GPIB
Reference
Introduction
This
chapter provides
reference information
for the
gpib commands
used
to
control
the
4349B
in
the gpib
remote mode
.
GPIB

F
ormat
The
4349B
can
be operated
using
the
General
Purpose
Interface
Bus(
gpib
).
GPIB
commands
correspond
to
the
Standard
Commands
for
Programmable
Instruments(
scpi ).
SCPI is
the
instrument
command
language
for
controlling
instrument
that
goes
beyond IEEE
488.2 to
address
a
wide
variety
of
instrument
functions
in
a
standard
manner.
GPIB
Commands
GPIB
commands
can
be
separated
into
two
groups:
common
commands
and
subsystem
commands
.
Common
Commands
Common
commands
are
generally
not
measurement
related,
but
are
used
to
manage
macros
,
status
registers
,
synchronization,
and
data
storage
.
All
common
commands
begin
with
an
asterisk.
Common
commands
are
dened
in
the
IEEE
488.2
standard.

Subsystem Commands
Subsystem commands include all measurement functions and some general purpose functions
.
Each subsystem is a set of commands that roughly corresponds to a functional block inside the
instrument. For example
, the SOURce subsystem contains commands for signal generation,
while the STATus subsystem contains commands for accessing status registers.
Subsystem commands have a hierarchical structure,calleda command tree , which consists of
several key words separated by a colon between each word.
