Controlling the U3045AM04

GPIB Control Mode

The analyzer GPIB Command Processor feature allows you to send remote

commands and data to the analyzer rear-panel GPIB connector and Test Set

I/O connector. More information regarding the GPIB Command Processor can

be found in the analyzer’s Help menu.

— How to Access GPIB Command Processor
— GPIB Command Processor Console

Overview of the GPIB Control

The GPIB Command Processor allows you to send address and data to control

an external test set, without needing to create a remote program. The user is

required to manually input address and data using the GPIB Command

Processor Console in the analyzer’s Help menu.

— GPIB Command Processor settings can not be saved or recalled.
— Address and data can be written from the GPIB Command Processor.
