Creating Valid Commands
Commands are not case sensitive and there are often many different
ways of writing a particular command. These are examples of valid
commands for a given command syntax:
Command Syntax Sample Valid Commands
[SENSe:]BANDwidth[:RESolution] <freq> The following sample commands are all
identical. They will all cause the same result.
• Sense:Band:Res 1700
• BANDWIDTH:RESOLUTION 1.7e3
• sens:band 1.7KHZ
• SENS:band 1.7E3Hz
• band 1.7kHz
• bandwidth:RES 1.7e3Hz
MEASure:SPECtrum[n]? • MEAS:SPEC?
• Meas:spec?
• meas:spec3?
The number 3 in the last meas example causes
it to return different results then the commands
above it. See the command description for more
information.
[:SENSe]:DETector[:FUNCtion]
NEGative|POSitive|SAMPle
• DET:FUNC neg
• Detector:Func Pos
INITiate:CONTinuous ON|OFF|1|0 The sample commands below are identical.
• INIT:CONT ON
• init:continuous 1
