This is GPIB Programming with the Agilent 35670A. It contains the command syntax, structure and a
detailed description of each GPIB command available for the Agilent 35670A. In addition, it contains
instrument-specific information not available in the GPIB Programmer's Guide.
For an introduction to GPIB programming, read the GPIB Programmer's Guide. It is intended for people
not familiar with GPIB programming or remote control of an instrument. The book introduces the basic
concepts of GPIB programming and describes the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments
(SCPI). In addition, it describes how to operate an instrument in an GPIB system and how to transfer data
between an external controller and an instrument.
Chapter 1 presents GPIB programming information specific to the Agilent 35670A. It includes:
How to setup the Agilent 35670A to an external controller and how to verify it works.
A description of the Agilent 35670A's input, output and error queues.
A listing of GPIB commands that require synchronization or passing control.
A description of each of the Agilent 35670A's status registers.
A listing of all SCPI commands.
Chapter 2 describes the conventions and syntax descriptions used in the command reference chapters, and
a section on finding commands.
Chapters 3 - 24, the Command Reference, contain a detailed description of each GPIB command. The
commands are organized alphabetically. A chapter introduction describes the SCPI subsystem and where
it fits in the flow of control and measurement data within the Agilent 35670A.
The appendices, A - F, contain a variety of reference material:
Appendix A provides a quick reference to the Agilent 35670A's GPIB command set.
Appendix B provides a cross reference of the Agilent 35670A's hardkeys and softkeys and their
equivalent GPIB commands.
Appendix C provides a complete listing of the Agilent 35670A's error messages.
Appendix D provides a list of valid GPIB commands for each of the major instrument modes.
Appendix E explains how to determine the Y-axis units you send with certain commands.
Appendix F lists some of the example programs for the Agilent 35670A that appear on the Agilent
35670A Example Programs Disk. The example programs demonstrate how to transfer data between
the Agilent 35670A and an external controller.
Included in the documentation set is the "Agilent 35670A GPIB Commands: Quick Reference." This
card provides quick and convenient access to command syntax and structure.
