Programming Language Selection (Option 200)
The programming language selection is available as an orderable option. For
N1913A, you can use SCPI, HP 436A, or HP 437B programming language to
program the power meter from the remote interface. For N1914A, you can use
either SCPI or HP 438A programming language to program the power meter from
the remote interface. The default language is SCPI when the power meter is
shipped from the factory.
The power meter complies with the rules and regulations of the 1996.0 version of
SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). You can determine
the SCPI version with which the power meter is in compliance by sending the
SYSTem:VERSion? command from the remote interface. You cannot query the
SCPI version from the front panel.
The language selection is stored in non-volatile memory and does not change
when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
