4.2.5 GPIB Commands of HP Models 856xE, 8566A/B, 8568A/B and
8594E
The R&S FSVA/FSV analyzer family supports a subset of the GPIB commands of HP
models 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 FSVA/FSV is suffi-
cient to run an existing GPIB program without adaptation.

4.2.5.1 GPIB Languages
The R&S FSVA/FSV analyzer family supports a subset of the GPIB commands used
by other devices. Thus it can emulate other devices in order to use existing remote
control programs.
The device model to be emulated is selected manually using the key sequence
"SETUP > General Setup > GPIB > Compatible Mode > GPIB Language". Via the
GPIB interface using the command.
In order to emulate device models that are not part of the selection list of the "GPIB
Language" softkey, you can modify the identification string received in response to the
ID command (key sequence "SETUP > General Setup > GPIB > ID String User").
Thus, any device model whose command set is compatible with one of the supported
device models can be emulated.
In order to emulate device models that are not part of the selection list of the GPIB
"Language" setting, you can modify the identification string received in response to the
