Getting Started
Using GPIB
Programming Language
The programming language is used along with Standard Commands for Programming Instructions (SCPI)
and IO library functions to remotely control the signal generator. Common programming languages include:
Using GPIB
The GPIB allows instruments to be connected together and controlled by a computer. The GPIB and its
associated interface operations are defined in the ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.1-1987 and ANSI/IEEE
Standard 488.2-1992. See the IEEE website, www.ieee.org, for details on these standards.
1. Installing the GPIB Interface Card
A GPIB interface card must be installed in your computer. Two common GPIB interface cards are the
National Instruments (NI) PCI–GPIB and the Agilent GPIB interface cards. Follow the GPIB interface card
instructions for installing and configuring the card in your computer. The following tables provide
information on interface cards.
•C/C++
• Agilent BASIC
• LabView
