Remote Control UI

When the Instrument is connected to a computer and communicates, the Product will enter the
remote state. The screen under remote control is as shown in
In the remote-control mode, all buttons except F5 and Trigger on the front panel are locked. The
measurement screen of the Product will change according to the remote setting parameters.
The remote control can be unlocked through the following two methods:

Press E (Local) to switch to local mode.

Send a SYSTem:LOCal command through the computer

Remote Control Commands

A computer can set the Product, execute functions, or command the Product to responds with the
request data through the RS-232 or Ethernet port of the Product using the commands supported by
the Product. Command syntax and names follow the IEEE-488.2 and SCPI standards.
Commands consist of a command header and, if necessary, parameter data. All commands must be
terminated with a carriage return (0D hex or 13 decimal), or a new line character (0A hex or 10
decimal), or both.
The Instrument can parse <compound command program header> and <compound query program
header>, which consists of multiple mnemonics separated by colons ":", The Instrument supports to
traversal the tree structured commands described in SCPI. Multiple <PROGRAM MESSAGE UNIT>
elements may be sent in a <PROGRAM MESSAGE>. The first command is always referenced to the
root node. subsequent commands, however, are referenced to the same tree level as the previous
command in a message unit. See the section
for examples.
Examples
Mnemonics may use letter characters, the underscore character ( _ ), and possibly numeric digits as
well. Commands are not case sensitive. Most mnemonics have a long form that is more readable and
a short form consisting of three or four characters that is more efficient. The Instrument can accept
only the exact short and the exact long forms.
Query commands are commands that request data in response. Query commands have a question
mark (?) immediately following the command header. Responses to query commands are generated
immediately and placed in the output buffer. Responses are then transmitted automatically to the PC.
