GPIB Service Mnemonic Definitions
GPIB Service Mnemonic Definitions
All service routine keystrokes can be made through GPIB in one of the following
approaches:
• sending equivalent remote GPIB commands. (Mnemonics have been documented
previously with the corresponding keystroke.)
• invoking the System Menu (MENUSYST) and using the analyzer mnemonic (SOFTn),
where “n” represents the softkey number. (Softkeys are numbered 1 to 8 from top to
bottom.)
GPIB programming information is provided in the analyzer’s programmer’s guide.
Invoking Tests Remotely
Many tests require a response to the displayed prompts. Since bit 1 of the Event Status
Register B is set (bit 1 = service routine waiting) any time a service routine prompts the
user for an expected response, you can send an appropriate response using one of the
following techniques:
• Read event status register B to reset the bit.
• Enable bit 1 to interrupt (ESNB[D]). See “Status Reporting” in the analyzer’s
programmer’s guide.
• Respond to the prompt with a TESRn command (see “Tests Menu” on page 10-4).
