15-20 Additional SCPI Commands
:KEY <NRf> command
:KEY
:SYSTem:KEY <NRf> Simulate key-press
Parameters
Description
This command is used to simulate front panel key presses. For example, to select RATIO you
can send the following command to simulate pressing the RATIO key:
:syst:key 4
The parameter listing provides the key-press code in numeric order. Figure 15-10 also
illustrates the key-press codes.
The queue for the :KEY? query command can only hold one key-press. When :KEY? is sent
over the bus, and the Model 2182 is addressed to talk, the key-press code number for the last key
pressed (either physically or with :KEY) is sent to the computer.
NOTE :SYST:KEY should not be used to put the Model 2182 into the local mode; use GTL
instead.
