Overview of Remote Control

USB Remote Control System

USB Remote Control System
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) remote control system provides device control
via USB, which is equivalent to control via GPIB. Connection is made through
an interface in compliance with USBTMC-USB488 and USB 2.0.
USBTMC (USB Test & Measurement Class) is a protocol whose design is based
on USB for communication with a USB device, such as that via GPIB.

System configuration

The USB remote control system controls instruments that use the name "alias."
There is no such address for GPIB connections.
Use a USB cable to connect the E4980A/AL to an external controller (personal
computer).
