VM700T Option 40/41/42 Audio Measurements User Manual
Like the VM700T video functions, remote control of the Audio option functions
is performed through either the serial (RS-232C) ports or, if Option 48 is
installed, the GPIB port on the VM700T rear panel. Operating the VM700T
remotely using the RS-232 interface requires that you connect a terminal or
computer to the VM700T through one of the RS-232C ports (Port 0 or Port 1)
with a correctly wired interconnect cable. If you use a computer, you will also
need a suitable VM700T terminal program such as the Tektronix VMT
application. The VMT software offers a choice of either menu selection or
command-line entry of VM700T remote commands. Remote operation of the
VM700T through the GPIB interface requires a standard GPIB cable and a
properly configured GPIB controller with a controller program to handle the
VM700T.
For information about configuring the VM700T serial ports for remote opera-
tion, refer to the VM700T RS-232 Interface Programmer Manual. The
programmer manual discusses the VM700T RS-232C port requirements in detail
and shows typical cable wiring configurations. If your VM700T has Option 48
(the GPIB interface) installed, additional information on remote operation using
GPIB is found in the VM700T GPIB Option 48 Programmer Manual.
Operating the VM700T from a remote location includes the following capabili-
ties:
making a specific manual measurement or Auto mode series of measure-
ments
executing and interrupting a function (Function Key)
temporarily changing the configuration of a channel's limit files, selected
measurement files, and measurement location files
setting the printer type and port for each type of output (Copy, Report, and
Log) and specifying an "End of File" character for printer output
The remote commands used with the Audio option functions are the same as
those used for other VM700T functions. The information in this section assumes
that you are familiar with manual operation of the VM700T and understand the
principles of remote VM700T operation. For information on working with
VM700T remote control commands, refer to the VM700T RS-232 Interface
Programmer Manual.
