3.5.5. List of supported SCPI & API commands

Here is a list of all available SCPI, API, and JupyterLab commands. The commands are organized into tables by functionality. Each table row represents the same command in SCPI, Python API, C++ API, and JupyterLAB. The Jupyter commands are identical to Python API commands, so please refer to them. In the final two columns is a command description and ecosystem version in which the command first appeared.

At the beginning of each table are all command parameter options and available macros.

For API commands you can find a detailed description in these C++ header files:

• Red Pitaya GitHub API header files.
