Programming Language Selection

You can select one of two languages to program the power meter from the remote
interface. The language is SCPI when the power meter is shipped from the factory.
The other language is the Agilent 437B programming language.
The power meter complies with the rules and regulations of the 1995.0 version of
SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). You can determine the
SCPI version with which the power meter is in compliance by sending the
SYSTem:VERSion? command from the remote interface. You cannot query the
SCPI version from the front panel.
