Introduction
This section provides information for using the Model 2450 as a drop-in replacement in an existing
Model 2400 application.
It also provides information on converting existing Model 2400 SCPI code to Model 2450 SCPI code.
Using a Model 2450 in an existing Model 2400 application
You can use a Model 2450 in an existing Model 2400 application. However, because of updates to
the Model 2450, some Model 2400 options are no longer available or operate differently than they did
for earlier Series 2400 products. Also, you will not have access to the extended ranges and other
features that were introduced with the Model 2450.
This section details the differences between the 2400 SCPI command set that is available in the
Model 2450 and the SCPI command set that was available in previous Series 2400 products.
If a command is not listed in this section, you can use the command in the same way that you did for
the previous products.
Selecting the 2400 SCPI command set
The options discussed in the next few topics only apply if you have selected the 2400 SCPI command
set. You can select the 2400 SCPI command set from the front panel or over the remote interface.
After you change to the 2400 SCPI command set, you must reboot the instrument. The front panel
will prompt you to reboot, but remote commands will not.
Using the front panel:
1. Press the
MENU
key.
2. Under System, select
Settings
.
3. Next to Command Set, select the button.
4. Select
2400 SCPI
.
5. Select
HOME
to return to the operating display.
Using SCPI or TSP remote commands:
Send the command:
*lang SCPI2400
Reboot the instrument.
