Final operation with ArbDetector allows testing communications with
your instrument. If you click on the Communication… tab, it will ap-
pear as shown in Figure 2-29 will show. The Command Editor field
lets you write SCPI commands that control instrument functions and
parameters. SCPI programming is covered in Chapter 4 of this man-
ual. Connect your instrument to an oscilloscope and try these simple
commands just to see you’re your instrument responds correctly:
OUTPUT ON
// will turn on your output and sinewave will be
FREQUENCY 2e6
// will change output frequency to 2 MHz
VOLT 5
// will change output amplitude to 5 Vp-p
If you are not sure about the commands and want the Command
Editor to alert on errors, check the Add “SYST:ERR?” Query option.
If you make any syntax errors, the errors are displayed in the Re-
sponse field. The example in Figure 2-28 shows 0, “No error”. Differ-
ent digits and error description will be the response if you make er-
rors.
