How the SCPI Information is Organized

SCPI Listings

The table of contents lists the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) without the parameters. The SCPI subsystem name will generally have the first part of the command in parenthesis that is repeated in all commands within the subsystem. The title(s) beneath the subsystem name is the remaining command syntax. The following example demonstrates this listing:

Communication Subsystem (:SYSTem:COMMunicate)

:PMETer:CHANnel

:SERial:ECHO

The following examples show the complete commands from the above Table of Contents listing:

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:PMETer:CHANnel

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:ECHO

Subsystem Groupings by Chapter

A subsystem is a group of commands used to configure and operate a certain function or feature. Like individual commands, subsystems that share a similar scope or role can also be categorized and grouped together. This guide uses chapters to divide subsystems into the following groups:

—System Commands — Basic Function Commands — Analog Modulation Commands — Digital Modulation Commands

Front Panel Operation Cross Reference

The last section in this book provides an index of hardkeys, softkeys, and data fields used in front panel operation, cross–referenced to their corresponding SCPI command. Key and data field names are sorted in two ways:

— individual softkey, hardkey, or data field name — SCPI subsystem name with associated key and data field names nested

underneath

Supported Models and Options per Command

Within each command section, the Supported heading describes the signal generator configurations supported by the SCPI command. “All” means that all models and options are supported. When “All with Option xxx” is shown next to this heading, only the stated option(s) is supported.

SCPI Basics

Common Terms

Using this Guide SCPI Basics

This section describes the general use of the SCPI language for the PSG. It is not intended to teach you everything about the SCPI language; the SCPI Consortium or IEEE can provide that level of detailed information. For a list of the specific commands available for the signal generator, refer to the table of contents.

For additional information, refer to the following publications:

— IEEE Standard 488.1–1987, IEEE Standard Digital Interface for

Programmable Instrumentation. New York, NY, 1998.

— IEEE Standard 488.2–1992, IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols and

Command Commands for Use with ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.1–1987. New York, NY, 1998.

The following terms are used throughout the remainder of this section:

Command A command is an instruction in SCPI consisting of

mnemonics (keywords), parameters (arguments), and punctuation. You combine commands to form messages that control instruments.

Controller A controller is any device used to control the signal

generator, for example a computer or another instrument.

Event Command Some commands are events and cannot be queried. An

event has no corresponding setting; it initiates an action at a particular time.

Program Message A program message is a combination of one or more

properly formatted commands. Program messages are sent by the controller to the signal generator.

Query A query is a special type of command used to instruct

the signal generator to make response data available to the controller. A query ends with a question mark. Generally you can query any command value that you set.

Response Message A response message is a collection of data in

specific SCPI formats sent from the signal generator to the controller. Response messages tell the controller about the internal state of the signal generator.

Keysight E8257D/67D & E8663D PSG Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference 3

Using this Guide SCPI Basics

Command Syntax

A typical command is made up of keywords prefixed with colons (:). The keywords are followed by parameters. The following is an example syntax statement:

[:SOURce]:POWer[:LEVel] MAXimum|MINimum

In the example above, the [:LEVel] portion of the command immediately follows the :POWer portion with no separating space. The portion following the [:LEVel], MINimum|MAXimum, are the parameters (argument for the command statement). There is a separating space (white space) between the command and its parameter.

Additional conventions in syntax statements are shown in Table 1-1 and Table

1-2.

Table 1-1 Special Characters in Command Syntax

Characters Meaning Example

| A vertical stroke between keywords or parameters indicates alterative

choices. For parameters, the effect of the command varies depending on the choice.

[ ] Square brackets indicate that the enclosed keywords or parameters are

optional when composing the command. These implied keywords or parameters will be executed even if they are omitted.

< > Angle brackets around a word (or words) indicate they are not to be

used literally in the command. They represent the needed item.

{ } Braces indicate that parameters can optionally be used in the

command once, several times, or not at all.

[:SOURce]:AM: MOD DEEP|NORMal

DEEP or NORMal are the choices.

[:SOURce]:FREQuency[:CW]?

SOURce and CW are optional items.

[:SOURce]:FREQuency: STARt <val><unit>

In this command, the words <val> and <unit> should be replaced by the actual

frequency and unit.

:FREQuency:STARt 2.5GHZ

[:SOURce]:LIST: POWer <val>{,<val>}

a single power listing: LIST:POWer 5 a series of power listings: LIST:POWer 5,10,15,20

Table 1-2 Command Syntax

Characters, Keywords, and Syntax Example

Upper–case lettering indicates the minimum set of characters required to execute the command.

Lower–case lettering indicates the portion of the command that is optional; it can either be included with the upper–case portion of the command or omitted. This is the flexible format principle called forgiving listening. Refer to “Command

Parameters and Responses” on page 7 for more information.

[:SOURce]:FREQuency[:CW]?,

FREQ is the minimum requirement.

:FREQuency

Either :FREQ, :FREQuency, or :FREQUENCY is correct.

Using this Guide SCPI Basics

Table 1-2 Command Syntax

Characters, Keywords, and Syntax Example

When a colon is placed between two command mnemonics, it moves the current path down one level in the command tree. Refer to “Command Tree” on

page 6 more information on command paths.

If a command requires more than one parameter, you must separate adjacent parameters using a comma. Parameters are not part of the command path, so commas do not affect the path level.

A semicolon separates two commands in the same program message without changing the current path.

White space characters, such as <tab> and <space>, are generally ignored as long as they do not occur within or between keywords.

However, you must use white space to separate the command from the parameter, but this does not affect the current path.

Command Types

Commands can be separated into two groups: common commands and subsystem commands. Figure 1-1, shows the separation of the two command groups. Common commands are used to manage macros, status registers, synchronization, and data storage and are defined by IEEE 488.2. They are easy to recognize because they all begin with an asterisk. For example *IDN?, *OPC, and *RST are common commands. Common commands are not part of any subsystem and the signal generator interprets them in the same way, regardless of the current path setting.

:TRIGger:OUTPut:POLarity?

TRIGger is the root level keyword

for this command.

[:SOURce]:LIST: DWELl <val>{,<val>}

:FREQ 2.5GHZ;:POW 10DBM

:FREQ uency or :POWer :LEVel are

not allowed.

A <space> between :LEVel and

6.2 is mandatory.

:POWer:LEVel 6.2

Subsystem commands are distinguished by the colon (:). The colon is used at the beginning of a command statement and between keywords, as in :FREQuency[:CW?]. Each command subsystem is a set of commands that roughly correspond to a functional block inside the signal generator. For example, the power subsystem (:POWer) contains commands for power generation, while the Status subsystem (:STATus) contains commands for controlling status registers.

Keysight E8257D/67D & E8663D PSG Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference 5

Using this Guide SCPI Basics

Figure 1-1 Command Types

Command Tree

Most programming tasks involve subsystem commands. SCPI uses a structure for subsystem commands similar to the file systems on most computers. In SCPI, this command structure is called a command tree and is shown in Figure

1-2.

Figure 1-2 Simplified Command Tree

The command closest to the top is the root command, or simply “the root.” Notice that you must follow a particular path to reach lower level commands. In the following example, :POWer represents AA, :ALC represents BB,

:SOURce represents GG. The complete command path is :POWer:ALC:SOURce? (:AA:BB:GG).

Paths Through the Command Tree

To access commands from different paths in the command tree, you must understand how the signal generator interprets commands. The parser, a part of the signal generator firmware, decodes each message sent to the signal generator. The parser breaks up the message into component commands using a set of rules to determine the command tree path used. The parser keeps track of the current path (the level in the command tree) and where it

6 Keysight E8257D/67D & E8663D PSG Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference

Using this Guide SCPI Basics

expects to find the next command statement. This is important because the same keyword may appear in different paths. The particular path is determined by the keyword(s) in the command statement.

A message terminator, such as a <new line> character, sets the current path to the root. Many programming languages have output statements that automatically send message terminators.

The current path is set to the root after the line–power is cycled or when

*RST is sent.

Command Parameters and Responses

SCPI defines different data formats for use in program and response messages. It does this to accommodate the principle of forgiving listening and precise talking. For more information on program data types refer to IEEE 488.2. Forgiving listening means the command and parameter formats are flexible.

For example, with the :FREQuency:REFerence:STATe ON|OFF|1|0 command, the signal generator accepts :FREQuency:REFerence:STATe ON,

:FREQuency:REFerence:STATe 1, :FREQ:REF:STAT ON, :FREQ:REF:STAT 1 to turn on the frequency reference mode.

Each parameter type has one or more corresponding response data types. A setting that you program using a numeric parameter returns either real or integer response data when queried. Response data (data returned to the controller) is more concise and restricted and is called precise talking.

Precise talking means that the response format for a particular query is always the same.

For example, if you query the power state (:POWer:ALC:STATe?) when it is on, the response is always 1, regardless of whether you previously sent :POWer:ALC:STATe 1 or :POWer:ALC:STATe ON.

Table 1-3 Parameter and Response Types

Parameter Types Response Data Types

Numeric Real, Integer

Extended Numeric Real, Integer

Discrete Discrete

Boolean Numeric Boolean

String String

Numeric Parameters

Numeric parameters are used in both common and subsystem commands. They accept all commonly used decimal representations of numbers including optional signs, decimal points, and scientific notation.

Keysight E8257D/67D & E8663D PSG Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference 7

Using this Guide SCPI Basics

If a signal generator setting is programmed with a numeric parameter which can only assume a finite value, it automatically rounds any entered parameter which is greater or less than the finite value. For example, if a signal generator has a programmable output impedance of 50 or 75 ohms, and you specified

76.1 for the output impedance, the value is rounded to 75. The following are examples of numeric parameters:

100 no decimal point required

100. fractional digits optional

−1.23 leading signs allowed

4.56E<space>3 space allowed after the E in exponential

−7.89E−001 use either E or e in exponential

+256 leading + allowed

.5 digits left of decimal point optional

Extended Numeric Parameters

Most subsystems use extended numeric parameters to specify physical quantities. Extended numeric parameters accept all numeric parameter values and other special values as well.

The following are examples of extended numeric parameters:

Extended Numeric Parameters Special Parameters

100 any simple numeric value DEFault resets parameter to its default value

1.2GHZ GHZ can be used for exponential (E009) UP increments the parameter

200MHZ MHZ can be used for exponential (E006) DOWN decrements the parameter

−100mV negative 100 millivolts MINimum sets parameter to smallest possible value

10DEG 10 degrees MAXimum sets parameter to largest possible value

Discrete Parameters

Discrete parameters use mnemonics to represent each valid setting. They have a long and a short form, just like command mnemonics. You can mix upper and lower case letters for discrete parameters.

The following examples of discrete parameters are used with the command :TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SOURce BUS|IMMediate|EXTernal.

BUS GPIB, LAN, or RS–232 triggering

IMMediate immediate trigger (free run)

EXTernal external triggering

8 Keysight E8257D/67D & E8663D PSG Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference

Using this Guide SCPI Basics

Although discrete parameters look like command keywords, do not confuse the two. In particular, be sure to use colons and spaces correctly. Use a colon to separate command mnemonics from each other and a space to separate parameters from command mnemonics.

The following are examples of discrete parameters in commands:

TRIGger:SOURce BUS

TRIGger:SOURce IMMediate

TRIGger:SOURce EXTernal

Boolean Parameters

Boolean parameters represent a single binary condition that is either true or false. The two–state boolean parameter has four arguments. The following list shows the arguments for the two–state boolean parameter:

ON boolean true, upper/lower case allowed

OFF boolean false, upper/lower case allowed

1 boolean true

0 boolean false

String Parameters

String parameters allow ASCII strings to be sent as parameters. Single or double quotes are used as delimiters.

The following are examples of string parameters:

'This is valid' "This is also valid" 'SO IS THIS'

Real Response Data

Real response data represent decimal numbers in either fixed decimal or scientific notation. Most high–level programming languages that support signal generator input/output (I/O) handle either decimal or scientific notation transparently.

The following are examples of real response data:

+4.000000E+010, −9.990000E+002

−9.990000E+002

+4.0000000000000E+010

Keysight E8257D/67D & E8663D PSG Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference 9

Using this Guide SCPI Basics

Integer Response Data

Integer response data are decimal representations of integer values including optional signs. Most status register related queries return integer response data. The following are examples of integer response data:

0 signs are optional −100 leading − allowed

+100 leading + allowed 256 never any decimal point

Discrete Response Data

Discrete response data are similar to discrete parameters. The main difference is that discrete response data only returns the short form of a particular mnemonic, in all upper case letters. The following are examples of discrete response data:

IMM EXT INT NEG

Numeric Boolean Response Data

Boolean response data returns a binary numeric value of one or zero.

String Response Data

String response data are similar to string parameters. The main difference is that string response data returns double quotes, rather than single quotes. Embedded double quotes may be present in string response data. Embedded quotes appear as two adjacent double quotes with no characters between them. The following are examples of string response data:

"This is a string"

"one double quote inside brackets: [""]"

"Hello!"

Program Messages

The following commands will be used to demonstrate the creation of program messages:

[:SOURce]:FREQuency:STARt [:SOURce]:FREQuency:STOP

[:SOURce]:FREQuency[:CW] [:SOURce]:POWer[:LEVel]:OFFSet

Example 1

:FREQuency:STARt 500MHZ;STOP 1000MHZ

This program message is correct and will not cause errors; STARt and STOP are at the same path level. It is equivalent to sending the following message:

FREQuency:STARt 500MHZ;FREQuency:STOP 1000MHZ

10 Keysight E8257D/67D & E8663D PSG Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference

Using this Guide SCPI Basics

Example 2

:POWer 10DBM;:OFFSet 5DB

This program message will result in an error. The message makes use of the default POWer[:LEVel] node (root command). When using a default node, there is no change to the current path position. Since there is no command OFFSet at the root level, an error results.

The following example shows the correct syntax for this program message:

:POWer 10DBM;:POWer:OFFSet 5DB

Example 3

:POWer:OFFSet 5DB;POWer 10DBM

This program message results in a command error. The path is dropped one level at each colon. The first half of the message drops the command path to the lower level command OFFSet; POWer does not exist at this level.

The POWer 10DBM command is missing the leading colon and when sent, it causes confusion because the signal generator cannot find POWer at the POWer:OFFSet level. By adding the leading colon, the current path is reset to the root. The following shows the correct program message:

:POWer:OFFSet 5DB;:POWer 10DBM

Example 4

FREQ 500MHZ;POW 4DBM

In this example, the keyword short form is used. The program message is correct because it utilizes the default nodes of :FREQ[:CW] and :POW[:LEVel]. Since default nodes do not affect the current path, it is not necessary to use a leading colon before FREQ or POW.

File Name Variables

File name variables, such as "<file name>", represent three formats, "<file

name>", "<file name@file type>", and "</user/file type/file name>". The following shows the file name syntax for the three formats, but

uses "FLATCAL" as the file name in place of the variable "<file name>":

Format 1 "FLATCAL"

Format 2 "FLATCAL@USERFLAT"

Format 3 "/USER/USERFLAT/FLATCAL"

Format 2 uses the file type extension (@USERFLAT) as part of the file name syntax. Format 3 uses the directory path which includes the file name and file type. Use Formats 2 and 3 when the command does not specify the file type.

Keysight E8257D/67D & E8663D PSG Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference 11

Using this Guide SCPI Basics

This generally occurs in the Memory (:MEMory) or Mass Memory (:MMEMory) subsystems. The following examples demonstrate a command where Format 1 applies:

Command Syntax with the file name variable :MEMory:STORe:LIST "<file name>"

Command Syntax with the file name :MEMory:STORe:LIST "SWEEP_1"

This command has :LIST in the command syntax. This denotes that "SWEEP_1" will be saved in the :List file type location as a list type file.

The following examples demonstrate a command where Format 2 applies:

Command Syntax with the file name variable

:MMEMory:COPY "<filename>","<filename>"

Command Syntax with the file name

:MMEMory:COPY "FLATCAL@USERFLAT","FLAT_2CAL@USERFLAT"

This command cannot distinguish which file type "FLATCAL" belongs to without the file type extension (@USERFLAT). If this command were executed without the extension, the command would assume the file type was Binary.

The following examples demonstrate a command where format 3 applies:

Command Syntax with the file name variable

:MMEMory:DATA "/USER/BBG1/WAVEFORM/<file name>",#ABC

Command Syntax with the file name

:MMEMory:DATA "/USER/BBG1/WAVEFORM/FLATCAL",#ABC

This command gives the directory path name where the file "FLATCAL" is stored.

A the number of decimal digits to follow in B.

B a decimal number specifying the number of data bytes

in C.

C the binary waveform data.

Refer to Table 2-11 for a listing of the file systems and types. The entries under file type are used in the directory path.

ARB Waveform File Directories

ARB waveform files can be saved to the following directories:

— WFM1: volatile ARB waveform storage. Files located here can be played by

the signal generator’s arb player, but are volatile and will be lost on a power cycle. The directory can also be specified as /USER/BBG1/WAVEFORM.

12 Keysight E8257D/67D & E8663D PSG Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference

Using this Guide SCPI Basics

— NVWFM: non–volatile ARB waveform storage. Files must be moved to the

WFM1: directory before they can be played by the signal generator’s Dual ARB player. The directory can also be specified as /USER/WAVEFORM.

— SEQ: sequence files are stored here and are non–volatile. The directory can

also be specified as /USER/SEQ.

MSUS (Mass Storage Unit Specifier) Variable

The variable "<msus>" enables a command to be file type specific when working with user files. Some commands use it as the only command parameter, while others can use it in conjunction with a file name when a command is not file type specific. When used with a file name, it is similar to Format 2 in the File Name Variables section on page 11. The difference is the file type specifier (msus) occupies its own variable and is not part of the file name syntax.

The following examples illustrate the usage of the variable "<msus>" when it is the only command parameter:

Command Syntax with the msus variable

:MMEMory:CATalog? "<msus>"

Command Syntax with the file system

:MMEMory:CATalog? "LIST:"

The variable "<msus>" is replaced with "LIST:". When the command is executed, the output displays only the files from the List file system.

The following examples illustrate the usage of the variable "<file name>" with the variable "<msus>":

Command Syntax with the file name and msus variables

:MMEMory:DELete[:NAME] "<file name>",["<msus>"]

Command Syntax with the file name and file system

:MMEMory:DELete:NAME "LIST_1","LIST:"

The command from the above example cannot discern which file system LIST_1 belongs to without a file system specifier and will not work without it. When the command is properly executed, LIST_1 is deleted from the List file system.

The following example shows the same command, but using Format 2 from the File Name Variables section on page 11:

:MMEMory:DELete:NAME "LIST_1@LIST"

When a file name is a parameter for a command that is not file system specific, either format (<file name>","<msus>" or "<file name@file system>") will work.

Quote Usage with SCPI Commands

As a general rule, programming languages require that SCPI commands be enclosed in double quotes as shown in the following example:

":FM:EXTernal:IMPedance 600"

However, when a string is the parameter for a SCPI command, additional quotes or other delimiters may be required to identify the string. Your programming language may use two sets of double quotes, one set of single quotes, or back slashes with quotes to signify the string parameter. The following examples illustrate these different formats:

"MEMory:LOAD:LIST ""myfile""" used in BASIC programming

languages

"MEMory:LOAD:LIST \"myfile\"" used in C, C++, Java, and PERL

"MEMory:LOAD:LIST 'myfile'" accepted by most programming

languages

Consult your programming language reference manual to determine the correct format.

Binary, Decimal, Hexadecimal, and Octal Formats

Command values may be entered using a binary, decimal, hexadecimal, or octal format. When the binary, hexadecimal, or octal format is used, their values must be preceded with the proper identifier. The decimal format (default format) requires no identifier and the signal generator assumes this format when a numeric value is entered without one. The following list shows the identifiers for the formats that require them:

— #B identifies the number as a binary numeric value (base–2).

— #H identifies the number as a hexadecimal alphanumeric value (base–16).

— #Q identifies the number as a octal alphanumeric value (base–8).

The following are examples of SCPI command values and identifiers for the decimal value 45:

#B101101 binary equivalent

#H2D hexadecimal equivalent

#Q55 octal equivalent

The following example sets the RF output power to 10 dBm (or the equivalent value for the currently selected power unit, such as DBUV or DBUVEMF) using the hexadecimal value 000A:

:POW #H000A

Using this Guide SCPI Basics

A unit of measure, such as DBM or mV, will not work with the values when using a format other than decimal.

The following example sets the bluetooth board address to FFBF7 (hexadecimal):

System Commands Calibration Subsystem (:CALibration)

Calibration Subsystem (:CALibration)

:DCFM

Supported All with Option UNT

:CALibration:DCFM

This command initiates a DCFM or DCΦM calibration depending on the currently active modulation. This calibration eliminates any dc or modulation offset of the carrier signal.

Use this calibration for externally applied signals. While the calibration can also be performed for internally generated signals, dc offset is not a normal characteristic for them.

If the calibration is performed with a dc signal applied, any deviation provided by the dc signal will be removed and the new zero reference point will be at the applied dc level. The calibration will have to be performed again when the dc signal is removed in order to reset the carrier signal to the correct zero reference.

:IQ

:IQ:DC

Key Entry DCFM/DCΦM Cal

:OUTPut:SETTled?

This command returns the current state of the source settled line. A “1” return value indicates the source is settled. A “0” return value indicates the source is unsettled. This command does not wait for the source to settle before returning the state. This is different than the *OPC? command which delays the command response until the operation is complete.

An annunciator always displays on the signal generator to indicate whether the RF output is on or off.

System Commands Output Subsystem (:OUTPut)

This command sets the polarity of the source settled line (also referred to as: “lock and level”). When the active polarity is set to NORMal, the source settled line will be TTL low level whenever the source is settled. If the active polarity is set to INVerted, the source will be TTL high level whenever the source is settled. (This is the default condition.)

An annunciator always displays on the signal generator to indicate whether the RF output is on or off.

:OUTPut:SETTled:RETRace NORMal|INVerted :OUTPut:SETTled:RETRace?

This command sets the source settled state (also referred to as: “lock and level”) when a step or list sweep is armed and waiting for an external trigger input. In the “NORMal” mode, the source settled output indicates “Settled”; in the “INVerted” mode, the source settled output indicates “Not Settled.” This command is coupled to the “:SETTled:POLarity” on page 75 command. If the

“:SETTled:POLarity” on page 75 command is “INVerted” and the retrace mode

is “INVerted”, the source settled ouput will be at a TTL low level when the step or list sweep is armed and waiting for an external trigger input. (This is the default condition.)

An annunciator always displays on the signal generator to indicate whether the RF output is on or off.

NORMal This choice indicates the source is settled when waiting

for an external trigger.

INVerted This choice indicates the source is not settled when

waiting for an external trigger. (This is the default condition.)
