This web page remotely accesses all signal generator functions and operations. Use the mouse pointer to click on the signal generator’s hardkeys and softkeys. The results of each mouse click selection will be displayed on the web page. For example, click on the Frequency hardkey then use the front- panel key pad to enter a frequency. You can also use the up and down arrow keys to increase or decrease the frequency.

You can use the SCPI Command text box at the bottom of the front- panel display to send commands to the signal generator. Enter a valid SCPI command, then click the SEND button. The results of the command will be displayed on a separate web page titled, “SCPI Command Processed”. You can continue using this web page to enter SCPI commands or you can return to the front panel web page.
