8.3 Brief Introduction to Remote Control
The instrument can be remote-controlled via the network (LAN interface). For
details on configuring the LAN interface see Chapter 8.6, "Setting Up a Network
(LAN) Connection", on page 165.

details on configuring the LAN interface see Chapter 8.6, "Setting Up a Network

For details on setting the interface see Chapter 8.5, "Configuring the GPIB Inter-
face", on page 164.
The following programming examples are structured hierarchically, i.e. the later
examples are based on the preceding ones. This allows you to easily assemble a
well-functioning program by using the modules of the program examples. More
complex examples are provided in the Operating Manual, chapter "Remote Con-
trol - Programming Examples"
8.3.1 Basic Steps in Remote Control Programming
The following examples explain how to program the instrument and can be used
as a basis for solving enhanced programming tasks.
Visual Basic was used as the programming language. However, the programs
can be implemented in other languages as well.
Using backslashes
In programming languages such as C, C++ or programs such as MATLAB
or NI Interactive Control, a backslash starts an escape sequence (e.g. "\n"
is used to start a new line). In these programming languages and programs,
two backslashes instead of one must be used in remote commands, e.g. in
"Storing Instrument Settings" on page 157
instead of MMEM:STOR:STAT 1,'C:\USER\DATA\TEST1'
use MMEM:STOR:STAT 1,'C:\\USER\\DATA\\TEST1'
