==Abbreviated commands==

About abbreviated commands:

Line 20 ⟶ 21:

Direct Sequence -> DSeqence -> DSEQ

Negative Transition -> NTranstion -> NTR

==Article name==

Someone needs to restore the mixed case naming, because their official name is "Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation (SCPI) Consortium", per http://www.ivifoundation.org/scpi/default.aspx • [[User:Sbmeirow|<span style="color:#8D38C9;">Sbmeirow</span>]] • [[User talk:Sbmeirow|<span style="color:#8D38C9;White;">Talk</span>]] • 21:04, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

:Why? The instruments are quite different in status from the title of the consortium. [[User:Tony1|<span style="color:darkgreen;">'''Tony'''</span>]] [[User talk:Tony1|<span style="color:darkgreen;">(talk) </span>]] 03:40, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

::The article is about the specification which has been around since the 1990s. It is capitalized, just like the consortium name. • [[User:Sbmeirow|<span style="color:#8D38C9;">Sbmeirow</span>]] • [[User talk:Sbmeirow|<span style="color:#8D38C9;White;">Talk</span>]] • 13:06, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

:::The IVI docs say both "Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation (SCPI) Consortium" and "Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI)". But it looks to me like SCPI is the official name, and the backronym is just that. And they call it a language, not a protocol. All very confusing.

== Concatenation format ==

In the concatenation examples the first "STOP" is not preceded by a colon: is this correct? [[User:MarkMLl|MarkMLl]] ([[User talk:MarkMLl|talk]]) 11:56, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

: I think it is correct. SCPI is layered on top of IEEE 488.2 protocol spec, where the semicolon ";" is briefly discussed. The one thing that I always hated about the SCPI spec is it should had a starting chapter that should have summarized various important aspects of the IEEE 488.2 spec. • [[User:Sbmeirow|<span style="color:#8D38C9;">Sbmeirow</span>]] • [[User talk:Sbmeirow|<span style="color:#8D38C9;White;">Talk</span>]] • 04:20, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

== parameter delimited by space ==

Specification that command is separated from parameter by space is from IEEE 488.2, the channel syntax, not from SCPI, the command syntax. IEEE 488.2 section 7.4.2, which is why it is not found anywhere at all in the SCPI document.
