Emulation
The instruments to be emulated by the SM* signal generators implement
different kind of remote-control languages.
Basically, those languages can be divided into the following groups:
Language
Group
1
Pre-/Non-SCPI
2
SCPI-compatible/-similar
Table 2: Remote-control languages on emulated instruments
Some instruments (e.g., Agilent 8340, Racal 3102) only support language of
group 1, some other instruments (e.g., Aeroflex 2030) only language of group
2 and finally, some instruments (e.g., Agilent 8643, Anritsu 68037) support
both languages of groups 1 and 2.
The emulation software on the signal generators SM* offers the primary
language group, if the emulated instrument supports more than one language.
A list of actually emulated instruments and related emulation modes is shown
in the following table.
