8648A/B/C/D Compatible Commands
Selecting the Programming Language
NOTE Compatibility is provided for GPIB only; USB and LAN are not supported.
The Agilent MXG has only one AM path; and only one internal and one external source. If
executed, the “2” path or “2” internal or external source commands will result in a “ERROR:
-113, Undefined Header” to be generated in the signal generator.
When using the programming codes in this section, you must set the remote programming language to
the correct language format.
• On the front- panel, press the following keys:
Utility > I/O Config > GPIB Setup > Remote Language > 8648A/B/C/D
or
•Execute the SCPI command :SYSTem:LANGuage found on page 168.
To keep the remote language choice so that it does not reset with either preset, instrument power
cycle, or *RST, perform the following.
• On the front- panel, press the following keys:
Utility > Power On/Preset > Preset Language > 8648A/B/C/D
or
•Execute the SCPI command :PRESet:LANGuage found on page 168.
To set the *IDN? response to match the remote language setting, use the command :SYSTem:IDN
located in “Changing the Signal Generator Identification String” on page 167.
