Safety Notices
CAUTION
A CAUTION notice denotes a haz-
ard. It calls attention to an operat-
ing procedure, practice, or the like
that, if not correctly performed or
adhered to, could result in damage
to the product or loss of important
data. Do not proceed beyond a
CAUTION notice until the indicated
conditions are fully understood and
met.
WARNING
A WARNING notice denotes a
hazard. It calls attention to an
operating procedure, practice, or
the like that, if not correctly per-
formed or adhered to, could result
in personal injury or death. Do not
proceed beyond a WARNING
notice until the indicated condi-
tions are fully understood and met.

Agilent InfiniiVision 7000A Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Guide 3
In This Book
This book is your guide to programming the 7000A Series oscilloscopes:
The first few chapters describe how to set up and get started:
•Chapter 1, Chapter 1, “What's New,” starting on page 21, describes
programming command changes in the latest version of oscilloscope
software.
•Chapter 2, Chapter 2, “Setting Up,” starting on page 35, describes the
steps you must take before you can program the oscilloscope.
•Chapter 3, Chapter 3, “Getting Started,” starting on page 45, gives a
general overview of oscilloscope program structure and shows how to
program the oscilloscope using a few simple examples.
•Chapter 4, Chapter 4, “Commands Quick Reference,” starting on page
59, is a brief listing of the 7000 Series oscilloscope commands and
syntax.
The next chapters provide reference information:
•Chapter 5, Chapter 5, “Commands by Subsystem,” starting on page 111,
describes the set of commands that belong to an individual subsystem
and explains the function of each command. Command arguments and
syntax are described. Some command descriptions have example code.
•Chapter 6, Chapter 6, “Commands A- Z,” starting on page 653, contains
an alphabetical listing of all command elements.
•Chapter 7, Chapter 7, “Obsolete and Discontinued Commands,” starting
on page 687, describes obsolete commands which still work but have
been replaced by newer commands and discontinued commands which
are no longer supported.

•Chapter 8, Chapter 8, “Error Messages,” starting on page 743, lists the
instrument error messages that can occur while programming the
oscilloscope.
The command descriptions in this reference show upper and lowercase
characters. For example, :AUToscale indicates that the entire command
name is :AUTOSCALE. The short form, :AUT, is also accepted by the
oscilloscope.
Then, there are chapters that describe programming topics and conceptual
information in more detail:
•Chapter 9, Chapter 9, “Status Reporting,” starting on page 751,
describes the oscilloscope's status registers and how to check the status
of the instrument.
•Chapter 10, Chapter 10, “Synchronizing Acquisitions,” starting on page
775, describes how to wait for acquisitions to complete before querying
measurement results or performing other operations with the captured
data.
•Chapter 11, Chapter 11, “More About Oscilloscope Commands,” starting
on page 785, contains additional information about oscilloscope
programming commands.
Finally, there is a chapter that contains programming examples:
•Chapter 12, Chapter 12, “Programming Examples,” starting on page 811.
Mixed-Signal
Oscilloscope
Channel
Differences
Because both the "analog channels only" oscilloscopes (DSO models) and
the mixed- signal oscilloscopes (MSO models) have analog channels, topics
that describe analog channels refer to all oscilloscope models. Whenever a
topic describes digital channels, that information applies only to the
mixed- signal oscilloscope models.
See Also •For more information on using the SICL, VISA, and VISA COM libraries
in general, see the documentation that comes with the Agilent IO
Libraries Suite.
•For information on controller PC interface configuration, see the
documentation for the interface card used (for example, the Agilent
82350A GPIB interface).
•For information on oscilloscope front-panel operation, see the User's
Guide.
•For detailed connectivity information, refer to the Agilent Technologies
USB/LAN/GPIB Connectivity Guide. For a printable electronic copy of
the Connectivity Guide, direct your Web browser to "www.agilent.com"
and search for "Connectivity Guide".
