Chapter 20 Remote Control 
 
The oscilloscope can be remotely controlled in the following three methods: 
 
User-defined programming 
You can program and control the oscilloscope by using the SCPI (Standard 
Commands for Programmable Instruments) commands. For details about the 
relevant commands and programming, refer to 
MSO7000/DS7000 Series 
Programming Guide
. 
 
PC software 
You can use the PC software to send commands to control the oscilloscope remotely. 
RIGOL Ultra Sigma is recommended. You can download the software from RIGOL 
official website (www.rigol.com). 
 
Operation Procedures: 
(1)  Set up communication between the instrument and PC. 
(2)  Run Ultra Sigma and search for the instrument resource. 
(3)  Open the remote command control panel to send commands. 
 
Web Control 
MSO7000/DS7000 series digital oscilloscope supports Web Control. When the 
instrument is connected to the internet, Web Control can display the waveform 
interface of the oscilloscope in a real-time manner. You can migrate the instrument 
control and waveform analysis to the control terminals (e.g. PC, mobile, and iPad) 
through Web Control to realize remote control of the instrument. When you log in to 
the Web Control for the first time, use the user name "admin" (without quotation 
marks) and the password "rigol" (without quotation marks). 
 
The oscilloscope can communicate with the PC via the following interfaces: 
◼  Remote Control via USB 
◼  Remote Control via LAN 
◼  Remote Control via GPIB 
 
This chapter will illustrate how to use RIGOL's Ultra Sigma software to remotely 
control the oscilloscope via various interfaces.
