SCPI drivers
In this manual, all programming examples and procedures assume the use of
the SCPI driver and HP E1406A Command Module. The HP E1418A
module is shipped with two 3.5" disks. These disks contain the SCPI driver
for the HP E1406A Command Module. One disk is in LIF format and one
disk is in DOS format. Installing Device Drivers Installation Note is
included with the disks. Follow the instructions contained in the installation
note to properly install the device driver.
Use the DIAG:DRIV:LIST? query on the command module to verify that
the correct device driver is installed. Responses to this query vary
depending upon the drivers loaded on your system. A typical response
contains a list of all drivers installed and might look like:
E1418,E1418,A.01.00,RAM;SWITCH,SWITCHBOX,A.08.00,RAM
;
SYSTEM,E1405A,A.08.00,ROM;IBASIC,IBASIC,A.04.02,ROM;
VOLTMTR,E1326A,A.05.00,ROM;SWITCH,SWITCHBOX,A.07.00,
ROM;COUNTER,E1332A,A.04.02,ROM;COUNTER,E1333A,A.04.0
2,ROM;
DIG_I/O,E1330A,A.04.03,ROM;D/A,E1328A,A.04.02,ROM
The string E1418,E1418,A.01.00, should be located somewhere
within the returned string.
