Overview
Remote Programming
This chapter provides instructions and examples for programming the
HP 7042XA series of instruments over the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus
(HP-IB). Remote operation is controlled with commands that largely
correspond to front panel key functions.
Programming the HP 70427A, HP 70428A, and functions other than
frequency for the HP 70428A Option 002 is straight forward. Simple
examples are given in chapter 2 - Getting Started and more detailed
examples are given at the end of this chapter. Programming of the status
reporting system is complex, but included in this chapter is an explanation of
the system and a detailed program example. Program codes for all functions
are listed in chapter 12 - Remote Commands.
