Command Reference Information

SCPI Command 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) :LAN:IP

:LAN:SUBNet

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

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:IP :SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:SUBNet

Key and Data Field Cross Reference

The index is set up so applicable key and data field names can be cross-referenced to the appropriate SCPI command. There are two headings in the index where the key and data field names can be found:

— individual softkey, or data field name (i.e. To look up the communication

subsystem topic on Default Gateway softkey refer to Default Gateway softkey.)

— subsystem name (i.e. To look for the Default Gateway softkey (in the

Communication Subsystem), refer to the heading labeled: “communication subsystem keys”.)

Supported Field

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

Common Terms

SCPI Basics SCPI Basics

This section describes the general use of the SCPI language forKeysight X-Series signal generators. 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 488.1-2003, IEEE Standard For Higher Performance Protocol

for the Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation. New York, NY, 2003.

— 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.

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]:PULM:INTernal:FREQuency <frequency>|MAXimum|MINimum|UP|DOWN

In the example above, the :INTernal:FREQuency portion of the command immediately follows the :PULM portion with no separating space. The portion following the :INTernal, <frequency>|MAXimum|MINimum|UP|DOWN, 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 alternative 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.

[:SOURce]:AM: MOD DEEP|NORMal

DEEP or NORMal are the choices.

[:SOURce]:FREQuency[:CW ]?

SOURce and CW are optional items.

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

In this command, the words <value> and <unit> should be replaced by the actual frequency and unit.

:FREQuency:STARt 2.5GHz

SCPI Basics SCPI Basics

Table 1-2 Command Syntax

Characters, Keywords, and Syntax Example

Upper-case lettering indicates the minimum set of characters required to execute the command. But, each mode of the command must be in either short form or the complete long form (no in-between). Example:

Correct:

:FREQ :FREQuency

Incorrect:

:FREQuenc

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

Responses” on page 37

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 36 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.

“Command Parameters and

for more information.

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

FREQ is the minimum requirement.

:FREQuency

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

:TRIGger:OUTPut:POLarity?

TRIGger is the root level keyword for this

command.

[:SOURce]:LIST: DWELl <value>,<value>

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.

: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

Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference 35

SCPI Basics SCPI Basics

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 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.

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.

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.

36 Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference

SCPI Basics SCPI Basics

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 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.

Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference 37

SCPI Basics SCPI Basics

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 shows the response for a given parameter type.

Parameter Types Response Data Types

Numeric Real, Integer

Extended Numeric Real, Integer

Discrete Discrete

Boolean Numeric Boolean

String String

Definite Block

Arbitrary byte data

a. (i.e. text, binary, discrete, real, integer, etc.-).

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.

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

38 Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference

SCPI Basics SCPI Basics

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:

100 any simple numeric value

1.2GHz GHz can be used for exponential (E009)

200MHz MHz can be used for exponential (E006)

−100mV negative 100 millivolts

10DEG 10 degrees

Extended numeric parameters also include the following special

parameters:

DEFault resets the parameter to its default value

UP increments the parameter

DOWN decrements the parameter

MINimum sets the parameter to the smallest possible value

MAXimum sets the parameter to the 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 USB triggering

IMMediate immediate trigger (free run)

EXTernal external triggering

Although discrete parameters look like command keywords, do not confuse the two. In particular, be sure to use colons and spaces properly. 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

Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference 39

SCPI Basics SCPI Basics

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

40 Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference

SCPI Basics 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]:OF FSet

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

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.

SCPI Basics SCPI Basics

File Name Variables

File name variables designate a data file and file path. File name variables are used in the SCPI command syntax whenever files are accessed. The name of the file is always required, but the file path can sometimes be optional or be designated using different formats. The following table shows these different file path formats:

Format File Name Variable Example

Format 1 "<file name>" "Test_Data"

Format 2 "<file name@msus>"

Format 3 "<msus:file name>" "SEQ:Test_Data"

Format 4 "</user/directory/file name>" "/USER/SEQ/Test_Data"

"Test_Data@SEQ"

a. Included for backwards compatibility. Not a recommended syntax.

Formats 2–4 offer programming flexibility and are equivalent. Format 1 can only be used with SCPI commands that imply the path name as part of the command syntax. Typically, SCPI load commands that access user-data files do not need to have a file path designated.

See Table 1-3 on page 45 for information on file types and directories.

The maximum length for a file name is 23 characters, excluding the file path.

Example Using Format 1

:CORR:FLAT:LOAD "FLAT_DATA"

The preceding example loads user-flatness data from a file called FLAT_DATA located in the USERFLAT directory. No file path is needed as the command syntax implies the directory where the file is located.

Example Using Format 2

:MEM:COPY "IQ_DATA@SNVWFM","Test_DATA@WFM1"

The preceding example copies a file named IQ_DATA located in the WAVEFORM directory to a file named Test_DATA in volatile waveform memory (BBG).

Example Using Format 3

:MEM:COPY "SNVWFM:IQ_DATA","WFM1:Test_DATA"

The preceding example copies a file named IQ_DATA located in the WAVEFORM directory to a file named Test_DATA in volatile waveform memory (BBG).

Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference 43

SCPI Basics SCPI Basics

Example Using Format 4

:MEM:COPY "/USER/WAVEFORM/IQ_DATA","/USER/BBG1/WAVEFORM/IQ_DATA"

The preceding example copies a file named IQ_DATA located in the WAVEFORM directory to a file named IQ_DATA in volatile waveform memory (BBG).

The following examples show commands, with different formats, that can be used to download a waveform file named Test_Data into the signal generator’s volatile waveform memory (BBG):

Command Syntax Format 3

:MEMory:DATA "WFM1:Test_Data",#ABC

Command Syntax Format 4

:MEMory:DATA "/USER/BBG1/WAVEFORM/Test_Data",#ABC

These commands are equivalent. The data block, #ABC, is described as follows:

# This character indicates the beginning of the data block

A Number of digits in the byte count B

B Byte count in C

C Waveform data

Refer to “:DATA” on page 163 and the Programming Guide for more information on data blocks and downloading waveform data.

File Types and Directory Structure

The signal generator uses a computer directory model structure for file storage. The top level directory is called the USER directory. All other directories are subdirectories located under the USER directory. Each subdirectory is dedicated to the type of data stored. For example, the BIN directory is used to store binary data whereas the MARKERS directory is used to store marker data.

44 Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference

SCPI Basics SCPI Basics

When the USB media is used, the files on the USB media are stored in a single directory (i.e.

USER/). Each file has an extension (i.e. .waveform, .list,

.markers, .state, etc.-). The SCPI commands use the paths shown in Table

1-3 on page 45 and the associated examples. But when viewed, the USB

media, will not display these directories. Instead the file extensions will be displayed. For more information on the USB media capability refer to the Programming Guide and to the Users Guide.

The instrument’s directory /USER/NONVOLATILE contains either the internal storage and USB media non-volatile files stored with the filename extensions: .waveform, .list, .markers, .state, etc.-. This directory is useful when ftp is used.

The following table lists signal generator the subdirectories and file paths where file types are stored.

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

Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference 45

SCPI Basics SCPI Basics

Format 2 in the File Name Variables section on page 43. 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 43:

: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@msus>") will work.

Refer to Table 1-3 on page 45 for a listing of the file systems and types.

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 doublequotes, one set of single quotes, or back slashes with quotes to signify the string parameter. The following examples illustrate these different formats:

46 Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference

SCPI Basics SCPI Basics

"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

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

This command enables and disables the RF and baseband magnitude and phase corrections across the 160 MHz baseband bandwidth, at the current frequency.

When this feature is on, arbitrary frequency switching while the baseband is on will take up to an additional 3.3ms (typical) to 6.8ms the first time that frequency is specified. After that, switching to that frequency will take up to an additional 1.3ms. Up to 1024 unique frequencies can be cached before the oldest cache will be forgotten. If a frequency sweep is activated, then the calculation and caching will occur up front for the first 1024 unique frequencies, and all further unique frequencies will have the characteristics of arbitrary frequency switching.

If the I/Q correction optimized path is set to Ext I/Q Output, then only the baseband corrections are applied and the frequency switching is unaffected.

This correction is convolved with the ACP internal I/Q channel optimization filter and the equalization filter, if they are active. The resulting filter is truncated to 256 taps.

A positive value delays the I signal relative to the Q signal, and a negative value delays the Q signal relative to the I signal.

Example

:DM:IQAD:SKEW 5E–9

The preceding example sets the time delay difference between the I and Q signals to 5 nanoseconds.

The table represents the value of a bit flag.

If a bit is not set, then the option is ignored (not applied).

If FM, fM is not turned on, the FM, fM suppression does nothing.

The FM, fM should be typically as in CW mode.

The AM suppressing is accomplished by grounding the input to the AM modulator, no other reconfiguration of HW is performed.

The AM should be set up in CW mode.

This command overrides the signal generator's automatic ALC bandwidth selection with the users specific selection. For waveforms with varying amplitudes, high crest factors, or both, the recommended ALC loop bandwidth is the low bandwidth setting of the generator. Limiting the loop bandwidth of the ALC circuit will prevent the ALC from sampling the fast rising edges of pulsed waveforms. A limited, or narrow bandwidth will result in a longer ALC sample time and a more accurate representation of the signal's level.
