1 Introduction of the SCPI Language
1.1 About Commands & Queries
This section lists and describes the remote control commands and queries recognized by
the instrument. All commands and queries can be executed in either local or remote state.
Each command or query, with syntax and other information, has some examples listed.
The commands are given in both long and short format at “COMMAND SYNTAX”, and the
subject is indicated as a command or query or both. Queries perform actions such as
obtaining information, and are recognized by the question mark (?) following the header.
1.1.1 How They are Listed
The descriptions are listed in alphabetical order according to their short format.
1.1.2 How They are Described
In the descriptions themselves, a brief explanation of the function performed is given. This
is followed by a presentation of the formal syntax, with the header given in
Upper-and-Lower-Case characters and the short form derived from it in ALL
UPPER-CASE characters. Where applicable, the syntax of the query is given with the
format of its response.
1.1.3 When can They be Used
The commands and queries listed here can be used for SDGxxxx Series
Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators.
1.1.4 Command Notation
The following notations are used in the commands:

< > Angular brackets enclose words that are used as placeholders ,of which there are
two types: the header path and the data parameter of a command.
:= A colon followed by an equals sign separates a placeholder, from the description of
1
the type and range of values that may be used in a command instead of the
placeholder.
{} Braces enclose a list of choices, one of which must be made.
[] Square brackets enclose optional items.
… An ellipsis indicates that the items both to its left and right may be repeated for a
number of times.

1.3 IEEE 488.2 Common Command Introduction
IEEE standard defines the common commands used for

querying the basic information of the instrument or executing
basic operations. These commands usually start with "*" and
the length of the keywords of the command is usually 3
characters.
1.3.1 IDN
DESCRIPTION The *IDN? query causes the instrument to identify itself. The
response comprises manufacturer, model, serial number,
software version and firmware version.
QUERY SYNTAX *IDN?
3
RESPONSE FORMAT *IDN, <device id>,<model>,<serial number>,
<software version>, <firmware version>.
<device id>:=“SDG” is used to identify instrument.

<model>:= A model identifier less than 14 characters, should not
contain the word “MODEL”.
<serial number>:Each product has its own number, the serial
number can labeled product uniqueness.
<software version>:= A serial numbers about software version.
<firmware version>:=The firmware level field, should contain
information about all separately revisable subsystems. This
information can be contained in single or multiple revision codes.
EXAMPLE Reads version information.

*IDN?
Return:
*IDN SDG, SDG5162, 120465, 5.01.02.05, 02-00-00-21
-24(It may differ from each version)
Notes:
1)
Parameter/command SDG800 SDG1000 SDG2000X SDG5000
<firmware version> yes yes yes no
2) Explain for <firmware version>:value1- value2- value3- value4- value5.
value1: PCB version.
value2: Hardware version.
value3: Hardware subversion.
value4: FPGA version.
value5: CPLD version.
1.3.2 OPC
DESCRIPTION The *OPC (Operation Complete) command sets the OPC

bit (bit 0) in the standard Event Status Register (ESR).
This command has no other effect on the operation of the device
because the instrument starts parsing a command or query only
after it has completely processed the previous command or
query.
The *OPC? query always responds with the ASCII character 1
because the device only responds to the query when the
previous command has been entirely executed.
COMMAND SYNTAX *OPC
4
QUERY SYNTAX *OPC?
RESPONSE FORMAT *OPC 1
RELATED COMMANDS *WAI
1.3.3 CLS
DESCRIPTION The *CLS command clears all the status data registers.
COMMAND SYNTAX *CLS
EXAMPLE The following command causes all the status data registers to be
cleared:
*CLS
RELATED COMMANDS CMR, DDR, *ESR, *STB
1.3.4 ESE
DESCRIPTION The *ESE command sets the Standard Event Status Enable
register (ESE). This command allows one or more events in the
ESR register to be reflected in the ESB summary message bit
(bit 5) of the STB register.
The *ESE? query reads the contents of the ESE register.
COMMAND SYNTAX *ESE <value>

<value> : = 0 to 255.
QUERY SYNTAX *ESE?
RESPONSE FORMAT *ESE <value>
EXAMPLE The following instruction allows the ESB bit to be set if a user
request (URQ bit 6, i.e. decimal 64) and/or a device dependent
error (DDE bit 3, i.e. decimal 8) occurs. Summing these values
yields the ESE register mask 64+8=72.
*ESE?
Return:
5
*ESE 72
RELATED COMMANDS *ESR
1.3.5 ESR
DESCRIPTION The *ESR? query reads and clears the contents of the Event
Status Register (ESR). The response represents the sum of the
binary values of the register bits 0 to 7.
QUERY SYNTAX *ESR?
RESPONSE FORMAT *ESR <value>

<value> : = 0 to 255
EXAMPLE The following instruction reads and clears the content of the ESR
register:
*ESR?
Return：
*ESR 0
RELATED COMMANDS *CLS, *ESE
1.3.6 RST
DESCRIPTION The *RST command initiates a device reset. The *RST sets all of
traces to the GND line and recalls the default setup.
COMMAND SYNTAX * RST
EXAMPLE This example resets the signal generator:

*RST
1.3.7 SRE
DESCRIPTION The *SRE command sets the Service Request Enable register
(SRE). This command allows the user to specify which summary
message bit(s) in the STB register will generate a service
request.
6
A summary message bit is enabled by writing a ‘1’ into the
corresponding bit location. Conversely, writing a ‘0’ into a given
bit location prevents the associated event from generating a
service request (SRQ). Clearing the SRE register disables SRQ
interrupts.
The *SRE? query returns a value that, when converted to a
binary number represents the bit settings of the SRE register.
Note that bit 6 (MSS) cannot be set and it’s returned value is
always zero.
COMMAND SYNTAX *SRE <value>

<value> : = 0 to 255
QUERY SYNTAX *SRE?
RESPONSE FORMAT *SRE <value>
EXAMPLE The following instruction allows a SRQ to be generated as soon

as the MAV summary bit (bit 4, i.e. decimal 16) or the INB
summary bit (bit 0, i.e. decimal 1) in the STB register, or both are
set. Summing these two values yields the SRE mask 16+1 = 17.
*SRE?
Return:
*SRE 17
1.3.8 STB
DESCRIPTION The *STB? query reads the contents of the 488.2 defined status
register (STB), and the Master Summary Status (MSS).
The response represents the values of bits 0 to 5 and 7 of the
Status Byte register and the MSS summary message.
The response to a *STB? query is identical to the response of a
serial poll except that the MSS summary message appears in bit
6 in place of the RQS message.
UERY SYNTAX *STB?
RESPONSE FORMAT *STB <value>

<value> : = 0 to 255
EXAMPLE The following reads the status byte register:

*STB?
Return:
7
*STB 0
RELATED COMMANDS *CLS, *SRE
1.3.9 TST
DESCRIPTION The *TST? query performs an internal self-test and the response
indicates whether the self-test has detected any errors. The
self-test includes testing the hardware of all channels, the
time-base and the trigger circuits.
Hardware failures are identified by a unique binary code in the
returned <status> number. A “0” response indicates that no
failures occurred.
QUERY SYNTAX *TST?
RESPONSE FORMAT *TST <status>

<status> : = 0 self-test successful
EXAMPLE The following causes a self-test to be performed:
TST?
Return(if no failure):
*TST 0
RELATED COMMANDS *CAL
Note:
TST no yes yes yes
1.3.10 WAI
DESCRIPTION The *WAI (WAIT to continue) command, requires by the IEEE

488.2 standard, has no effect on the instrument, as the
signal generator only starts processing a command when the
previous command has been entirely executed.
COMMAND SYNTAX *WAI
RELATED COMMANDS *OPC
8
1.3.11 DDR
DESCRIPTION The DDR? query reads and clears the contents of the device
dependent or device specific error register (DDR). In case of a
hardware failure, the DDR register specifies the origin of the
failure.
QUERY SYNTAX DDR?
RESPONSE FORMAT DDR <value>

<value> : = 0 to 65535
EXAMPLE DDR?
Return:
DDR 0
The following table gives details：
Bit Bit Value Description

2 Programming Demos
2.1 Visual C++ Programming Demo
The program used in this demo: Microsoft Visual Studio 2003

The functions realized in this demo: use the NI-VISA to control the device with
USBTMC or TCP/IP access to do a write or read operation.
1. Open Visual Studio: create a new VC++ win32 console project.

2. Set the project environment to use the NI-VISA lib, there are two ways to use
the NI-VISA: static way and automatic way.
2.1 static way:
Find visa.h, visatype.h and visa32.lib files in NI-VISA install path. Copy
them to your project, and add them into the project. In C++ source file，add
the following two lines:
#include "visa.h"
#pragma comment (lib,"visa32.lib")
2.2 automatic way:
Let the head file include the NI-VISA install path. We can set the path
37
like: C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA\WinNT\include. Set this path to
Project---Properties---C/C++---General---Additional Include Directories. See
the picture below.
Set the lib path and file:

1) Set the lib path:
We can set the path: C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA\WinNT\lib\msc.
The path is your NI-VISA install path. Set this path to
Project---Properties---linker---general---Additional Library Directories. See
the picture below.
38
2) Set the lib file:

Project---Properties---Linker---Command Line---Additional Options:
visa32.lib. See the picture below.
Add the visa.h file into the project source file (xxx.cpp):
39
#include <visa.h>
3. Add your codes:
3.1 Include the header files:
#include "visa.h"
#pragma comment(lib,"visa32.lib") // static way
//#include <visa.h> // automatic way
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
3.2 USBTMC access code:
Write a function Usbtmc_test().
int Usbtmc_test()
{
ViSession defaultRM;
ViSession instr;
ViUInt32 numInstrs;
ViFindList findList;
ViUInt32 retCount;
ViUInt32 writeCount;

char instrResourceString[VI_FIND_BUFLEN];
unsigned char buffer[100];
char stringinput[512];
int i;
/*First we must call viOpenDefaultRM to get the manager

* handle. We will store this handle in defaultRM.
*/
status = viOpenDefaultRM (&defaultRM);
if (status < VI_SUCCESS)
{
printf ("Could not open a session to the VISA Resource
Manager!\n");
return status;
}
/* Find all the USBTMC VISA resources in our system and store the
number of resources in the system in numInstrs. */
status = viFindRsrc (defaultRM, "USB?*INSTR", &findList,
&numInstrs, instrResourceString);
{
40
printf ("An error occurred while finding resources.\nHit enter to
continue.");
fflush(stdin);
getchar();
viClose (defaultRM);
return status;
}
for (i=0; i<numInstrs; i++)

{
if (i > 0)
viFindNext (findList, instrResourceString);
status = viOpen (defaultRM, instrResourceString, VI_NULL,
VI_NULL, &instr);
{
printf ("Cannot open a session to the device %d.\n", i+1);
continue;

}
3.3 TCP/IP access code:

Write a function TCP_IP_Test(char* pIP).
int TCP_IP_Test (char* pIP)
{
char outputBuffer[VI_FIND_BUFLEN];
ViSession defaultRM, instr;
ViStatus status;
ViUInt32 count;
ViUInt16 portNo;
/* First we will need to open the default resource manager. */
status = viOpenDefaultRM (&defaultRM);
{
printf("Could not open a session to the VISA Resource
Manager!\n");
}
/* Now we will open a session via TCP/IP device */

char head[256] ="TCPIP0::";
char tail[] ="::INSTR";
char resource [256];
strcat(head,pIP);
strcat(head,tail);
status = viOpen (defaultRM, head, VI_LOAD_CONFIG, VI_NULL,
&instr);
{
printf ("An error occurred opening the session\n");
viClose(defaultRM);
}
status = viPrintf(instr, "*idn?\n");
status = viScanf(instr, "%t", outputBuffer);
42
{
printf("viRead failed with error code: %x \n",status);
viClose(defaultRM);
}else
printf ("\ndata read from device: %*s\n", 0,outputBuffer);
status = viClose (defaultRM);
return 0;
}
3.4 main access code:
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
printf ("please select the connect type ,input 1 for usbtmc,input 2 for
tcp/ip: ");
fflush (stdin);
int inputchar =getchar();
if(inputchar ==49)
{
Usbtmc_test();
}else if(inputchar ==50)
{
printf("please input tcp/ip address:");
char ip[256];
fflush(stdin);
gets(ip);
TCP_IP_Test(ip);
}
printf("Hit enter to continue.");
fflush(stdin);
getchar();
return 0;
}
4 Run the demo and get result:
Save, compile and run the project. When the instrument connects to the PC correctly, you
can choose USBTMC(1) or TCP/IP(2) to connect the instrument.
