Page 31: ６．Remote Interface
The transmission of each standard command has to be preceded by a “CY” handshake. The computer program must send the ASCII character 'C' to the 6010 to which the 6010 attenuator responds by sending 'Y' followed by CRLF. Only after successful exchange of this handshake will a standard command be accepted by the attenuator. -

Each data word is transferred in the order of Low Byte first, High byte second. 80dB or 8640h would be transmitted as 4086h. (Note: h denotes hexadecimal value) Sequence for transmission of an arbitrary waveform data block: 6010 "C" ------>... -
