 Remote Control

Chapter1 Remote Control

1.1 Overview
This chapter will provide following remote configuration introductions:
 SCPI Command Introduction
 Command type
 Command format
 Data format
 Remote Operation

1.2 SCPI Command Introduction

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.

1.3 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 overall.electronic load functions, such as reset, status, and
synchronization. All common commands consist of a three-letter mnemonic
preceded by an asterisk: *RST *IDN? *SRE 8.
 Subsystem commands perform specific electronic load functions. They are
organized into an inverted tree structure with the "root" at the top. The
following figure shows a portion of a subsyste command tree, from which
you access the commands located along the various paths.

 Remote Control

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
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.

 Remote Control

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 lower, for 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.
The command subsystem tables in Section 5 provide the in the
long-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.

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 electronic load. Otherwise a Query Interrupted error will occur and the
unreturned data will be lost.

1.4 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 electronic load.
The message, which may be sent at any time, requests the electronic load
to perform some action.
Copyright© Itech Electronics Co., Ltd. 3
 Remote Control

 response message: A response message consists of data in a specific

SCPI format sent from the electronic load to the controller. The electronic
load 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.
VOLTage 20<NL>

Headers
Headers, also referred to as keywords, are instructions recognized by the
electronic load. 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. It tells the command parser that this is the root or the top node of
the command tree.

Message Terminator
A terminator informs SCPI that it has reached the end of a message. Three
permitted message terminators are:
Copyright© Itech Electronics Co., Ltd. 4
 Remote Control

 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.

1.5 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

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

Sending a response message

Afte sending a query command, the response message is placed in the Output
Queue. When the IT8800 Series 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 (see
the paragraph entitled, “ Multiple Command Messages “), the multiple response
messages for all the queries is sent to the computer when the IT8800 Series 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>

 Remote Control

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.
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.1.
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.

1.6 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
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.
Copyright© Itech Electronics Co., Ltd. 6
 Remote Control

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
separate adjacent Parameter.

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

Generic commands (*)

Execute functions like reset, self inspection and status operation. 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.

 Remote Control

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.

1.7 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,
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>: There is an implicit decimal point in the last bit,such as 273
 <NR2>: There is an explicit decimal point,such as .273
 <NR3>: There are an explicit decimal point and exponential,such as
2.73E+22.73E+2
 <Nrf>:The extensible form includes <NR1>, <NR2> and <NR3>,such
as 273 273. 2.73E2273 273. 2.73E2
 <Nrf+>: The extensible decimal form includes <NRf> and MIN MAX
DEF, such as 273 273. 2.73E2 MAX. MIN and MAX are the minimum
and maximum finite number. Within the range of the parameter
definition, 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
Copyright© Itech Electronics Co., Ltd. 8
 Remote Control

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
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...'
