Controlling the IQC5000
The IQC5000 can be controlled in two possible ways:
 IQC Control Software User Interface: IQC Control Software on the Computer Workstation is the primary
method of control for the IQC5000. See "Using IQC5000 with IQC Control" on page 37.
 Command Server/API: A network sockets server runs in the background while IQC Control is running, and
can be used to programmatically interface with the IQC5000 and connected devices using a SCPI-like lan-
guage. See the IQC5000 API Programming Manual.
