Appendix B: Using the GPIB Interface
Interface Compatibility
2706 RF Preselector
This appendix describes the GPIB commands that you can use to control the
Preselector.
To run the Preselector automatically from a controller, you can either write your
own software or use commercial software.
GPIB controllers such as the National Instruments PCII/IIA with communica-
tions drivers are compatible with the Preselector's GPIB interface. If you are
building or programming your own interface, refer to the Capability Identifica-
tion Codes section in the ANSI/IEEE Std 488.2–1987 Handbook for detailed
information about the Preselector's GPIB capabilities.
The Preselector GPIB interface meets the compatibility requirements of the IEEE
codes listed below. (These codes are also marked below the IEEE STD 488 PORT
on the rear panel.)
