SCPI Parameter Types
The following parameter types are used:
<Numeric Value> Accepts all commonly used decimal representation of
numbers including optional signs, decimal points, and
scientific notation:
For Example: 123, 123e2, -123, -1.23e2, .123, 1.23e-
2, 1.2300E-01
<Boolean Value> Represents a single binary condition that is either true or
false. True is represented by a 1 or ON; false is
represented by a 0 or OFF. Queries return 1 or 0.
<Identifier> Selects from a finite number of predefined strings.
Error Codes

’n ‘<cr><lf>
Where
‘n’ is one of the following error codes:
1. Incorrect prefix, i.e. no colon or * to start command.
2. Missing command keyword.
3. Invalid command keyword.

6. Query only, command needs a question mark.
7. Invalid query, command does not have a query form.
8. Command unavailable in current system state.
Programming Examples
Example 1)
20 ms pulse width, 2.3 ms delay, 10 Hz internal trigger, and continuous operation.
:PULSE1:STATE ON <cr> <lf> enables channel A
:PULSE1:POL NORM <cr> <lf> sets polarity to active high
:PULSE:WIDT 0.020 <cr> <lf> sets pulse width to 20 ms
:PULSE1:DELAY 0.0023 <cr> <lf> sets delay to 2.3 ms
:PULSE0:MODE NORM <cr> <lf> sets system mode to continuous
:PULSE0:PER 0.1 <cr> <lf> sets period to 100 ms (10 Hz)
:PULSE0:EXT:MODE DIS <cr> <lf> disables the external trigger
