5. GPIB Commands
5.1 Overview
Via the IEEE-488.2 interface the remote control and the data transfer function can be
performed 11021/11021-L. This chapter mainly explains the commands of GPIB interface bus
to facilitate users in writing programs to control the 11021/11021-L for handling the tested
data.
