Introduction to the SCPI Language
1.1. About Commands & Queries
This section lists and describes the remote control commands and queries recognized
by the instrument. All commands and queries can be executed in either local or remote
state.
The description for each command or query, with syntax and other information, begins
on a new page. The name (header) is given in both long and short form at the top
of the page, and the subject is indicated as a command or query or both. Queries
perform actions such as obtaining information, and are recognized by the question
mark (?) following the header.
1.1.1. How they are listed?
The descriptions are listed in alphabetical order according to their short form.
1.1.2. How they are described?
In the descriptions themselves, a brief explanation of the function performed is
given. This is followed by a presentation of the formal syntax, with the header given
in Upper-and-Lower-Case characters and the short form derived from it in ALL
UPPER-CASE characters. Where applicable, the syntax of the query is given with the
format of its response.
1.1.3. When can they be used?
The commands and queries listed here can be used for SDGxxxx Series digital
instruments.

SDG1000 Programming Manual
1.1.4. Command Notation
The following notation is used in the commands:
< > Angular brackets enclose words that are used
placeholders, of which there are two types: the header path
and the data parameter of a command.
:= A colon followed by an equals sign separates a placeholder
from the description of the type and range of values that
may be used in a command instead of the placeholder.
{ } Braces enclose a list of choices, one of which one must be
made.
[ ] Square brackets enclose optional items.
… An ellipsis indicates that the items both to its left and right
may be repeated a number of times.

1.3. IEEE 488.2 Common Command Introduction
IEEE standard defines the common commands used for querying the basic information
of the instrument or executing basic operations. These commands usually start with
"*" and the length of the keywords of the command is usually 3 characters.
1.3.1 CHDR
DESCRIPTION This Command is used to change query command return format.
SHORT parameter is return short format. LONG parameter is
return long format. Off is that command header and
parameter unit will not return.
COMMAND SYNTAX Comm_HeaDeR <parameter>
<parameter>:= {SHORT,LONG,OFF}
QUERY SYNTAX Comm_HeaDeR?
RESPONSE FORMAT SYNC <parameter>
EXAMPLE 1 Set query command format to long.
CHDR LONG
EXAMPLE 2 Read query command format.
CHDR?
return:
COMM_HEADER LONG

1.3.2 OPC
DESCRIPTION The *OPC (OPeration Complete) command sets to true the OPC
bit (bit 0) in the standard Event Status Register (ESR).
The *OPC? query always responds with the ASCII character
1 because the device only responds to the query when the
previous command has been entirely executed.
QUERY SYNTAX *OPC?
RESPONSE FORMAT *OPC 1

1.3.3 IDN
DESCRIPTION The *IDN? Query causes the instrument to identify itself.
The response comprises manufacturer, scope model, serial
number, software version and firmware version.
QUERY SYNTAX *IDN?
RESPONSE FORMAT *IDN ,<device id>,<model>,<serial number>,<software
version>,<firmware version>
<device id>：=“SDG”is used to identify instrument.
<model>:= A model identifier less than 14 characters.
<serial number>:= A nine- or 10-digit decimal code .
<software version>:= A serial numbers about software
version.
<firmware version>:= two digits giving the major release
level followed by a period, then one digit giving the minor
release level followed by a period and a single-digit
update level (xx.y.z).
EXAMPLE 1 Reads version information.
*IDN?
return:
*IDN SDG SDG1022,00-00-00-13-22,1.01.01.10R1,20.234.3.
(return may differ form each version)
