Using command-based scripts makes the Network Master a fully automated
measurement instrument.
The Network Master remote control communication functions support the
built-in Ethernet service interface.
Software specifications are in conformity with the IEEE488.2 standard and
SCPI version 1999 (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments).
All commands are described in a separate document:

Scripting Operation Manual (M-W3736AE).
This icon on Status bar indicates whether the Network Master is controlled by
the command-based scripts or not. If touching this icon, buttons appear.
