You can control the instrument with communication commands from a computer via the USB, GP-IB, RS-
232C and LAN interfaces.
There are the following four communication methods. To enable communication, the communication condi-
tions need to be set on the instrument.
The instrument is communication class compatible.
Command control using the TCP/IP protocol is possible.
• Commands common to IEEE-488-2 1987 (requirement) can be used.
• The instrument complies with the following standard. (Compliance standard: IEEE-488.1 1987)
• The instrument has been designed with reference to the following standard. (Reference standard:
IEEE-488.2 1987)

• Always turn both devices OFF when connecting and disconnecting an interface
connector. Otherwise, an electric shock accident may occur.
• To avoid damage to the instrument, do not short-circuit the terminal and do not
input voltage to the terminal.
• Failure to fasten the connectors properly may result is sub-specification perfor-
mance or damage to the equipment.
