Basic safety instructions
1. The product may be operated only under
the operating conditions and in the
positions specified by the manufacturer. Its
ventilation must not be obstructed during
operation. Unless otherwise specified, the
following requirements apply to
Rohde & Schwarz products:
prescribed operating position is always with
the housing floor facing down, IP protection
2X, pollution severity 2, overvoltage
category 2, use only in enclosed spaces,
max. operation altitude max. 2000 m.
Unless specified otherwise in the data
sheet, a tolerance of ±10% shall apply to
the nominal voltage and of ±5% to the
nominal frequency.
2. Applicable local or national safety
regulations and rules for the prevention of
accidents must be observed in all work
performed. The product may be opened
only by authorized, specially trained
personnel. Prior to performing any work on
the product or opening the product, the
1171.0000.42-02.00
product must be disconnected from the
supply network. Any adjustments,
replacements of parts, maintenance or
repair must be carried out only by technical
personnel authorized by Rohde & Schwarz.
Only original parts may be used for
replacing parts relevant to safety (e.g.
power switches, power transformers,
fuses). A safety test must always be
performed after parts relevant to safety
have been replaced (visual inspection, PE
conductor test, insulation resistance
measurement, leakage current
measurement, functional test).
3. As with all industrially manufactured goods,
the use of substances that induce an
allergic reaction (allergens, e.g. nickel)
such as aluminum cannot be generally
excluded. If you develop an allergic
reaction (such as a skin rash, frequent
sneezing, red eyes or respiratory
difficulties), consult a physician immediately
to determine the cause.
Sheet 2
Safety Instructions
4. If products/components are mechanically
and/or thermically processed in a manner
that goes beyond their intended use,
hazardous substances (heavy-metal dust
such as lead, beryllium, nickel) may be
released. For this reason, the product may
only be disassembled, e.g. for disposal
purposes, by specially trained personnel.
Improper disassembly may be hazardous to
your health. National waste disposal
regulations must be observed.
5. If handling the product yields hazardous
substances or fuels that must be disposed
of in a special way, e.g. coolants or engine
oils that must be replenished regularly, the
safety instructions of the manufacturer of
the hazardous substances or fuels and the
applicable regional waste disposal
regulations must be observed. Also
observe the relevant safety instructions in
the product documentation.
6. Depending on the function, certain products
such as RF radio equipment can produce
an elevated level of electromagnetic
radiation. Considering that unborn life
requires increased protection, pregnant
women should be protected by appropriate
measures. Persons with pacemakers may
also be endangered by electromagnetic
radiation. The employer is required to
assess workplaces where there is a special
risk of exposure to radiation and, if
necessary, take measures to avert the
danger.
7. Operating the products requires special
training and intense concentration. Make
certain that persons who use the products
are physically, mentally and emotionally fit
enough to handle operating the products;
otherwise injuries or material damage may
occur. It is the responsibility of the
employer to select suitable personnel for
operating the products.
8. Prior to switching on the product, it must be
ensured that the nominal voltage setting on
the product matches the nominal voltage of
the AC supply network. If a different voltage
is to be set, the power fuse of the product
may have to be changed accordingly.
9. In the case of products of safety class I with
movable power cord and connector,
operation is permitted only on sockets with
earthing contact and protective earth
connection.
1171.0000.42-02.00
10. Intentionally breaking the protective earth
connection either in the feed line or in the
product itself is not permitted. Doing so can
result in the danger of an electric shock
from the product. If extension cords or
connector strips are implemented, they
must be checked on a regular basis to
ensure that they are safe to use.
11. If the product has no power switch for
disconnection from the AC supply, the plug
of the connecting cable is regarded as the
disconnecting device. In such cases, it
must be ensured that the power plug is
easily reachable and accessible at all times
(length of connecting cable approx. 2 m).
Functional or electronic switches are not
suitable for providing disconnection from
the AC supply. If products without power
switches are integrated in racks or systems,
a disconnecting device must be provided at
the system level.
12. Never use the product if the power cable is
damaged. By taking appropriate safety
measures and carefully laying the power
cable, ensure that the cable cannot be
damaged and that no one can be hurt by
e.g. tripping over the cable or suffering an
electric shock.
13. The product may be operated only from
TN/TT supply networks fused with max.
16 A.
14. Do not insert the plug into sockets that are
dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all
the way into the socket. Otherwise this can
result in sparks, fire and/or injuries.
15. Do not overload any sockets, extension
cords or connector strips; doing so can
cause fire or electric shocks.
16. For measurements in circuits with voltages
Vrms > 30 V, suitable measures (e.g.
appropriate measuring equipment, fusing,
current limiting, electrical separation,
insulation) should be taken to avoid any
hazards.
17. Ensure that the connections with
information technology equipment comply
with IEC 950/EN 60950.
18. Never remove the cover or part of the
housing while you are operating the
product. This will expose circuits and
components and can lead to injuries, fire or
damage to the product.

Introduction/Brief Instructions
Remote Control
3.1 Introduction
The instrument is equipped with two IEC/IEEE bus interfaces according to standard IEC 625.1/IEEE
488.1 and two RS-232 interfaces.
Either the connector labeled SCPI IEC625 (the upper IEC/IEEE bus interface) or both of the RS-232
interfaces can be used for remote control of the instrument. In addition, the instrument is equipped with
an RSIB interface that allows instrument control by Visual C++ and Visual Basic programs
In certain operating modes (e.g. frequency conversion measurements), the instrument can control other
instruments which are connected to it as part of an IEC/IEEE bus chain via the connector labeled SCPI
SYSTEM BUS (the lower IEC/IEEE bus interface). The usage of this IEC/IEEE bus interface is
described in further detail in the relevant sections of the operating manual.
The instrument supports the SCPI version 1994.0 (Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments). The SCPI standard is based on standard IEEE 488.2 and aims at the standardization of
device-specific commands, error handling and the status registers (see Section 3.5.1, SCPI
Introduction).
This section assumes basic knowledge of IEC-bus programming and operation of the controller. A
description of the interface commands is to be obtained from the relevant manuals. The RSIB interface
functions are matched to the function interface for IEC/IEEE-bus programming from National
Instruments. The functions supported by the DLLs are listed in annex A.
The requirements of the SCPI standard placed on command syntax, error handling and configuration of
the status registers are explained in detail in the respective sections. Tables provide a fast overview of
the commands implemented in the instrument and the bit assignment in the status registers. The tables
are supplemented by a comprehensive description of every command and the status registers.
The program examples for IEC/IEEE bus programming are all written in Quick BASIC.
3.2 Brief Instructions
The short and simple operating sequence given below permits fast putting into operation of the
instrument and setting of its basic functions. As a prerequisite, the IEC/IEEE bus address, which is
factory-set to 20, must not have been changed.
1. Connect instrument and controller using IEC/IEEE bus cable.
2. Write and start the following program on the controller:
CALL IBFIND("DEV1", analyzer%)
CALL IBPAD(analyzer%, 20)
’address
CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "*RST;*CLS")
CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "FREQ:CENT 100MHz")
CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "FREQ:SPAN 10MHz")
’Open port to the instrument
’Inform controller about instrument
’Reset instrument
’Set center frequency to 100 MHz
’Set span to 10 MHz
The instrument now performs a sweep in the frequency range of 95 MHz to 105 MHz.
3. To return to manual control, press the LOCAL key at the front panel

as soon as it receives an addressed command from a controller.
During remote control, operation via the front panel is disabled. The instrument remains in the remote
state until it is reset to the manual state via the front panel or via remote control interfaces. Switching
from manual operation to remote control and vice versa does not affect the remaining instrument
settings.

To access the measuring instruments via the RSIB interface the DLLs should be installed in the
corresponding directories:
• RSIB.DLL in Windows NT system directory or control application directory.
• RSIB32.DLL in Windows NT system32 directory or control application directory.
On the measuring instrument the DLL is already installed in the corresponding directory.
The control is performed with Visual C++ or Visual Basic programs. The local link to the internal
controller is established with the name ’@local’.If a remote controller is used, the instrument IP address
is to be indicated here.
Via VisualBasic:

Unix Environment
In order to access the measuring equipment via the RSIB interface, copy the librsib.so.X.Y file to a
directory for which the control application has read rights. X.Y in the file name indicates the version
number of the library, for example 1.0.
The librsib.so.X.Y library is created as a shared library. The applications using the library have
nothing to do with versions. They simply link the library with the lrsib option. The following instructions
have to be observed so that linking can be successfully performed and the library can be found during
the program run:
File link:
• Use the operating system command In to create a file with the link name librsib.so and pointing
to librsib.so.X.Y in a directory for which the control application has read rights. Example:
$ ln –s /usr/lib/librsib.so.1.0 /usr/lib/librsib.so
Linker options for creating applications:
• -lrsib : import library
•
-Lxxx : path information where the import library can be found. This is where the above file link has
been created. Example: -L/usr/lib.
Additional linker options for creating applications (only under Solaris):
• -Rxxx: path information where the library is searched for during the program run:
-R/usr/lib.
Run-time environment:
• Set environment variable LD_RUN_PATH to the directory in which the file link has been created. This
is necessary only if librsib.so cannot be found in the standard search path of the operating
system and the -R linker option (only Solaris) was not specified.
For C/C++ programming, the declarations of the library functions and the definition of error codes are
contained in:

Messages
ZVx
3.4 Messages
The messages transferred via the data lines of the IEC bus or via the RSIB Interface (see annex A) can
be divided into two groups:
– interface messages and
– device messages.
For the RS-232 interface, no interface messages are defined.
3.4.1
IEC/IEEE bus Interface Messages
Interface messages are transferred on the data lines of the IEC bus, the "ATN" control line being active.
They are used for communication between controller and instrument and can only be sent by a
controller which has the IEC/IEEE bus control. Interface commands can be subdivided into
– universal commands and
– addressed commands.
Universal commands act on all devices connected to the IEC bus without previous addressing,
addressed commands only act on devices previously addressed as listeners. The interface messages
relevant to the instrument are listed in annex A.
Some control characters are defined for the control of the RS-232-interface (see annex A).
3.4.2
RSIB Interface Messages
The RSIB interface enables the instrument to be controlled by Windows applications. The interface
functions are matched to the function interface for IEC/IEEE-bus programming from National
Instruments.
The functions supported by interface are listed in annex A.

Device Messages (Commands and Device Responses)
Device messages are transferred on the data lines of the IEC bus, the "ATN" control line not being
active. ASCII code is used. The device messages are more or less equal for the 2 interfaces (IEC/IEEE
bus and RS-232).
A distinction is made according to the direction in which they are sent on the IEC bus:
– Commands
are messages the controller sends to the instrument. They operate the device
functions and request informations.
The commands are subdivided according to two criteria::
1. According to the effect they have on the instrument:
Setting commands
cause instrument settings such as reset of the
instrument or setting the center frequency.
Queries
cause data to be provided for output on the IEC/IEEE
bus, e.g. for identification of the device or polling the
marker.
2. According to their definition in standard IEEE 488.2:
Common Commands
Device-specific
commands
are exactly defined as to their function and
notation in standard IEEE 488.2. They refer to
functions such as management of the standar-dized
status registers, reset and selftest.
refer to functions depending on the features of the
instrument such as frequency setting. A majority of
these commands has also been standardized by the
SCPI committee (cf. Section 3.5.1).
– Device responses are messages the instrument sends to the controller after a query. They can
contain measurement results, instrument settings and information on the
instrument status (cf. Section 3.5.4).
Structure and syntax of the device messages are described in Section 3.5. The commands are listed
and explained in detail in Section 3.6.

SCPI Introduction
ZVx
SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) describes a standard command set for
programming instruments, irrespective of the type of instrument or manufacturer. The goal of the SCPI
consortium is to standardize the device-specific commands to a large extent. For this purpose, a model
was developed which defines the same functions inside a device or for different devices. Command
systems were generated which are assigned to these functions. Thus it is possible to address the same
functions with identical commands. The command systems are of a hierarchical structure.
Fig. 3-1 illustrates this tree structure using a section of command system SENSe, which controls devicespecific settings. The other examples concerning syntax and structure of the commands are derived
from this command system.
SCPI is based on standard IEEE 488.2, i.e. it uses the same syntactic basic elements as well as the
common commands defined in this standard. Part of the syntax of the device responses is defined with
greater restrictions than in standard IEEE 488.2 (see Section "Responses to Queries").
3.5.2
Structure of a Command
The commands consist of a so-called header and, in most cases, one or more parameters. Header and
parameter are separated by a "white space" (ASCII code 0 to 9, 11 to 32 decimal, e.g. blank). The
headers may consist of several key words. Queries are formed by directly appending a question mark to
the header.
Note:
The commands used in the following examples are not in every case implemented in the
instrument.
Common commands
Common commands consist of a header preceded by an asterisk "*"
and one or several parameters, if any.
Examples:
1043.0009.50
*RST
RESET, resets the device
*ESE 253 EVENT STATUS ENABLE, sets the bits of
the event status enable register
*ESR?
EVENT STATUS QUERY, queries the
contents of the event status register.

Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages
Device-specific commands
Hierarchy:
Device-specific commands are of hierarchical structure (see Fig. 3-1).
The different levels are represented by combined headers. Headers of
the highest level (root level) have only one key word. This key word
denotes a complete command system.
Example:
This key word denotes the command system
SENSe.
SENSe
For commands of lower levels, the complete path has to be specified,
starting on the left with the highest level, the individual key words being
separated by a colon ":".
Example:
SENSe:FREQuency:SPAN 100E6
This command lies in the fourth level of the SENSe system. It
determines which parameter remains unchanged when the span is
changed. If LINK is set to STARt, the values of CENTer and STOP are
adjusted when the span is changed.
SENSe
BANDwidth
STARt
FREQuency
CENTer
STOP
SPAN
Fig. 3-1Tree structure of the SCPI command systems: The SENSe system
Some key words occur in several levels within one command system. Their
effect depends on the structure of the command, that is to say, at which
position in the header of a command they are inserted.
Example: SOURce:FM:POLarity NORMal
This command contains key word POLarity in the third
command level. It defines the polarity between modulator and
modulation signal.
SOURce:FM:EXTernal:POLarity NORMal
This command contains key word POLarity in the fourth
command level. It defines the polarity between modulation
voltage and the resulting direction of the modulation only for the
external signal source indicated.

E-15
Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages
Optional key words:
ZVx
Some command systems permit certain key words to be optionally inserted
into the header or omitted. These key words are marked by square
brackets in the description. The full command length must be recognized
by the instrument for reasons of compatibility with the SCPI standard.
Some commands are considerably shortened by omitting these optional
key words.
Example: [SENSe]:BANDwidth[:RESolution]:AUTO
This command couples the resolution bandwidth of the
instrument to other parameters. The following command has
the same effect:
BANDwidth:AUTO
Note:
Long and short form:
Parameters:
An optional key word must not be omitted if its effect is specified
in detail by a numeric suffix.
The key words feature a long form and a short form. Either the short form
or the long form can be entered, other abbreviations are not permissible.
Beispiel:
STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle 1= STAT:QUES:ENAB 1
Note:
The short form is marked by upper-case letters, the long form
corresponds to the complete word. Upper-case and lower-case
notation only serve the above purpose, the instrument itself
does not make any difference between upper-case and lowercase letters.
The parameter must be separated from the header by a "white space". If
several parameters are specified in a command, they are separated by a
comma ",". A few queries permit the parameters MINimum, MAXimum and
DEFault to be entered. For a description of the types of parameter, refer to
Section 3.5.5.
Example: SENSe:FREQuency:STOP? MAXimum
Response: 3.5E9
This query requests the maximal value for the stop frequency.
Numeric suffix:
If a device features several functions or features of the same kind, e.g.
inputs, the desired function can be selected by a suffix added to the command. Entries without suffix are interpreted like entries with the suffix 1.
Example:. SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial2:BAUD 9600
This command sets the baudrate of the second serial interface.

3.5.3
Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages
Structure of a Command Line
A command line may consist of one or several commands. It is terminated by a , a with EOI or an EOI together with the last data byte. Quick BASIC automatically produces an EOI
together with the last data byte.
Several commands in a command line are separated by a semicolon ";". If the next command belongs
to a different command system, the semicolon is followed by a colon.
Example:
CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer 100MHz;:INPut:ATTenuation 10")
This command line contains two commands. The first command is part of the SENSe
system and is used to specify the center frequency of the analyzer. The second command
is part of the INPut system and sets the attenuation of the input signal.
If the successive commands belong to the same system, having one or several levels in common, the
command line can be abbreviated. To this end, the second command after the semicolon starts with the
level that lies below the common levels (see also Fig. 3-1). The colon following the semicolon must be
omitted in this case.
Example:
CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "SENSe:FREQuency:STARt 1E6;:SENSe:FREQuency:STOP 1E9")
This command line is represented in its full length and contains two commands separated
from each other by the semicolon. Both commands are part of the SENSe command
system, subsystem FREQuency, i.e. they have two common levels.
When abbreviating the command line, the second command begins with the level below
SENSe:FREQuency. The colon after the semicolon is omitted.
The abbreviated form of the command line reads as follows:
CALL IBWRT(analyzer%,
"SENSe:FREQuency:STARt 1E6;STOP 1E9")
However, a new command line always begins with the complete path.
Example:
CALL IBWRT(analyzer%,
CALL IBWRT(analyzer%,
3.5.4
Responses to Queries
"SENSe:FREQuency:STARt 1E6")
"SENSe:FREQuency:STOP 1E9")
A query is defined for each setting command unless explicitly specified otherwise. It is formed by adding
a question mark to the associated setting command. According to SCPI, the responses to queries are
partly subject to stricter rules than in standard IEEE 488.2.
1 The requested parameter is transmitted without header.
Example:
DISPlay:FORMat:TRAce:Y:SPACing?
Response: LIN
2. Maximum values, minimum values and all further quantities, which are requested via a special text
parameter are returned as numerical values.
Example:
SENSe:FREQuency:STOP? MAX
Response: 4E9
3. Numerical values are output without a unit. Physical quantities are referred to the basic units or to the
units set using the Unit command.
Example:
SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer?
Response: 1E6 for 1 MHz
4. Truth values are returned as 0 (for OFF) and 1 (for ON).
Example:

Parameters
Most commands require a parameter to be specified. The parameters must be separated from the
header by a "white space". Permissible parameters are numerical values, Boolean parameters, text,
character strings and block data. The type of parameter required for the respective command and the
permissible range of values are specified in the command description (see Section 3.6).
Numerical values
Numerical values can be entered in any form, i.e. with sign, decimal point and
exponent. Values exceeding the resolution of the instrument are rounded up or
down. The allowed range is –9.9E37 to +9.9E37. The exponent is introduced
by an "E" or "e". Entry of the exponent alone is not permissible. In the case of
physical quantities, the unit can be entered. Permissible unit prefixes are G
(giga), MA (mega), MOHM and MHZ are also permissible), K (kilo), M (milli), U
(micro) and N (nano). It the unit is missing, the basic unit is used.
Example:
SENSe:FREQuency:STOP 1.5GHz = SENSe:FREQuency:STOP 1.5E9
Special numerical
The texts MINimum, MAXimum, DEFault, UP and DOWN are interpreted as
valuesspecial numerical values.
In the case of a query, the numerical value is provided.
Example: Setting command: SENSe:FREQuency:STOP MAXimum
Query:
SENSe:FREQuency:STOP? Response: 3.5E9
MIN/MAX
MINimum and MAXimum denote the minimum and maximum value.
DEF
DEFault denotes a preset value which has been stored in the EPROM. This
value conforms to the default setting, as it is called by the *RST command
UP/DOWN
UP, DOWN increases or reduces the numerical value by one step. The step
width can be specified via an allocated step command (see annex C, List of
Commands) for each parameter which can be set via UP, DOWN.
INF/NINF
INFinity, Negative INFinity (NINF) Negative INFinity (NINF) represent the
numerical values -9.9E37 or 9.9E37, respectively. INF and NINF are only sent
as device reponses.
NAN
Not A Number (NAN) represents the value 9.91E37. NAN is only sent as
device response. This value is not defined. Possible causes are the division of
zero by zero, the subtraction of infinite from infinite and the representation of
missing values.
Boolean Parameters
Boolean parameters represent two states. The ON state (logically true) is
represented by ON or a numerical value unequal to 0. The OFF state (logically
untrue) is represented by OFF or the numerical value 0. 0 or 1 is provided in a
query.
Example:
Setting command: DISPlay:WINDow:TRACe:STATe ON

Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages
Text
Text parameters observe the syntactic rules for key words, i.e. they can be
entered using a short or long form. Like any parameter, they have to be
separated from the header by a white space. In the case of a query, the short
form of the text is provided.
Example: Setting command: INPut:COUPling
Query:
INPut:COUPling?
Strings
GROund
Response GRO
Strings must always be entered in quotation marks (’ or ").
Example: SYSTem:LANGuage "SCPI"
SYSTem:LANGuage ’SCPI’
Block data
or
Block data are a transmission format which is suitable for the transmission of
large amounts of data. A command using a block data parameter has the
following structure:
Example: HEADer:HEADer #45168xxxxxxxx
ASCII character # introduces the data block. The next number indicates how
many of the following digits describe the length of the data block. In the example
the 4 following digits indicate the length to be 5168 bytes. The data bytes follow.
During the transmission of these data bytes all End or other control signs are
ignored until all bytes are transmitted. Data elements comprising more than one
byte are transmitted with the byte being the first which was specified by SCPI
command "FORMat:BORDer".

Overview of Syntax Elements
The following survey offers an overview of the syntax elements.
:
The colon separates the key words of a command.
In a command line the separating semicolon marks the uppermost
command level.
;
The semicolon separates two commands of a command line.
It does not alter the path.
,
The comma separates several parameters of a command.
?
The question mark forms a query.
*
The asterisk marks a common command.
"
Double or single quotation marks introduce a string and terminate it.
’
#
The double dagger # introduces block data.
A "white space" (ASCII-Code 0 to 9, 11 to 32 decimal, e.g. blank) separates
header and parameter.

Description of Commands
3.6.1
Notation
In the following sections, all commands implemented in the instrument are first listed in tables and then
described in detail, separated according to the command system. The notation corresponds to the one
of the SCPI standards to a large extent. The SCPI conformity information can be taken from the
individual description of the commands.
Table of Commands
Command:
In the command column, the table provides an overview of the commands
and their hierarchical arrangement (see indentations).
Parameter:
In the parameter column the requested parameters are indicated together
with their specified range.
Unit:
Remark:
Indentations
The unit column indicates the basic unit of the physical parameters.
In the remark column an indication is made on:
– whether the command does not have a query form,
– whether the command has only one query form,
– whether this command is implemented only with a certain option of the
instrument.
The different levels of the SCPI command hierarchy are represented in the
table by means of indentations to the right. The lower the level is, the
farther the indentation to the right is. Please observe that the complete
notation of the command always includes the higher levels as well.
Example: SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer is represented in the table as
follows:
SENSe
:FREQuency
:CENTer
first level
second level
third level
In the individual description, the hierarchy is represented in the
corresponding way. That is to say, for each command all key words above
up to the left-hand margin must be considered. An example for each
command is written out at the end of the individual description.
Upper/lower case notation Upper /lower case letters serve to mark the long or short form of the key
words of a command in the description (see Section 3.5.2). The instrument
itself does not distinguish between upper and lower case letters.

Description of Commands
Special characters
|
A selection of key words with an identical effect exists for several
commands. These key words are indicated in the same line, they are
separated by a vertical stroke. Only one of these key words has to be
indicated in the header of the command. The effect of the command is
independent of which of the key words is indicated.
Example:SENSe:FREQuency:CW|:FIXed
The two following commands of identical meaning can be
formed. They set the frequency of the constantly frequent signal
to 1 kHz:
SENSe:FREQuency:CW 1E3 = SENSe:FREQuency:FIXed 1E3
A vertical stroke in indicating the parameters marks alternative possibilities
in the sense of "or". The effect of the command is different, depending on
which parameter is entered.
Example:Selection of the parameters for the command
CALC:FORM
MAGN | PHAS
MAGN: Level values will be indicated
PHAS: Phase values will be indicated
[ ]
Key words in square brackets can be omitted when composing the header
(cf. Section 3.5.2, Optional Keywords). The full command length must be
accepted by the instrument for reasons of compatibility with the SCPI
standards.
Parameters in square brackets can optionally be incorporated in the
command or omitted as well.
{ }
Parameters in braces can optionally be incorporated in the command either
not at all, once or several times.
Description of parameters Due to the standardization, the parameter section of SCPI commands
consists always of the same syntactical elements. SCPI has specified a
series of definitions therefore, which are used in the tables of commands.
In the tables, these established definitions are indicated in angled brackets
(<...>) and will be briefly explained in the following (see also Section 3.5.5,
"Parameters").
1043.0009.50
This indication refers to parameters which can adopt two states, "on" and
"off". The "off" state may either be indicated by the keyword OFF or by the
numeric value 0, the "on" state is indicated by ON or any numeric value
other than zero. Parameter queries are always returned the numeric value
0 or 1.

Description of Commands
ZVx
These indications mark parameters which may be entered as numeric
values or be set using specific keywords (character data).
The keywords given below are permitted:
MINimum This keyword sets the parameter to the smallest possible
value.
MAXimum This keyword sets the parameter to the largest possible value.
DEFault
This keyword is used to reset the parameter to its default
value.
UP
This keyword increments the parameter value.
DOWN
This keyword decrements the parameter.
The numeric values associated to MAXimum/MINimum/DEFault can be
queried by adding the corresponding keywords to the command. They
must be entered following the quotation mark.
Example:SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer? MAXimum
returns the maximum possible numeric value of the center frequency as
result.
This keyword is provided for commands the parameters of which consist of
a binary data block.

Common Commands
ZVx
*CAL?
CALIBRATION QUERY triggers a calibration of the instrument and subsequently query the
calibration status. Any responses > 0 indicate errors.
*CLS
CLEAR STATUS sets the status byte (STB), the standard event register (ESR) and the EVENt-part
of the QUEStionable and the OPERation register to zero. The command does not alter the mask and
transition parts of the registers. It clears the output buffer.
*ESE 0...255
EVENT STATUS ENABLE sets the event status enable register to the value indicated. Query *ESE?
returns the contents of the event status enable register in decimal form.
*ESR?
STANDARD EVENT STATUS QUERY returns the contents of the event status register in decimal
form (0 to 255) and subsequently sets the register to zero.
*IDN?
IDENTIFICATION QUERY queries the instrument identification.
The device response is for example: "Rohde&Schwarz, ZVxx, 123456/001, 1.03"
ZVxx
= Device
123456/001 = serial number
1.03
= Firmware versions number
*IST?
INDIVIDUAL STATUS QUERY returns the contents of the IST flag in decimal form (0 | 1). The
IST flag is the status bit which is sent during a parallel poll (cf. Section 3.8.3.2).
*OPC
OPERATION COMPLETE sets bit 0 in the event status register when all preceding commands have
been executed. This bit can be used to initiate a service request (cf. Section 3.7).
*OPC?
OPERATION COMPLETE QUERY writes message "1" into the output buffer as soon as all
preceding commands have been executed (cf. Section 3.7).
*OPT?
OPTION IDENTIFICATION QUERY queries the options included in the instrument and returns a list
of the options installed. The options are separated from each other by means of commas.
*PCB 0 to 30
PASS CONTROL BACK indicates the controller address which the IEC-bus control is to be returned
to after termination of the triggered action.

Common Commands
*PRE 0 to 255
PARALLEL POLL REGISTER ENABLE sets parallel poll enable register to the value indicated.
Query *PRE? returns the contents of the parallel poll enable register in decimal form.
*PSC 0 | 1
POWER ON STATUS CLEAR determines whether the contents of the ENABle registers is
maintained or reset in switching on.
*PSC = 0
causes the contents of the status registers to be maintained. Thus a service request
can be triggered in switching on in the case of a corresponding configuration of status
registers ESE and SRE.
*PSC = 0
resets the registers.
Query *PSC? reads out the contents of the power-on-status-clear flag. The response can be 0 or 1.
*RST
RESET sets the instrument to a defined default status. The command essentially corresponds to
pressing the [PRESET] key. The default setting is indicated in the description of the commands.
*SRE 0 to 255
SERVICE REQUEST ENABLE sets the service request enable register to the value indicated. Bit 6
(MSS mask bit) remains 0. This command determines under which conditions a service request is
triggered. Query *SRE? reads the contents of the service request enable register in decimal form. Bit
6 is always 0.
*STB?
READ STATUS BYTE QUERY reads out the contents of the status byte in decimal form.
*TRG
TRIGGER triggers all actions waiting for a trigger event (cf. Section "TRIGger subsystem", as well).
*TST?
SELF TEST QUERY triggers all self tests of the instrument and outputs an error code in decimal
form.
*WAI
WAIT-to-CONTINUE only permits the servicing of the subsequent commands after all preceding
commands have been executed and all signals have settled (cf. Section 3.7 and "*OPC" as well).

ASCII
conforming
Either the ASCII or REAL data format can be selected. ASCII data are transmitted in plain text with
commas used as separators. REAL data are transmitted as 32- or 64-bit IEEE 754 floating-point
numbers using definite length blocks.
Results are transmitted as S-parameters or ratios of wave quantities in real and imaginary part
representation. For a sweep with 401 test points, therefore, 802 values are transmitted separated by
commas.
If the format ”FORM REAL, 32” is selected for the above example, the data stream from the analyzer to
the controller is as follows:
#432085334.....
||| ||
|||..|From here follow the data bytes of the data block, here 5334
||Number of bytes of data block stated in ASCII plain text, here 3208
|ASCII byte stating the length of the subsequent length counter, here 4
Head marker of binary data stream
For this example, the number of transmitted data bytes is as follows:
Number = number of test points * bytes/value * 2
3208
= 401
*4
*2
The factor of two takes into account that the result is represented as a complex variable.

MMEMory Subsystem
The MMEMory (mass memory) subsystem provides the commands which allow for access to the
storage media of the instrument and for storing and loading various instrument settings.
The NAMe command stores the HCOPy outputs in a file.
The various drives can be addressed via the mass storage unit specifier using the conventional
DOS syntax. The internal hard disk is addressed by "C:", the floppy-disk drive installed by "A:".
The file names are specified as string parameters with the commands being enclosed in
quotation marks. They are written according to the ordinary DOS conventions:
DOS file names consist of max. 8 ASCII characters and an extension of up to three characters
separated from the file name by a colon "." Both the colon and the extension are optional. The colon is
not part of the file name. DOS file names do not differ between uppercase and lowercase notation. All
letters and digits are permitted as well as the special characters "_", "^", "$", "~", "!", "#", "%", "&", "-", "{",
"}", "(", ")", "@" and "‘ ". Reserved file names are CLOCK$, CON, AUX, COM1 to COM4, LPT1 to LPT3,
NUL and PRN.
The two characters "*" and "?" have the function of so-called "wildcards", i.e., they are variables for
selection of several files. The question mark "?" replaces exactly one character which may be any, the
asterisk means any of the remaining characters in the file name. "*.*" thus means all files in a directory.
