Sample Program Commands
Several remote-operation task scenarios are provided that illustrate how to
control the 5071A from a terminal with SCPI commands (Standard Commands
for Programmable Instruments). The example programs cover the major time-
keeping operations needed for remote control of the 5071A.
Each program contains several functions related to the overall task. The
constituent functions are listed to the right of the corresponding program lines.
You can use these function explanations to customize control programs for your
own special needs.
The example programs are written with SCPI short-form notation. The full
names, options, and parameters for these commands are contained in the SCPI
Command Tree/Summary in Chapter 5 of this manual. A complete list of
5071A error messages including code numbers and causes is located at the end of
Chapter 5.
