Story

SCPI -Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments

First released in 1990
Defines a standard for syntax and commands to use in controlling programmable test and measurement devices, such as automatic test equipment and electronic test equipment.
SCPI commands are ASCII textual strings, which are sent to the instrument over the physical layer (e.g., IEEE-488.1)
It introduced generic commands (such as CONFigure and MEASure) that could be used with any instrument

Toolbox Required

Need to install Instrument Control Toolbox
You can run codes in the live script option

Analog Input
