Instruments Using
the Instrument
Command Line
For supported instruments, you can also query an instrument by first highlighting the instrument in the Instruments Connected column, typing in a SCPI command (such as meas:volt:dc?) on the Instrument Command line, and then clicking Send and Receive, or Query.
To send a command to the instrument without waiting for a response, click the Send button. Sending a string to the instrument does not return a result. To receive a string from the instrument, click the Receive button. To both send the string and receive a response from the instrument, click the Query button.
NOTE
The History display buffers up to 200 lines of information. At 200 lines, the last lines are overwritten with new information. At this point, you may want to press the Clear History button.
