Can I use Command Expert with non-Keysight instruments?

Yes, you can use Command Expert with any SCPI instrument that follows the SCPI-99 standard, using the "Generic SCPI-99 Instrument" command set. This command set only provides commands that are common to SCPI-99 instruments. However, you can use direct commands to send additional SCPI commands that aren't in the "Generic SCPI-99 Instrument" command set. Using direct commands, you can send any SCPI command to any SCPI instrument. For instruments that do not understand the “SYST:ERR?” query you can use the “Generic SCPI-99 Instrument No Error Checking” command set.

You can also use any vendor's IVI-COM, IVI-C, or IVI.NET driver to control an instrument in Command Expert.
