Programming and Software/Hardware Layers
Agilent MXG, ESG, PSG, and E8663B signal generators support the following
interfaces:
Use these interfaces, in combination with IO libraries and programming languages, to remotely
control a signal generator. Figure 1- 1 uses GPIB as an example of the relationships between the
interface, IO libraries, programming language, and signal generator.
Instrument Interfaces Supported
Agilent MXG GPIB, LAN, and USB 2.0

a
a.The PSG and E8663B’s AUXILIARY INTERFACE connector is compatible with ANSI/EIA232
(RS-232) serial connection but GPIB and LAN are recommended for making faster measurements
and when downloading files. Refer to “Using RS-232 (ESG, PSG, and E8663B Only)” on page 45
and the User’s Guide.
