Getting Started
This programmer manual provides you with the information required to use
GPIB commands to remotely control your instrument. With this information,
you can write
computer programs that will perform functions such as setting the
front-panel controls, taking measurements, performing statistical calculations, and
exporting data for use in other programs, such as spreadsheets.
Besides the traditional GPIB electronic interface (referred to as the physical GPIB
interface), your instrument has aTekVISA GPIB-compatible interface (referred
to as the virtual GPIB interface). This is a software Application Programming
Interface (API) which enables you to communicate with the instrument in a
variety of ways, including via the internet. With the following two exceptions,
these in
terfaces are completely independent:
HEADER. Command headers enabled or disabled on one interface are
corresp
ondingly enabled or disabled on the other interface. Refer to the
command descriptions for m ore d etailed information.
VERBOS
E. Verbosity enabled or disabled on one interface is correspondingly
enabled or disabled on the other interface. Refer to the command description
for more detailed information.
Most examples in this document assume that both
HEADER and VERBOSE are ON.
