Chapters 1 and 2 of your VT1413C or Agilent/HP E1313 manual. Identifying the Plug-on You’ll find the VXI Technology part number on the connector side of the SCP to the left of the serial number bar code. For the VT1509A, the part number is : VT1509A.
Connecting To The Terminal Module This section shows how to make connections to the Terminal Module. The SCP connections for the Terminal Modules are shown on the stick-on labels that came with the SCP. Use the appropriate label for the type of Terminal Module you have.
Programming With SCPI Commands The SCPI commands shown here are covered in Chapters 3 and 5 of your VT1413C or Agilent/HP E1313 manual. This section will relate those commands to the parameter values which are specific to this Plug-on. Checking the ID To verify the SCP type(s) installed on the VT1413C or Agilent/HP E1313 use the SYSTem:CTYPe? (@<channel>) command.

The channel parameter must specify a single channel. To query the filter state of channel 2 send INP:FILT? (@102) query channel 2 enter statement here Querying the While the VT1509A’s amplifiers have fixed gain, the channel gain can be queried. The response to this query will always be 64. To query any channel Channel Gain to determine its gain setting use the INPut:GAIN? (@<channel>) command.
NOTES 1) When OTD is enabled, the inputs have up to 0.2 µA injected into them. If this current will adversely affect your measurement, but you still want to check for open transducers, you can enable OTD, make a single scan, check the CVT for bad measurements, then disable OTD and make your regular measurement scans.
