree-like
structure, organized into nodes. Each level of
the command tree is a node. Each keyword in a
SCPI command represents each node in the
command tree. Each keyword (node) of a SCPI
command is separated by a colon (:).

For example, the diagram below shows an SCPI
sub-structure and a command example.
