Linking Commands Linking commands means sending multiple commands in the same output
string. This is done to avoid "settings conflict" errors since (command)
coupling interactions are not resolved until the carriage return (CR) is
received.
Linking IEEE 488.2 Common Commands
Use a semicolon between the commands. For example:
*RST;*CLS;*OPC?
Linking Multiple SCPI Commands
A semicolon (;) is used to separate commands within the same subsystem
and saves typing. For example, sending this command message:
TRIG:SOUR TIM;TIM1 100E-9;COUN 100
Is the same as sending these three commands:
TRIG:SOUR TIM
TRIG:TIM1 100E-9
TRIG:COUN 100
When linking commands in different subsystems, a semicolon (;) and a
colon (:) are used. For example:
ARM:SOUR IMM;COUN10;:TRIG:SOUR TIM;TIM1 100E-9;COUN 30000
Command Choices Some commands are listed as two commands separated with a vertical bar
(“|”). This means that either command name can be used. For example, you
could use either “:STAR” or “:SEQ1” when
“[:STARt |SEQuence1]” is shown.
SCPI Command Reference
This section describes the SCPI commands for the HP E1429 Digitizer.
Commands are listed alphabetically by subsystem, and alphabetically within
each subsystem. A command guide is printed in the top margin of each
page. The guide indicates the first command listed on that page.
