FAQ
Find the answer to your questions
What Is SCPI and How Is It Used in Simulation SCPI Workflows?
SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) is a standardized command protocol for controlling test and measurement equipment. In a Simulation SCPI workflow, it enables seamless device communication through a universal command structure, especially useful in real-time testing environments like RT-LAB.
How Does OPAL-RT’s SCPI Driver Support SCPI Commands?
Our SCPI driver, included with RT-LAB, allows users to send and receive SCPI commands over TCP/IP to control programmable instruments. This simplifies integration into real-time simulation environments and supports automation in test setups.
Can I Use the SCPI Protocol with RT-LAB for Multi-Device Communication?
Yes, RT-LAB supports the SCPI protocol natively, enabling communication with multiple devices simultaneously. This is ideal for complex testing scenarios requiring synchronized control across several instruments using SCPI commands.
What Is a Simulateur SCPI and How Does It Work with RT-LAB?
A Simulateur SCPI refers to a test setup or tool that mimics SCPI-compatible instruments. Within RT-LAB, this allows developers to simulate SCPI interactions before deploying them to physical hardware, enhancing Simulation SCPI capabilities.
Which Port Is Used for SCPI Communication in RT-LAB?
The default TCP port for SCPI communication is 5025, as defined by the SCPI protocol standard. RT-LAB leverages this port to facilitate standardized device control in real-time simulation environments.
