Interface
Configuration
Before using remote operation, the interface must be configured
using the front panel user interface. See Configuring Remote
Control Interfaces for instructions on configuring the GPIB,
Ethernet, and RS-232 interfaces. Once configured, the 1258
accepts standard ASCII character strings for control and status
requests. The 1258 uses a SCPI type command structure and
format, though full SCPI compliance is not guaranteed.
Commands and
Queries
The <channel_list> parameter is a single input/output route
specification or a list of input/output routes separated by commas.
Each input/output route is specified by using the syntax:
<input_channel>!<output_channel>.
