Introduction to Programming
This chapter introduces the basics for remote programming of an
oscilloscope. The programming commands in this manual conform to
the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable
Instrumentation. The programming commands provide the means of
remote control.
Basic operations that you can do with a computer and an oscilloscope
include:
• Set up the oscilloscope.
• Make measurements.
• Get data (waveform, measurements, and configuration) from the
oscilloscope.
• Send information, such as waveforms and configurations, to the
oscilloscope.
You can accomplish other tasks by combining these functions.
Example Programs are Written in HP BASIC and C
The programming examples for individual commands in this manual are written in
