Remote Operation Summary
At the factory, the instrument is set for GPIB bus operation at primary address 16 using the SCPI
programming language.
GPIB bus
— Use the GPIB bus configuration menu to enable or disable GPIB bus operation (ON
or OFF), and to check and/or change the primary address (0 to 30) and language (SCPI, 199, or
8842). The configuration menu is accessed by pressing SHIFT and then GPIB. Commands for the
SCPI language are provided in Tables 4 through 15. The DDC commands for the 199 and 8842
languages are provided in Tables 16 and 17.
RS-232 interface
— Use the RS-232 interface menu to enable or disable RS-232 interface
operation (ON or OFF), and to check and/or change the baud rate (300 to 19.2k), flow control
(NONE or XonXoFF) and terminator (LF, CR or LFCR). Note that only the SCPI language
commands can be used over the RS-232 interface.
