Programming Language Selection

You can select one of two languages to program the power meter from the remote interface. The language is SCPI when the power meter is shipped from the factory. The other language is the HP 438A programming language.

The power meter complies with the rules and regulations of the 1995.0 version of SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). You can determine the SCPI version with which the power meter’s in compliance by sending the SYSTem:VERSion? command from the remote interface. You cannot query the SCPI version from the front panel.

The language selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
