Section 6: 9500B System Application via IEEE-488 Interface
6.1 About Section 6
Section 6 describes the environment in which the Model 9500B will operate in remote applications, using the SCPI (Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments) language, within the IEEE-488.1 remote interface. In Section 6 we shall show how the 9500B adopts the IEEE-
488.2 message-exchange model and reporting structure, and define the SCPI commands and syntax used to control the 9500B. Section 6 is
divided into the following sub-sections:
