9 Controlling your SLED with SCPI commands
Remote communication with the CohesionSCPI service is achieved through the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI). Support
for VISA I/O API over TCP/IP is provided by the VXI-11 compliant CohesionSCPI service. With VISA communication drivers installed on the client, the
implementation of VISA programming within environments such as MATLAB becomes available.
This section provides information on programming conventions and on commands that are available for communication with the CohesionSCPI
service remotely using the VISA I/O.
For details on programming applications, refer to section
9.1 Overview
You can operate your SLED module using SCPI commands.
