data after processing and numerical values of key features of a measurement.
Examples of display numerical value are the amplitude at a frequency, the frequency
at a cursor location, the THD + N, etc.
An illustration (see Figure 1–8) of how the AM700 is modeled for SCPI control is a
useful start in determining which SCPI system and subsystem commands are used to
control the AM700 functions. After that connection is made, the actual SCPI
commands required to perform a measurement task may be developed.

AM700 Analog Signal Path
In the AM700, the hardware of the analog signal path is organized in functional
blocks. These blocks are assigned SCPI System commands related to the functions
to be done as shown in Figure 1–9. Signal Routing is shown in Figure 1–10.
