GPIB, the General Purp ose Interface Bus, is the instrument-
to-instrument communication system between the swept signal
generator and up to 14 other instruments. Any instrument
having GPIB capability can b e interfaced to the swept signal
generator, including non-HP/Agilent instruments that have \GPIB,"
\IEEE-488," \ANSI MC1.1," or \IEC-625" capability (these are
common generic terms for GPIB; all are electrically equivalent
although IEC-625 uses a unique connector). This portion of the
manual specically describ es interfacing the swept signal generator to
one type of instrument: a computer.
The rst part of this section provides general GPIB information.
Later, the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments
language (SCPI) is intro duced, and example programs are given.
For information on programming in the Control Interface
Intermediate Language (CI IL), refer to a separate option 700 manual
supplement.
