Operators Manual
Perform the following procedure to test the overload protection of an oscilloscope:
1. Connect the calibrator to Channel 1 on the oscilloscope.
2. Select the voltage type (DC or AC) using the OUT VAL softkey.
3. Key in the voltage level. (The default value is 5 V.)
4. If necessary, change the duration. (Refer to the procedure described above.) The
5. Check for test results displayed with the UUTTRIP softkey.
Remote Commands and Queries
This section describes commands and queries that are used specifically for the SC600
Option. Each command description indicates whether it can be used with IEEE-488 and
RS-232 remote interfaces and identifies it as a Sequential, Overlapped, or Coupled
command.
IEEE-488 (GPIB) and RS-232 Applicability Each command and query has a check
box indicating applicability to IEEE-488 (general purpose interface bus, or GPIB) and
RS-232 remote operations.
Sequential Commands Commands executed immediately as they are encountered in the
data stream are called sequential commands. For more information, see "Sequential
Commands" in Chapter 5.
Overlapped Commands Commands SCOPE, TRIG, and OUT_IMP are designated as
overlapped commands because they may be overlapped (interrupted) by the next
command before they have completed execution. When an overlapped command is
interrupted, it may take longer to execute while it waits for other commands to be
completed. To prevent an overlapped command from being interrupted during execution,
use *OPC, *OPC?, or *WAI, which prevent interruptions until they detect the
command's completion. For more information, see "Overlapped Commands" in Chapter
5.
Coupled Commands SCOPE and OUT_IMP are coupled commands because they can
be coupled (combined) with other commands to form a compound command sequence.
Care must be taken to ensure that commands are not coupled in a way that may cause
them to disable each other, since this may result in a fault. For more information, see
"Coupled Commands" in Chapter 5.

Table 9-1. SCOPE Command Parameters
Turns the oscilloscope hardware off. Programs 0 V, 0 Hz, output at the NORMAL
terminals, standby.
Oscilloscope ac and dc VOLT mode. Programs 20 mV peak-to-peak, 1 kHz, output at
the SCOPE BNC, output impedance 1 MΩ, standby if from OFF or previously in
standby. FUNC? Returns SACV (for ac) or SDCV (for dc).
Example:
SCOPE VOLT; OUT 4 V, 1 kHz
(ac voltage, 4 V peak-to-peak, 1 kHz.)
