Introduction to Remote Operation
PSG signal generators support the following interfaces:
• General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB)
• Local Area Network (LAN)
• ANSI/EIA232 (RS-232) serial connection
Each of these interfaces, in combination with an IO library and programming language, can be used to
remotely control the signal generator. Figure 1-1 uses the GPIB as an example of the relationships between
the interface, IO libraries, programming language, and signal generator.
