To Control The 4349B From An External Computer - Agilent Technologies 4349B Manual

To Control the 4349B from an External Computer

Most measurements can be modeled the following simple three step sequence:
1. Set up the 4349B.
Typically, you begin the setup step by sending the reset command to set the instrument to
its default settings. Next, if you need values di erent from the default settings, change the
settings one by one as required.
2. Trigger the measurement.
The trigger may be generated automatically by steps taken in your setup commands, or you
can send an explicit trigger command.
3. Retrieve the measurement data
The following sections describes how to perform the tasks at each step.
Figure 4-1 shows a simple resistance measurement program.
