Part 1 Part 1, consists of chapters 1 through 7 and contains general
information about programming basics, GPIB and RS-232-C interface
requirements, documentation conventions, status reporting, and error
messages.
If you are already familiar with IEEE 488.2 programming and GPIB or
RS-232-C, you may want to just scan these chapters. If you are new to
programming the system, you should read part 1.
Chapter 1 is divided into two sections. The first section, "Talking to the
Instrument," concentrates on program syntax, and the second section,
"Receiving Information from the Instrument," discusses how to send queries
and how to retrieve query results from the instrument.
Read either chapter 2, "Programming Over GPIB," or chapter 3,
"Programming Over RS-232-C" for information concerning the physical
connection between the Agilent Technologies 1670G-series logic analyzer
and your controller.
Chapter 4, "Programming and Documentation Conventions," gives an
overview of all instructions and also explains the notation conventions used
in the syntax definitions and examples.
Chapter 5, "Message Communication and System Functions," provides an
overview of the operation of instruments that operate in compliance with the
IEEE 488.2 standard.
Chapter 6 explains status reporting and how it can be used to monitor the
flow of your programs and measurement process.
Chapter 7 contains error message descriptions.
Part 2 Part 2, chapters 8 through 13, explains each command in the
command set for the entire logic analyzer. These chapters are organized
in subsystems with each subsystem representing a front-panel menu.
The commands explained in this part give you access to common commands,
instrument commands, system level commands, disk commands,
intermodule measurement, and module level commands. This part is
designed to provide a concise description of each command.
Part 3 Part 3, chapters 14 through 27, explains each command in the
subsystem command set for the logic analyzer. Chapter 27 contains
information on the SYSTem:DATA and SYSTem:SETup commands for
the logic analyzer.
