15.12 Reference: GPIB Commands of Emulated HP Models
The R&S ESW analyzer family supports a subset of the GPIB commands of HP mod-
els 8560E, 8561E, 8562E, 8563E, 8564E, 8565E, 8566A, 8566B, 8568A, 8568B and
8594E.
Despite the differences in system architecture and device features, the supported com-
mands have been implemented in a way to ensure a sufficiently high degree of corre-
spondence with the original.
This includes the support of syntax rules for not only newer device families (B and E
models) but for the previous A family as well.
In many cases the selection of commands supported by the R&S ESW is sufficient to
run an existing GPIB program without adaptation.
After the introduction, this section includes the following topics:
● Command Set of Models 8560E, 8561E, 8562E, 8563E, 8564E, 8565E, 8566A/B,
8568A/B, 8591E, 8594E, 71100C, 71200C, and 71209A..................................... 688
● Special Features of the Syntax Parsing Algorithms for 8566A and 8568A Models
.............................................................................................................................. 711
● Special Behavior of Commands............................................................................712
● Model-Dependent Default Settings....................................................................... 713
