Syntax

SCPI commands present a hierarchical tree structure and contain multiple sub-

systems, each of which is made up of a root keyword and one or more sub-

keywords. The command string usually starts with ":", the keywords are

separated by ":" and are followed by the parameter settings available, "?" is

added at the end of the command string to indicate query and the command

and parameter are separated by "space".

For example,

:TRIGger:AUTO:INTErval?

:TRIGger:AUTO:INTErval <value>

TRIGger is the root keyword of the command. AUTO and INTErval are the

second-level and third-level keywords respectively. The command string starts

with ":" which separates the multiple-level keywords. "?" represents query and

<value> represents parameters available for setting. The command

:TRIGger:AUTO:INTErval and parameter <value> are separated by "space".

The form of representation and the type of the parameter are different in

different commands. For detailed information, refer to the introductions in

Symbol Description and Parameter Type.

https://calibre-pdf-anchor.n/#Symbol%20Description.htm

https://calibre-pdf-anchor.n/#Parameter%20Type.htm

Symbol Description

1. Braces { }

The parameters enclosed in the braces are optional and are usually

separated by the vertical bar "|". When using the command, one of the

parameters must be selected. The braces are not sent with the command.

2. Vertical Bar |

The vertical bar is used to separate multiple parameters and one of the

parameters must be selected when using the command. The vertical bar is

not sent with the command.

3. Square Brackets [ ]

The content (parameter or keywords) in the square brackets can be omitted.

If the parameter is omitted, the instrument sets the parameter to its default

value. The square brackets are not sent with the command.

4. Triangle Brackets < >

The parameter enclosed in the triangle brackets must be replaced by an

effective value. The triangle brackets are not sent with the command.

Parameter Type

1. Bool

The parameter could be "OFF", "ON", "0" or "1". For example,

:CALCulate:PF:STATe <bool>

:CALCulate:PF:STATe?

Wherein,

<bool> can be set to {{0|OFF}|{1|ON}}

The query returns "0" or "1".

2. Discrete

The parameter should be one of the values listed. For example,

:CALCulate:FUNCtion <math>

:CALCulate:FUNCtion?

Wherein,

<math> can be set to NONE|REL|DB|DBM|MIN|MAX|AVERAGE|TOTAL|PF

The query returns "NONE", "REL", "DB", "DBM", "MIN", "MAX", "AVERAGE",

"TOTAL" or "PF".

3. Integer

Unless otherwise noted, the parameter can be any integer within the

effective value range. Note that do not set the parameter to a decimal,

otherwise errors will occur. For example,

:UTILity:INTErface:GPIB:ADDRess <gpib_addr>

:UTILity:INTErface:GPIB:ADDRess?

Wherein,

<gpib_addr> can be set to any integer between 0 and 30.

The query returns any integer between 0 and 30.

4. Real

The parameter can be any real number within the effective value range and

the real parameters can be decimal, scientific notation, MIN, MAX or DEF. For

example,

:CALCulate:DB:REFErence {<value>|MIN|MAX|DEF}

:CALCulate:DB:REFErence?

Wherein,

<value> can be set to any real number between -120 to +120 or be set to

MIN, MAX or DEF.

The query returns a real number in scientific notation.

5. ASCII String

The parameter should be the combinations of ASCII characters. For example,

:UTILity:INTErface:LAN:MASK <ip_address>

:UTILity:INTErface:LAN:MASK?

Wherein,

<ip_address> can be set to nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, wherein, nnn is any number

between 000 and 255.

The query returns ASCII character string.

Command Abbreviation

Since all commands are case-insensitive, you can use any of them. But if

abbreviation is used, all the capital letters in the command must be written

completely. For example,

:FUNCtion:RESistance

can be abbreviated to

:FUNC:RES

For commands containing number, the abbreviation rule is: input the

corresponding number after inputting all the capital letters. For example,

:FUNCtion2:VALUe1?

can be abbreviated to

:FUNC2:VALU1?

Command System

DM3068 digital multimeter supports RIGOL DM3068 command set and is

compatible with Agilent and Fluke command sets. Wherein, Agilent command

set contains Agilent34401A command set and its expanded command set; Fluke

command set refers to Fluke45 command set. You can use the CMDSet

command to switch among those command sets. For detailed method, refer to

CMDSet.

Command Set, Agilent Command Set or Fluke Command Set) is currently

selected. Common command set contains IEEE 488.2 common commands,

STATus commands and SYSTem commands. Besides, the CMDSet command used

to switch among those command sets is also included.

CMDSet

IEEE 488.2 Common Commands

STATus Common Commands Subsystem

SYSTem Common Commands Subsystem

A part of the commands in the common commands are mainly used to set,

query and operate the status register. The status register is composed of

Questionable Status Register, Operation Status Register, Standard Event Status

Register and Status Byte Register, as well as Output Buffer and Error Queue and

its principle is as shown in the figure below. Some commands in IEEE488.2 and

SYSTem subsystems can be used to perform corresponding operations on

Standard Event Status Register, Status Byte Register, Output Buffer and Error

Queue. Commands in STATus subsystem can be used to set and query

Questionable Status Register and Operation Status Register.

Description

This command enables or disables the auto zero function for DCI measurement.

The query command queries whether the auto zero function for DCI


Parameter

Name Type Range

<mode> Discrete{{0|OFF}|

{1|ON}|ONCE}

Explanation

When auto zero is enabled (ON|1), the multimeter internally disconnects the

input signal following each measurement, and takes a zero reading. It then

subtracts the zero reading from the preceding reading. This prevents offset

voltages present on the instrument's input circuitry from affecting measurement

accuracy.

When auto zero is disabled (OFF|0), the multimeter uses the last measured zero

reading and subtracts it from each measurement. It takes a new zero reading

each time you change the function, range, or integration time.

In single auto zero mode (ONCE), the multimeter takes one zero reading, and

then sets auto zero to off. The zero reading taken is subtracted from all

subsequent measurements.

Return Format

The query returns 1 (ON) or 0 (OFF|ONCE).

The command below disables auto zero function.

Programming Demos

This chapter lists some programming demos to illustrate how to use commands

to realize the common functions of the multimeter in the development

environments of Visual C++ 6.0 and Visual Basic 6.0 and LabVIEW 8.6. All

demos are based on VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture).

VISA is an API (Application Programming Interface) for controlling instruments. It

is convenient for users to develop testing applications which are independent of

the types of instrument and interface. Note the "VISA" mentioned here is NI

(National Instrument)-VISA. NI-VISA is an API written by NI based on VISA

standards. You can use NI-VISA to realize the communication between the

multimeter and the PC via instrument buses such as USB. As VISA has defined a

set of software commands, users can control the instrument without

understanding the working state of the interface bus. For more details, please

refer to NI-VISA.

Programming Preparations

1. First make sure your computer has installed the VISA library of NI (download it

from http://www.ni.com). Here, the default installation path is C:\Program

Files\IVI Foundation\VISA.

2. Here, the USB interface of the multimeter is used to communicate with the PC

and please use the USB data cable to connect the USB Device interface at the

rear panel of the multimeter to the USB interface of the PC. You can also use

LAN, RS232 or GPIB to communicate with PC. Note that the end mark of the

command sent through RS232 interface is "\r\n".

3. After successful connection, turn on the instrument. A "Found New Hardware

Wizard" dialog box appears on the PC at the first connection. Please follow the

instructions to install the "USB Test and Measurement Device".

By now, the preparations for programming are finished. In the following part,

detailed introductions are given about the programming demos in the Visual

C++ 6.0, Visual Basic 6.0 and LabVIEW 8.6 development environment.

1. This command sets the range and resolution to their default values when this

command are sent without parameters. This command allows to set the

parameter with unit and the default unit is "F" when the parameters are set

without unit.

2. This command only specifies parameter but does not initiate the

measurement.

Example

The command below sets the range and resolution for capacitance

measurement of the multimeter to their default values.
