46 Keysight 53210A User’s Guide
How the User’s Guide is Organized
This user’s guide is written for the operator using the instrument from the front
panel, and for the programmer controlling the counter from a remote (LAN, USB,
GPIB) interface. As such, most topics include a front panel key sequence followed
by the corresponding SCPI commands. For example:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The input impedance of the 53210A counter can be set to either 50
Ω or 1 MΩ
using the command:
INPut[1]:IMPedance {<impedance>|MINimum|MAXimum| DEFault}
INPut[1]:IMPedance? [{MINimum|MAXimum|DEFault}] (query form)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The description of operation which follows typically applies to both front panel
and remote usage.
For general reference, the information in this manual is organized as shown in
Figure 1-3.
