Introduction to Programming
Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the basics for remote programming of an
oscilloscope. The programming instructions in this manual conform to
the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable
Instrumentation. The programming instructions provide the means of
remote control.
To program the Agilent 54600-series oscilloscope you must add either
an GPIB (for example, Agilent 54650A) or RS-232-C (for example,
Agilent 54651A) interface to the rear panel.
You can perform the following basic operations with a controller and
an oscilloscope:
· Set up the instrument.
· Make measurements.
· Get data (waveform, measurements, configuration) from the
oscilloscope.
· Send information (pixel image, configurations) to the oscilloscope.
Other tasks are accomplished by combining these basic functions.
Languages for Program Examples
The programming examples for individual commands in this manual are written
in Agilent BASIC, C, or SICL C.
