Introduction
This chapter contains information about how to control Fluke 54200 by a Personal
Computer or Controller using the IEEE-488 or RS-232 Interface.
All instrument functions can be controlled using the IEEE-488 or RS-232 Interface. You
can connect the RS-232 cable and additional the IEEE-488 cable to the instrument, but
you cannot control the instrument using RS-232 and IEEE-488 at the same time.
Before learning the remote interface command set, first get acquainted with the functions
of the instrument, parameters, settings, and limits. A detailed description with examples
is in the Chapters 2 to 5 of this manual.
If you already use a program for the PM5415/18 Color TV Signal Generator, you can
find a conversion table for the commands at the end of this chapter.
