Use of the Command Tables
In Table 1-4, notice that a new column titled “Allowed Values” has
been added to the command table. This column lists the specific
values or range of values allowed for each parameter. A vertical
bar
(I) separates values in a list from which you must choose one
value. The commands listed in the table are only part of all the
available SCPI commands of the synthesizer. For a complete listing
of the programming codes see “SCPI Command Summary” in the
Operating and Programming Reference chapter that follows.
