content: During my Siglent FWs analyses I had the need to investigate some of the SCPI commands built-in in the equipments that were not listed/documented anywhere.Sometimes, having a quick look at the list of SCPI commands available may provide us with some ideas on what we can get from the equipment and how we can remotely interact with it.Attached I will include the list of commands I extracted from several Siglent equipments. If this can be useful for anyone else, cool.The SDS1000CML+/CNL+FW is specially usefull in understanding most of their behaviour and syntax. At the time, I only looked at the ones that interested me.Warning: They were extracted automatically so there may/must be a few errors, absences, etc, but they are the most accurate I could get.Many of them are documented throughout Siglent manuals (some more that others) but there are some interesting ones that aren't.Also, some lists include the GET ("?") and the SET versions of the command, others only have the generic command (there may exist both SET and GET versions).(work in progress...)

content: Does anyone have lists for newer/current models, such as the SDS2000X Plus or SDS2000X HD?In particular, are there any SCPI commands for controlling the power analysis system? I've searched Siglent's SCPI documentation, and I don't see any mention of it.

Firmware V1.5didadd the ability to read and write PA measurement types, but I couldn't find anything that allowed control of PA. Also, they mistakenly used "RPOWer" for both Real Power and Reactive Power, so you can only set Real Power.I'll follow up with bug reports/feature requests in theSDS2000X Plus bugs thread, and once I've distilled the list of undocumented commands I *did* find for the SDS2000X Plus, I'll add them to this thread.
