APPENDIX B - SCPI COMMAND/QUERY DEFINITIONS

B.1

INTRODUCTION

This appendix defines the SCPI subsystem commands and queries used with the

TMA 4882-27 Controller. Subsystem commands are defined in PAR. B.2 through B.51,
arranged in groups as they appear in the tree diagram, Figure 3-2. Table B-1 provides a quick
reference of all SCPI subsystem commands and queries used in the Interface Card.

B.2

INITiate[:IMMediate] COMMAND

INIT[:IMM]

Syntax:

Short Form: INIT:[IMM] Long Form: INITiate[:IMMediate]

Description: Enables a single trigger. If INIT:CONT is OFF, then INIT[:IMM] arms the trigger system for a single

trigger. If INIT:CONT is ON, then the trigger system is continuously armed and INIT[:IMM] is redun-
dant. This command enables a single trigger. A GPIB , *TRG or command completes the
sequence. Upon receipt of the or *TRG command, the power supply will return to the pro-
grammed values of voltage and current established by the VOLT:TRIG and CURR:TRIG commands.
After a GPIB or *TRG command has been received, subsequent GPIB , *TRG com-
mands have no effect unless preceded by INIT or INIT:CONT ON. Related Commands: , *RST,
*TRG. (See example, Figure B-3.)

B.3

INITiate:CONTinuous COMMAND

INIT:CONT

Syntax:

Short Form: INIT:CONT {ON | OFF} or {1 | 0} (1 = on, 0 = off)
Long Form: INITiate:CONTinuous {ON | OFF} or {1 | 0} (1 = on, 0 = off)

Description: INIT:CONT ON enables continuous triggers.; INIT:CONT OFF disables continuous triggers. If

INIT:CONT is OFF, then INIT[:IMM] arms the trigger system for a single trigger. If INIT:CONT is ON,
then the trigger system is continuously armed and INIT[:IMM] is redundant. Executing *RST command
sets INIT:CONT to OFF. (See example, Figure B-3.)
