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 instru-
ment, complemented by comprehensive programming examples, refer to section "Com-
mand Reference" and "Programming" in the documentation of the individual firmware
applications.
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 ele-
ments:
●
//: Remark, command line not executed
●
WAITKEY <Text>: Display a dialog containing the text and wait for user interaction
before the program is continued
