Introduction
This section gives the syntax and parameters for all the IEEE 488.2 SCPI commands and the Common
commands used by the ac sources when operating in Normal mode. It is assumed that you are familiar
with the material in Chapter 2 "Introduction to Programming". Because the SCPI syntax remains the same
for all programming languages, the examples given for each command are generic.
Syntax Forms
Syntax definitions use the long form, but only short form headers (or "keywords")
appear in the examples. Use the long form to help make your program self-
documenting.
Parameters
Most commands require a parameter and all queries will return a parameter.The range
for a parameter may vary according to the model of ac source. Parameters for all
models are listed in the Specifications table in the User’s Guide.
Models
If a command only applies to specific models, those models are listed in the <Model>
Only entry. If there is no <Model> Only entry, the command applies to all models.
Phases
If a command can apply to individual phases of an , the entry Phase Selectable will
appear in the command description.

Commands
Where appropriate, related commands or queries are included. These are listed
because they are either directly related by function, or because reading about them will
clarify or enhance your understanding of the original command or query.
