GPIB Command Dictionary

This dictionary is arranged according to GPIB subsystem. Each 
subsystem contains syntax for a specific set of functions within the Test 
Set. 

For all intents and purposes, GPIB and HP-IB may be considered one 
and the same protocol throughout this manual. 

When using the electronic form of this guide, you can cut-and-paste the 
syntax into your programming code. It is set up especially for this 
purpose, and where possible, the syntax includes the limits or expected 
values for the command.

The typical format of each entry is as follows:

root:branch1:branch2:branch3:command parameter !limits

root:branch1:branch2:branch3:command ‘argument’

Commands separated by a vertical bar | are equivalent. For example,

for the command AFG2|ENCoder:AMPS:BUSY ‘Idle’, either 

AFG2:AMPS:BUSY ‘Idle’

       or

ENC:AMPS:BUSY ‘Idle’ 

will set the AMPS encoder to the idle state.

Commands enclosed in square brackets [ ] are optional. For example,

for the command AFG2|ENC:NAMP|NTAC[:FOCC]:AM 30 either 

AFG2:NAMP:FOCC:AM 30

       or

AFG2:NAMP:AM 30

will set the NAMPS encoder’s data level on the forward control channel 
to AM. (Other combinations are possible with the above command.)
