Programming Guide Click Next to run installation. Now the installation is complete, reboot your PC. 1.1.2 Connect the instrument Depending on your specific model your function/arbitrary waveform generator may be able to communicate with a PC through the USB or LAN interface. This manual takes the USB as an example.
Page 148: How To Remote Control
Programming Guide b. Wait for the installation to complete and then proceed to the next step. 1.2 How To Remote Control 1.2.1 User-defined Programming Users can use SCPI commands to program and control the function/arbitrary waveform generator. For details, refer to the introductions in "Programming Examples".
