Chapter 6. Remote Operation
The ML248xA and ML249xA are equipped for remote operation by means of the GPIB
(General Purpose Interface Bus) standard. As an alternative, the user can select to use
an RS232 connection.
Overview of GPIB
The GPIB provides a remote means to control the power meter as an alternative to using
the interface on the unit itself. All commands on the ML248xA have an equivalent GPIB
command and these can either by used simply to control the unit remotely, or in a
complete GPIB program which can be used to set up multiple units to the required state,
execute the required tests, and feed back the results to the PC acting as the controller.
The GPIB measurement signal path is illustrated in the figure on the following page.
Refer to the “ML248xA / ML249xA Peak Power Meter Remote Programming Manual” for
full details of all supported GPIB commands.
