The VM700A features a large set of diagnostics, to allow you to verify that the instrument is
operating properly, as well as to localize malfunctions if they occur. Diagnostics are described in
Section 9
The VM700A features the ability to record sequences of operations (functions) and execute them
by touching a “soft key” on the front panel. See the VM700A Programmer Reference Manual for
details on how to record, edit, and execute functions. The functions can also be called remotely
once they have been created.
The VM700A is capable of being remotely controlled. You can operate the instrument via a
computer or terminal connected through a rear-panel RS-232C port. See the VM700A Program-
mer Reference Manual for information on remote programming and operation. If Option 48,
GPIB interface, is also installed, the VM700A may be operated remotely via the GPIB port. See
the VM700A Option 48 GPIB Interface Programmer Manual for information about GPIB remote
control
An added display option is available for the VM700A. Option 74 provides a display module with
a white phosphor CRT instead of the standard green phosphor when a VM700A is ordered with
the option.
