USB TMC
USB TMC means USB Test & Measurement Class. You can use this interface for
remote control of the instrument using SCPI commands. USB TMC does not need a
driver installation but requires a VISA installation on the controlling computer. VISA is
used to access the instrument, to send remote commands, and to read status informa-
tion.
