USB Remote Control System

USB Remote Control System
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) remote control system provides device control via USB
that is equivalent to control via GRIP. Connection is made through an interface in
compliance with USBTMC-USB488 and USB 2.0.

such address for GPIB connections.
Use a LAN cable to connect the E5052A to an external controller (personal computer).
Figure 2-6 shows an overview of the system configuration for the USB remote control
