5 Remote Control
This chapter provides instructions on how to set up the tester for remote control, a
general introduction to remote control of programmable instruments, and the
description of the tester's remote control concept. For reference information about all
remote control commands implemented by the instrument, complemented by
comprehensive program examples, refer to the "Command Reference" and
"Programming" chapters.
Programming examples, software tool
The programming examples in the reference chapters have been tested with the aid of
a simple software tool which provides an environment for the development and
execution of remote tests. Tool-specific program syntax has been omitted, with the
exception of some simple program elements for comments:
REM: Remark, command line not executed
FPRINT <Text>: Include text in the output file
WAITKEY <Text>: Display a dialog containing the text and waiting for user
interaction before the program is continued
