Network and Remote Control Operation

As an alternative to operating the R&S SGU interactively via the R&S SGMA-GUI,
one can also control the R&S SGU using programmed commands from a remote
PC.
The description in this section requires basic knowledge of the remote con-
trol operation. Definitions specified in the SCPI standard are not provided.
Nevertheless, you can find some basic information to the SCPI syntax,
command lists, and general programming recommendations in section
Remote Control Basics of the user manual. In addition, this chapter pro-
vides information on the status reporting system of the instrument.
