Remote Operation via SCPI Commands

For automated or scripted operation the TT7000 can be controlled via SCPI text commands. 
The virtual COM port settings are 115200bps, 8 Data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. Commands 
should be terminated with a linefeed character.

*A great free terminal program for windows can be found here :
