Keysight InfiniiVision M9241/42/43A PXIe Oscilloscopes SCPI Programmer's Guide 3
In This Book
This book is your guide to SCPI programming with the M9241/42/43A PXIe
oscilloscopes:
The first few chapters describe how to set up and get started:
•
Chapter 1 , “What's New,” starting on page 35, describes programming
command changes in the latest version of oscilloscope software.
• Chapter 2 , “Setting Up,” starting on page 47, describes the steps you must take
before you can program the oscilloscope.
• Chapter 3 , “Getting Started,” starting on page 53, gives a general overview of
oscilloscope program structure and shows how to program the oscilloscope
using a few simple examples.
• Chapter 4 , “Sequential (Blocking) vs. Overlapped Commands,” starting on page
65, describes these command types and how they affect the oscilloscope and
synchronization.
• Chapter 5 , “Commands Quick Reference,” starting on page 67, is a brief listing
of the M9241/42/43A PXIe oscilloscope commands and syntax.
The next chapters provide reference information on common commands, root level
commands, other subsystem commands, and error messages:
•
Chapter 6 , “Common (*) Commands,” starting on page 179, describes
commands defined by the IEEE 488.2 standard that are common to all
instruments.
• Chapter 7 , “Root (:) Commands,” starting on page 207, describes commands
that reside at the root level of the command tree and control many of the basic
functions of the oscilloscope.
• Chapter 8 , “:ACQuire Commands,” starting on page 247, describes commands
for setting the parameters used when acquiring and storing data.
• Chapter 9 , “:CALibrate Commands,” starting on page 269, describes utility
commands for determining the state of the calibration factor protection button.
• Chapter 10 , “:CHANnel<n> Commands,” starting on page 281, describes
commands that control all oscilloscope functions associated with individual
analog channels or groups of channels.
• Chapter 11 , “:COUNter Commands,” starting on page 305, describes
commands that control the counter analysis feature.
