How To Remotely Program Infiniium
Oscilloscopes
Programming Syntax
Computers communicate with the oscilloscope by sending and receiving
program messages over a remote interface. To program the oscilloscope
remotely, you must understand the command format and structure
expected by the oscilloscope. The IEEE 488.2 syntax rules govern how
individual elements such as headers, separators, program data, and
terminators are grouped together to form complete instructions.
This chapter describes how to:
