Preface
This programmer guide provides you with the information required to use
Programmable Interface commands to remotely control your instrument.
The programmer manual is divided into the following major topics:
Getting started. This topic introduces you to the programming information
and provides basic information about setting up your instrument for remote
control.
Command syntax. This topic provides an overview of the command syntax
that you use to communicate with the instrument and other general information
about commands, such as how commands and queries are constructed, how to
enter commands, constructed mnemonics, and argument types.
Command groups. This topic contains all the commands listed in functional
groups. Each group consists of an overview of the commands in that group and
a table that lists all the commands and queries for that group. You can click a
command in the listing to display a detailed description of the command.
Commands listed in alphabetical order. This topic contains all commands
listed in alphabetical order. Command details, syntax, and examples are
provided.
Status and events. This topic discusses the status and event reporting system
for the programming interfaces. This system informs you of certain signi fi cant
events that occur within the instrument. Topics that are discussed include
registers, queues, event handling sequences, synchronization methods, and
messages that the instrument might return, including error messages.
Appendices. These topics contain miscellaneous information, such as a list
of reserved words, a table of the factory initialization (default) settings, and
interface speci
fi cations that can be helpful when using commands to remotely
control the instrument.
