SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) is a a standard with particular relevance for OpenTAP and the ecosystem of instruments that it supports. SCPI defines an interface for controlling test and measurement devices. Introduced in 1990 as a layer on top of IEEE 488.2-1987, it provides commands for oscilloscopes, multimeters, spectrum analyzers, and power supplies.
Modern products and services are highly dependent upon the development and application of standards. Without the presence of and adherence to standards, software and systems could not interoperate – every piece of technology, down to basic nuts and bolts and nails used in construction, would be artisanal, raising costs and limiting utility.
Keysight customers, partners and members of the test and measurement ecosystem – anyone who needs a modern, mature and reusable test automation platform – should evaluate OpenTAP. It's easy-to-use, standards-based, modular and open source, with OEM-friendly licensing. It has a global ecosystem of users, integrators and other partners and is composed of high quality code.
