Remote Operation Getting Started Guide
Example remote control procedures
Transport Module, DMC, MSAM, and 5800 Remote Operation 21
1 Open a TCP/IP socket connection to the unit on port 8000.
> *REM
> MOD:FUNC:SEL? OPPS,SLIC1,"BERT" (Optional query to verify the module is
powered on, returns "OFF" or "ON")
ON
> MOD:FUNC:PORT? OPPS,SLIC1,"BERT" (Query for the module's port number)
8002
2 Open a TCP/IP socket connection to the unit on the port number returned by the
previous step.
> *REM
> :SYST:FUNC:READY? OPPS,SLIC1,"BERT" (Optional query to verify the
BERT application is running and ready to communicate, returns "0" or "1")
1
> :SYST:FUNC:PORT? OPPS,SLIC1,"BERT" (Query for the port number to
remote control)
8003
The port number returned by the final command can be used to establish a remote control
connection, as shown in “Starting Remote Control” on page 21.
Starting Remote
Control
Once the port number for remote control has been obtained (see “Connecting to an instru-
ment and obtaining the remote control port number” on page 19), remote control mode may
be activated with the *REM command. It is recommended that the ":SYSTem:ERRor?"
command be sent after every non-query command, as this is the easiest way to verify that
each command is processed successfully. Lines starting with ">" indicate commands sent
by the user.
Remote Control with
GUI disabled (default)
This command will shut down the GUI and display a message indicate the unit is under
remote control. All running applications will be stopped.
> *REM (This may take a few seconds if an application is running...)
> :SYSTem:ERRor? (This command may be sent in the mean time, but will not be
processed until *REM is finished.)
0, "No error" (Once this message is received, the switch to remote control mode
is complete.)
Remote Control with
GUI enabled
This command does not shut down the GUI, or any running applications.
> *REM VISIBLE (This may take a few seconds.)
> :SYSTem:ERRor? (This command may be sent in the mean time, but will not be
processed until *REM is finished.)
0, "No error" (Once this message is received, the switch to remote control
mode is complete.)
