FUNCTION REFERENCE

REMOTE CONTROL IEEE 488.2

Description:

An IEEE 488.2 Interface is available as an option. This interface can be used to control oscilloscope functions by an external computer. All of the oscilloscope’s current settings can be read by the computer.

The programming language is called SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). SCPI is an IEEE standardized language designed for remote control of programmable test and measuring equipment. General information for SCPI and the instructions are located in a separate programming manual. The 24-pole connector and its connections are shown in the figure below.

For correct functioning in a IEEE 488 environment, the oscilloscope’s device address must be selected. This is done in the UTILITY REMOTE CONTRL menu with the TRACK control. This menu is reached via the key sequence ’UTILITY >> REMOTE CONTRL’. To change the IEEE settings, first select IEEE with the ’RS-232 IEEE’ softkey.

Operation of front key STATUS LOCAL passes the control of the oscilloscope from the interface (remote) to the front keys (local).
