Finding and Querying Instruments

This section shows how to find and query GPIB and/or RS-232 instruments connected to your E5810 by using the Find and Control Instruments Connected to your E5810 page. This page is password-protected since you can inadvertently interfere with running VISA/SICL applications if you query an instrument at an inappropriate time.

This page allows you to quickly communicate with your GPIB and RS-232 instruments and can help you determine if the instrument side of the E5810 is working properly. You can also use this page to set up and take measurements remotely by sending instrument commands.
