Digital Oscilloscope Series
Remote Control
User-defined Programming
Users can use SCPI commands via a computer to program and control the digital
oscilloscope. For details, refer to the introductions in "Programming Examples".
Send SCPI Commands via NI-MAX
NI-Measurement and Automation eXplorer (NI-MAX) is a program created and
maintained by National Instruments. It provides a basic remote control interface
for VXI, LAN, USB, GPIB, and Serial communications. It is a utility that enables
you to send commands one-at-a-time and also retrieve data from connected devices.
It is a great tool for troubleshooting and testing command sequences. The
oscilloscopes can be controlled remotely by sending SCPI commands via NI-MAX.
Using SCPI with Telnet
Telnet provides a means of communicating with the oscilloscopes over a LAN
connection. The Telnet protocol sends SCPI commands to the oscilloscopes from
a PC and is similar to communicating with the oscilloscopes over USB. It sends
and receives information interactively: one command at a time. Windows operating
systems use a command prompt style interface for the Telnet client. The steps are
as follows:
1. On your PC, click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
2. At the command prompt, type in telnet.
3. Press the Enter key. The Telnet display screen will be displayed.
