About Section 6
Section 6 describes the environment in which the Model 9100 will operate in remote
applications, using the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments)
language, within the IEEE-488.1 remote interface. In Section 6 we shall show how the
9100 adopts the IEEE-488.2 message-exchange model and reporting structure, and
define the SCPI commands and syntax used to control the 9100. Section 6 is divided into
the following sub-sections:
