Selects the instrument whose remote command set is emulated by the R&S SMB.
The R&S SMB can also be remote controlled via the command set of several other gen-
erators, e.g. of an HP generator. You find the available command sets for the generator
in the selection list. This feature allows to replace a generator by an R&S SMB in existing
test setups. Refer to the corresponding Application Note at the download area of the
product site on the Internet. The Application Note is also provided on the user documen-
tation CD-ROM (included in delivery).
The selected instrument also defines the identification string that is retrieved with query
*IDN?. If required, use the parameter "Mode" and "IDN String" to change this string.
As any other parameter, the remote control command set can also be changed remotely
by means of the SCPI command SYST:LANG. However, this remote control command is
enabled only in the instrument's specific SCPI command set, i.e. it is possible to change
the command set remotely from the original one (SYST:LANG SCPI) to the command
set to be emulated but not vice versa.
Note: While working in an emulation mode, the R&S SMB specific command set is dis-
abled, i.e. the SCPI command SYST:LANG will be discarded.
To return to the SCPI command set of the R&S SMB, use the appropriate command of
the selected command set. If for example a HP generator is emulated, the HP command
EX returns to the instrument-specific GPIB command set.
