Programming the
Model 2074
1-32
The Model 2074 has no controls on its front panel. Instrument
functions, parameters, and modes can only be accessed through
VXIbus commands. There are a number of ways to "talk" to the
instrument. They all require that an appropriate software driver be
installed in the Resource Manager (slot 0). The rest is a matter of
practice and knowledge of the language in use. There are other
system considerations like address selection that have to be settled
before programming the instrument. These topics are discussed in
later chapters.
Low level programming of the Model 2074 is done using SCPI
commands. Programming aspects are covered in Chapters 4. High
level drivers like IVI drivers are beyond the scope of this manual.

level drivers for the Model 2074.
