Programming The Instrument For Remote Operation - Keysight 53147A Operating And Programming Manual

Programming the Instrument for Remote Operation

This section provides remote-operation setup and programming information. You
can use this information to configure the instrument to operate as a remote
device.
Most of this chapter deals with programming the Keysight 53147A, 53148A, and
NOTE
53149A using SCPI and IEEE 488.2 commands. With two minor exceptions, the
only difference between programming these instruments using the GPIB
interface and the RS-232 serial interface is the manner in which you connect the
instrument to the computer. These exceptions are:
1 The instrument sends a command prompt over the RS-232 interface
2 When an error is detected (during the Self-Test or during operation),
Keysight 53147A/148A/149A Operating and Programming Guide
(but not the GPIB) after receiving and executing each command.
the instrument automatically sends an error message (or messages)
over the RS-232 interface (error messages must be requested over the
GPIB). For additional information on error messages, see Appendix B.
