2.5 Front panel operation:
Demonstrates basic front pan-
el operation through the use of simple examples.
2.6 IEEE-488.2 and SCPI basics:
Discusses fundamental
information concerning operation over the IEEE-488
bus, including programming examples.
NOTE
The IEEE-488 bus is also referred to as
GPIB, the general purpose interface bus.
Both terms are used with the Model 2001
and in this manual.
