SCPI Programming Manual
UTE9806+Smart Digital Power Meter
Chapter 1 SCPI
1.1 SCPI
SCPI is also called standard commands for programmable instruments. It defines
the communication mode for bus controller communicate with the instrument. It
is instrument command based on ASCII for measuring instrument.
1.2 Instruction Format
Command is consisting of a keyword, separator, parameter domain and end mark.
Take the following command as an example.
:VOLTage:RANGe 60
VOLTage, RANGe is keyword, “:” and blank is separator, “60” is parameter (some
commands have multiple parameters and separated by”,”), the line separator or
carriage return after the command is the end mark. For the convenience of
description, the following conventions are adopted for subsequent symbols.
-
Square Brackets “[ ]”
The contents in square brackets (command keywords) can be omitted.
-
Braces “{ }”It represents the parameter in command string.
-
Angle Braces “< >”The parameter enclosed in the angle brackets must be a numerical parameter.
-
Vertical Bar “|”It is used to separate multiple parameters.
-
End Mark: line separator （0x0A）or carriage return （0x0D）
1.3 Parameter Format
The data type of programming parameters include numeric, character and Boolean
type. Regardless of the type, it is expressed as an ASCII. For details, see
