Preface

This manual is the command reference for the TVS600 & TVS600A Series Waveform Analyzers. These waveform analyzers are controlled through the use of SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) derived com­mands and IEEE 488.2 Common Commands. This manual describes how to use these commands to configure the waveform analyzer and access information generated by it or stored within it.

Default Model

This manual documents the TVS621, TVS621A, TVS625, TVS625A, TVS641, TVS641A, TVS645, and TVS645A waveform analyzers. Take note of the following conventions used when referencing these products:
Generally, the name “TVS600A” (or just “waveform analyzer”) is used when
providing information common to the TVS600 and TVS600A series of
waveform analyzers. The labels “TVS600 only” and “TVS600A only” are used when providing
information that pertains only to those models. The more specific names, listed above, are used when providing information
that pertains only to a specific model, such as the TVS625A.

Command Syntax

Command Syntax

This section contains information on the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) and IEEE 488.2 Common Commands you can use to program your waveform analyzer.

SCPI Commands and Queries

SCPI is a standard created by a consortium that provides guidelines for remote programming of instruments. These guidelines provide a consistent program­ming environment for instrument control and data transfer. This environment uses defined programming messages, instrument responses, and data format across all SCPI instruments, regardless of manufacturer. The waveform analyzer uses a command language based on the SCPI standard.
The SCPI language is based on a hierarchical or tree structure (see Figure 1–1) that represents a subsystem. The top level of the tree is the root node; it is followed by one or more lower-level nodes.
Creating Commands


Figure 1–1: Example of SCPI subsystem hierarchy tree
You can create commands and queries from these subsystem hierarchy trees. Commands specify actions for the instrument to perform. Queries return measurement data and information about parameter settings.
SCPI commands are created by stringing together the nodes of a subsystem hierarchy and separating each node by a colon.
In Figure 1–1, OUTPUT is the root node and TTLTRG, STATE, POLARITY, and SOURCE are lower-level nodes. To create a SCPI command, start with the root node OUTPUT and move down the tree structure adding nodes until you reach the end of a branch. Most commands and some queries have parameters; you must include a value for these parameters. If you specify a parameter value that is out of range, the parameter will be generally set to a default value. The

Command Syntax
command descriptions, which start on page 2–1, list the valid values for all parameters.
For example, OUTPUT:TTLTRG1:STATE ON is a valid SCPI command created from the hierarchy tree in Figure 1–1.
Creating Queries
Parameter Types
To create a query, start at the root node of a tree structure, move down to the end of a branch, and add a question mark. OUTPUT:TTLTrg:STATe? is an example of a valid SCPI query using the hierarchy tree in Figure 1–1.
Every parameter in the command and query descriptions is of a specified type. The parameters are enclosed in brackets, such as <pattern>. The parameter type is listed after the parameter and is enclosed in parentheses, for example, (discrete). Some parameter types are defined specifically for the waveform analyzer command set and some are defined by ANSI/IEEE 488.2-1992 (see Table 1–1).

Command Syntax
Abbreviating Commands,
Queries, and Parameters
You can abbreviate most SCPI commands, queries, and parameters to an accepted short form. This manual shows these short forms as a combination of upper and lower case letters. The upper case letters indicate the accepted short form of a command. As shown in Figure 1–2, you can create a short form by using only the upper case letters. The accepted short form and the long form are equivalent and request the same action of the instrument.

NOTE. The numeric part of a command or query must always be included in the accepted short form. In Figure 1–2, the “1” of “TTLTRG1” is always included in the command or query.
Chaining Commands and
Queries
1–4
You can chain several commands or queries together into a single message. To create a chained message, first create a command or query, add a semicolon (;), and then add more commands or queries and semicolons until you are done. If the command following a semicolon is a root node, precede it with a colon (:). Figure 1–3 illustrates a chained message consisting of several commands and queries. A semicolon is not required after the final end or query in a chained message. Responses to any queries in your message are separated by semicolons.

If a command or query has the same root and lower-level nodes as the previous command or query, you can omit these nodes. In Figure 1–4, the second command has the same root node (TRIG) as the first command, so these nodes can be omitted.

Here are some general rules for using SCPI commands, queries, and parameters: You can use single (‘ ’) or double (“ ”) quotation marks for quoted strings,
but you cannot use both types of quotation marks for the same string. correct: “This string uses quotation marks correctly.” correct: ‘This string also uses quotation marks correctly.’ incorrect: “This string does not use quotation marks correctly.’

Command Syntax
You can use upper case, lower case, or a mixture of both cases for all
commands, queries, and parameters.
OUTPUT1:TTLTRG:POLARITY INVERTED
is the same as
output1:ttltrg:polarity inverted
and
OUTPUT1:ttltrg:polarity INVERTED
No embedded spaces are allowed between or within nodes.
correct: OUTPUT1:TTLTRG:POLARITY INVERTED
incorrect: OUTPUT1: TTLTRG: POLARITY INV ERTED

IEEE 488.2 Common Commands

Description
Command and Query
Structure
ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.2 defines the codes, formats, protocols, and usage of common commands and queries used on the interface between the controller and the instruments. The waveform analyzer complies with this standard.
The syntax for an IEEE 488.2 common command is an asterisk (*) followed by a command and, optionally, a space and parameter value. The syntax for an IEEE 488.2 common query is an asterisk (*) followed by a query and a question mark. All of the common commands and queries are listed in the last part of the Syntax and Commands section. The following are examples of common commands:
*ESE 16
*CLS
The following are examples of common queries:
*ESR?
*IDN?

Backus-Naur Form
Definition
Message Terminators
This manual may describe commands and queries using the Backus-Naur Form (BNF) notation. Table 1–2 defines the standard BNF symbols:
T able 1–2: BNF symbols and meanings
Symbol Meaning
<ą> Defined element
::= Is defined as
| Exclusive OR
{ą} Group; one element is required
[ą] Optional; can be omitted
.ă.Ă. Previous element(s) may be repeated
(ą) Comment
This manual uses <EOM> (End of message) to represent a message terminator.
Symbol Meaning
<EOM> Message terminator
The end-of-message terminator may be the END message (EOI asserted concurrently with the last data byte), the ASCII code for line feed (LF) sent as the last data byte, or both. The waveform analyzer always terminates messages with LF and EOI. It allows white space before the terminator.

Constructed Mnemonics

Some header mnemonics specify one of a range of mnemonics. For example, a channel mnemonic can be either INP1, INP2, INP3, or INP4. You use these mnemonics in the command just as you do any other mnemonic. For example, there is a INP1:FILT command, and there is also an INP2:FILT command. In the command descriptions, this list of choices is abbreviated as INP<n>.

Command Syntax
Block Arguments
Several waveform analyzer commands use a block argument form:
Symbol Meaning
<NZDig> A non-zero digit character, in the range 1–9 <Dig> A digit character, in the range 0–9 <DChar> A character with the hex equivalent of 00 through FF
hexadecimal (0 through 255 decimal)
<Block> A block of data bytes, defined as:
<Block> ::= { #<NZDig><Dig>[<Dig>...][<DChar>...]
| #0[<DChar>...]<terminator> }
<NZDig> specifies the number of <Dig> elements that follow. Taken together, the <Dig> elements form a decimal integer that specifies how many <DChar>
elements follow. The #0 format is for blocks of indifinite length and an END message termination is required.
