 SCPI Command Introduction

Chapter 1 SCPI Command Introduction

1.1 Overview
SCPI is short for Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments which
defines a communication method of bus controller and instrument. It is based
on ASCII and supply for testing and measuring instruments. SCPI command is
based on hierarchical architecture which also known as tree system. In this
system, Relevant Command is returned to a common node or root, so that a
subsystem is formed.

A part of OUTPut subsystem is listed below:

OUTPut:

SYNC {OFF|0|ON|1}

SYNC:

MODE {NORMal|CARRier}

POLarity {NORMal|INVerted}

OUTPut is the root class keyword, SYNC is the second keyword, MODE and
POLarity are the third keyword. Colon(:) is used for separating the command
keyword and the next level keyword.

1.2 Command Type of SCPI

SCPI has two types of commands, common and subsystem.
⚫ Common commands generally are not related to specific operation but to
controlling overallinstrument functions, such as reset, status, and
synchronization. All commoncommands consist of a three-letter mnemonic
preceded by an asterisk: *RST *IDN? *SRE 8.

⚫ Subsystem commands perform specific instrument functions. They are

organized into an inverted tree structure with the "root" at the top. The
following figure shows a portion of a subsystem command tree, from which
you access the commands located along the various paths.

 SCPI Command Introduction

Multiple commands in a message

Multiple SCPI commands can be combined and sent as a single
message with one message terminator. There are two important
considerations when sending several commands within a single
message:
⚫ Use a semicolon to separate commands within a message.

⚫ Head paths influence how the instrument interprets commands.

We consider the head path as a string which will be inserted in front of

every command of a message. As for the first command of a message,
the head path is a null string; for each subsequent command, the head
path is a string which is defined to form the current command until and
including the head of the last colon separator. A message with two
combined commands: CURR:LEV 3;PROT:STAT OFF

The example indicates the effect of semicolon and explains the concept
of head path. Since the head path is defined to be "CURR" after "curr: lev
3", the head of the second command, "curr", is deleted and the
instrument explains the second command as: CURR:PROT:STAT OFF

If "curr" is explicitly included in the second command, it is semantically

wrong. Since combining it with the head path will become
"CURR:CURR:PROT:STAT OFF", resulting in wrong command.

Movement in the subsystem

In order to combine commands from different subsystems, you need to
be able to reset the header path to a null string within a message. You do
this by beginning the command with a colon (:), which discards any
previous header path. For example, you could clear the output protection
and check the status of the Operation Condition register in one message

Copyright© Itech Electronic Co., Ltd. 2

 SCPI Command Introduction

by using a root specifier as follows:

PROTection:CLEAr;:STATus:OPERation:CONDition?

The following message shows how to combine commands from different

subsystems as well as within the same subsystem:
POWer:LEVel 200;PROTection 28; :CURRent:LEVel 3;PROTection:STATe ON

Note the use of the optional header LEVel to maintain the correct path
within the voltage and current subsystems, and the use of the root
specifier to move between subsystems.

Including Common Commands

You can combine common commands with subsystem commands in the
same message. Treat the common command as a message unit by
separating it with a semicolon (the message unit separator). Common
commands do not affect the header path; you may insert them anywhere
in the message.
VOLTage:TRIGgered 17.5;:INITialize;*TRG

OUTPut OFF;*RCL 2;OUTPut ONIT872X-3X SCPI Communication protocol 17

Case sensitivity
Common commands and SCPI commands are not case sensitive. You
can use upper or lowerfor example:
*RST = *rst
:DATA? = :data?
:SYSTem:PRESet = :system:preset

Long-form and short-form versions

A SCPI command word can be sent in its long-form or short-form version.
However, the short-form version is indicated by upper case characters.
Examples:

:SYSTem:PRESet long-form

:SYST:PRES short form

:SYSTem:PRES long-form and short-form combination

Note that each command word must be in long-form or short-form, and

not something in between.

For example, :SYSTe:PRESe is illegal and will generate an error. The

command will not be executed.

 SCPI Command Introduction

Query
Observe the following precautions with queries:
⚫ Set up the proper number of variables for the returned data. For example, if
you are reading back a measurement array, you must dimension the array
according to the number of measurements that you have placed in the
measurement buffer.

⚫ Read back all the results of a query before sending another command to
the instrument. Otherwise a Query Interrupted error will occur and the
unreturned data will be lost.

1.3 Message Typeof SCPI

There are two types of SCPI messages, program and response.
⚫ program message: A program message consists of one or more properly
formatted SCPI commands sent from the controller to the instrument. The
message, which may be sent at any time, requests the instrument to
perform some action.
⚫ response message: A response message consists of data in a specific
SCPI format sent from the instrument to the controller. The instrument
sends the message only when commanded by a program message called
a "query."
The next figure illustrates SCPI message structure:

The Message Unit

The simplest SCPI command is a single message unit consisting of a command
header (or keyword) followed by a message terminator. The message unit may
include a parameter after the header. The parameter can be numeric or a
string.

ABORt<NL>

Copyright© Itech Electronic Co., Ltd. 4

 SCPI Command Introduction

VOLTage 20<NL>

Headers
Headers, also referred to as keywords, are instructions recognized by the
instrument. Headers may be either in the long form or the short form. In the long
form, the header is completely spelled out, such as VOLTAGE, STATUS and
DELAY. In the short form, the header has only the first three or four letters, such
as VOLT, STAT and DEL.

Query Indicator
Following a header with a question mark turns it into a query (VOLTage?,
VOLTage:PROTection?). If a query contains a parameter, place the query
indicator at the end of the last header(VOLTage:PROTection?MAX).

Message Unit Separator

When two or more message units are combined into a compound message,
separate the units with a semicolon (STATus:OPERation?;QUEStionable?).

Root Specifier
When it precedes the first header of a message unit, the colon becomes the
root specifier.

Message Terminator
A terminator informs SCPI that it has reached the end of a message. Three
permitted message terminators are:
⚫ newline (<NL>),decimal 10 or hexadecimal 0X0A in ASCII.
⚫ end or identify (<END>)
⚫ both of the above (<NL><END>).
In the examples of this guide, there is an assumed message terminator at the
end of each message.

Command execution rules

⚫ Commands execute in the order that they are presented in the program
message.
⚫ An invalid command generates an error and, of course, is not executed.
⚫ Valid commands that precede an invalid command in a multiple command
program message are executed.
⚫ Valid commands that follow an invalid command in a multiple command
program message are ignored.

 SCPI Command Introduction

1.4 Response Data Type

Character strings returned by query statements may take either of the following
forms, depending on the length of the returned string:

⚫ <CRD>: Character Response Data. Permits the return of character strings.

⚫ <AARD>: Arbitrary ASCII Response Data. Permits the return of undelimited 7-bit
ASCII. This data type has an implied message terminator.

⚫ <SRD>: String Response Data. Returns string parameters enclosed in double

quotes.

⚫ <Block>: arbitrary block data.

Response messages
A response message is the message sent by the instrument to the computer in
response to a query command.

Sending a response message

After sending a query command, the response message is placed in the Output
Queue. When the instrument is then addressed to talk, the response message
is sent from the Output Queue to the computer.

Multiple response messages

If you send more than one query command in the same program message, the
multiple response messages for all the queries is sent to the computer when
the instrument is addressed to talk. The responses are sent in the order that the
query commands were sent and are separated by semicolons (;). Items within
the same query are separated by commas (,). The following example shows the
response message for a program message that contains four single item query
commands:

0; 1; 1; 0

Response message terminator (RMT)

Each response is terminated with an LF (line feed) and EOI (end or identify).
The following example shows how a multiple response message is terminated:

0; 1; 1; 0; <RMT>

Message exchange protocol

Two rules summarize the message exchange protocol:

Rule 1.You must always tell the IT6500 Series what to send to the computer.

Copyright© Itech Electronic Co., Ltd. 6

 SCPI Command Introduction

The following two steps must always be performed to send information from the
instrument other computer:

1. Send the appropriate query command(s) in a program message.

2. Address the IT6500 Series to talk.

Rule 2.The complete response message must be received by the computer

before another program message can be sent to the IT6500 Series.

1.5 Command Format

Formats for command display are as follows:

[SOURce[1|2]:]VOLTage:UNIT {VPP|VRMS|DBM}

[SOURce[1|2]:]FREQuency:CENTer
{<frequency>|MINimum|MAXimum|DEFault}

Based on the command syntax, most commands (and certain Parameter) are
expressed in both upper and lower cases. Upper case refers to abbreviation of
commands. Shorter program line may send commands in abbreviated format.
Long-format commands may be sent to ensure better program readability.

For example, both formats of VOLT and VOLTAGE are acceptable in the above
syntax statements. Upper or lower case may be used. Therefore, formats of
VOLTAGE, volt and Volt are all acceptable. Other formats (such as VOL and
VOLTAG) are invalid and will cause errors.

⚫ Parameter options with given command strings are included in the brace
({ }). The brace is not sent along with command strings.

⚫ Vertical stripes (|) separate several parameter options with given command
strings. For example, {VPP|VRMS|DBM} indicates that you may assign
"APP", "VRMS" or "DBM" in the above commands. Vertical stripes are not
sent along with command strings.

⚫ Angle brackets (< >) in the second example indicates that a value must be
assigned to the parameter in the brace. For example, the parameter in the
angle bracket is <frequency> in the above syntax statements. Angle
brackets are not sent along with command strings. You must assign a
value (such as "FREQ:CENT 1000") to the parameter, unless you select
other options displayed in the syntax (such as "FREQ:CENT MIN").

⚫ Some syntax elements (such as nodes and Parameter) are included in

square brackets ([ ]). It indicates that these elements can be selected and
omitted. Angle brackets are not sent along with command strings. If no

Copyright© Itech Electronic Co., Ltd. 7

 SCPI Command Introduction

value is assigned to the optional Parameter, the instrument will select a

default value. In the above examples, "SOURce[1|2]" indicates that you
may refer to source channel 1 by "SOURce" or "SOURce1" or "SOUR1" or
"SOUR". In addition, since the whole SOURce node is optional (in the
square bracket), you can refer to the channel 1 by omitting the whole
SOURce node. It is because the channel 1 is the default channel for
SOURce language node. On the other hand, if you want to refer to channel
2, "SOURce2" or "SOUR2" must be used in the program line.

Colon (:)
It is used to separate key words of a command with the key words in next level.
As shown below:

APPL:SIN 455E3,1.15,0.0

In this example, APPLy command assigns a sine wave with frequency of 455
KHz, amplitude of 1.15 V and DC offset of 0.0 V.

Semicolon (;)
It is used to separate several commands in the same subsystem and can also
minimize typing. For example, to send the following command string:

TRIG:SOUR EXT; COUNT 10

has the same effect as sending the following two commands:

TRIG:SOUR EXT
TRIG:COUNT 10

Question mark (?)

You can insert question marks into a command to query current values of most
Parameter. For example, the following commands will trigger to set the count as
10:

TRIG:COUN 10

Then, you may query count value by sending the following command:

TRIG:COUN?

You may also query the allowable minimum or maximum count as follows:

TRIG:COUN?MIN
TRIG:COUN?MAX

Comma (,)
If a command requires several Parameter, then a comma must be used to

Copyright© Itech Electronic Co., Ltd. 8

 SCPI Command Introduction

separate adjacent Parameter.

Space
You must use blank characters, [TAB] or [Space] to separate Parameter with
key words of commands.

Generic commands (*)

The IEEE-488.2 standard defines a set of common commands that perform
functions such as reset, self-test, and status operations. Generic commands
always start with a asterisk (*) and occupy 3 character sizes, including one or
more Parameter. Key words of a command and the first parameter are
separated by a space. Semicolon (;) can separate several commands as
follows:

*RST; *CLS; *ESE 32; *OPC?

Command terminator
Command strings sent to the instrument must end with a <Newline> (<NL>)
character. IEEE-488 EOI (End or Identify) information can be used as <NL>
character to replace termination command string of <NL> character. It is
acceptable to place one <NL> after a <Enter>. Termination of command string
always resets current SCPI command path to root level.

NOTE
As for every SCPI message with one query sent to the instrument, the
instrument will use a <NL> or newline sign (EOI) to terminate response of
return. For example, if "DISP:TEXT?" is sent, <NL> will be placed after
the returned data string to terminate response. If an SCPI message
includes several queries separated by semicolon (such as
"DISP?;DISP:TEXT?"), <NL> will terminate response returned after
response to the last query. In all cases, the program must read <NL> in
response before another command is sent to the instrument, otherwise
errors will be caused.

1.6 Data Type

SCPI language defines several data types used for program message and
response messages.

⚫ Numerical parameter

Commands requiring numerical parameter support the notations of all common

decimal notations, including optional signs, decimal points, scientific notation,

Copyright© Itech Electronic Co., Ltd. 9

 SCPI Command Introduction

etc. Special values of numerical parameter are also acceptable, such as MIN,
MAX and DEF. In addition, suffixes for engineering units can also be sent
together with numerical Parameter (including M, k, m or u). If the command
accepts only some specific values, the instrument will automatically round the
input parameter to acceptable values. The following commands require
numerical Parameter of frequency value:

[SOURce[1|2]:]FREQuency:CENTer {<Frequency>|MINimum|MAXimum}

 <NR1>: represents an integer value, such as 273;

 <NR2>: represents a real number in floating-point format, such as

0.273;

 <NR3>: represents a real number in scientific notation, such as

2.73E+2;
 <Nrf>:The extensible form includes <NR1>, <NR2> and <NR3>;
 <Nrf+>: The extensible decimal form includes <NRf> and MIN MAX
DEF, MIN and MAX represent the minimum and maximum finite
number. DEF is the default of the parameter.

⚫ Discrete parameter

Discrete Parameter are used for settings with limited number of programming
values (such as IMMediate, EXTernal or BUS). They can use short and long
format like key words of commands. They may be expressed in both upper and
lower case. The query response always returns uppercase Parameter in short
format. The following commands require discrete Parameter in voltage unit:

[SOURce[1|2]:]VOLTage:UNIT {VPP|VRMS|DBM}

⚫ Boolean parameter

Boolean Parameter refer to true or false binary conditions. In case of false

conditions, the instrument will accept "OFF" or "0". In case of true conditions,
the instrument will accept "ON" or "1". In query of Boolean settings, the
instrument will always return "0" or "1". Boolean Parameter are required by the
following commands:

DISPlay {OFF|0|ON|1}

⚫ ASCII string Parameter

String Parameter may actually include all ASCII character sets. Character
strings must start and end with paired quotation marks; and single quotation
marks or double quotation marks are both allowed. Quotation mark separators
may also act as one part of a string, they can be typed twice without any
character added between them. String parameter is used in the following
Copyright© Itech Electronic Co., Ltd. 10
 SCPI Command Introduction

command:

DISPlay:TEXT <quoted string>

For example, the following commands display message of "WAITING..."

(without quotation marks) on the front panel of the instrument.

DISP:TEXT "WAITING..."

Single quotation marks may also be used to display the same message.

DISP:TEXT 'WAITING...'

 <CPD>: character program data;

 <SPD>: string program data. String parameters enclosed in single or
double quotes.

1.7 Communication Interface

IT-M7700 have five standard communication interfaces: RS232, USB, GPIB,
LAN and CAN. The customer can choose any one according to his demands.

 Status Register

Chapter 2 Status Register

2.1 Status Register Definition

You can get the current status of the power supply by reading the status
registers. The power supply records the different status of the instrument
through the four status register group. The four status register groups are:
Questionable Status Register, Operation Status Register, Standard Event
Register and Status Byte Register. Status Byte Register records the
information of the other status register.

The following table describes the status signals.

BIT Signal Meaning

Operation Status Register
0 CAL The power supply is under calibration.
1 LIST The power supply is running the list program.
2 SURGE The power supply is waiting for a trigger.
3 DIMMER The power supply is running the surge trap.

SYSTem:ERRor?
This command is used to query the error information of the instrument. When
the ERROR indicator on the front panel is lit, it indicates that one or more errors
have occurred in the hardware or command syntax of the detected instrument.
Up to 20 sets of error messages can be stored in the error queue. This
command is sent once to read an error message from the error queue.

⚫ The front-panel ERROR annunciator turns on when one or more errors are
currently stored in the error queue. Error retrieval is first-in-first-out (FIFO),
and errors are cleared as you read them. When you have read all errors
from the error queue, the ERROR annunciator turns off.

⚫ If more than 20 errors have occurred, the last error stored in the queue (the
most recent error) is replaced with -350 ("Error queue overflow"). No
additional errors are stored until you remove errors from the queue. If no
errors have occurred when you read the error queue, the instrument
responds with +0 ("No error").

⚫ If the instrument is turned off or the *CLS (clear status) command is sent,
the error message in the error queue will be cleared. The *RST command
will not clear the error message in the error queue.

The error code and error information are as follows.

(0) No error
(-102) Syntax error
(-103) Invalid separator
(-108) Parameter not allowed
(-109) Missing parameter
(-113) Undefined header
(-131) Invalid suffix
(-138) Suffix not allowed
(-200) Execution Error
(-222) Data out of Range
(-350) Queue overflow

One cycle of the selfdefine waveform is composed of 1024 Vi, and the value of
each Vi ranges from -1 to 1. The AC voltage command of the power supply is
based on the effective value of the selfdefine waveform, so when using the
selfdefine waveform, the actual output voltage peak value will be adjusted
according to the priority of the selfdefine waveform effective value. Calculated
as follows:

Vrms(OUT) = |MAX(Vi)| * Vrms(SET)

Where:

⚫ Vrms(OUT) is the actual output voltage value of the power supply.

⚫ Vrms(SET) is the V-set value of the panel.

⚫ |MAX(Vi)| is the maximum absolute value of -1 to 1 within i = 1 to 1024
