4.7.4 HP 8360 Emulation Commands
The HP8360 command set is made up of the standard SCPI commands with the additional commands
listed in the table below. In standard SCPI, all queries are terminated with a <CR> <LF> whereas in
HP8360 emulation mode, only a <LF> is used. Also, standard SCPI requires an EOI as a terminator for
GPIB communication; in HP8360 emulation, a <CR>, a <LF>, or a <CR><LF> is acceptable in place of an
EOI. In HP8360 emulation mode, the front panel display will show the current menu and data values as
remote commands are received. The *IDN? will return “HEWLETT-PACKARD,8360”
Default differences:
AM Scaling: Fixed at 100 %
FM Mode: Fixed to wide (AC)
PM Start Trigger: Immediate
PM Stop Trigger: Immediate
PM Polarity: Active High
