1.1 Overview
Automatic measurement can be performed by using this instrument in
connection with an external controller (PC). This instrument is standard
equipped with GPIB, Ethernet, and USB interfaces. You can also select a
remote control command from the SCPI mode, which is a command
format defined by the SCPI Consortium, and Native mode, which is our
unique format.
See the
MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A and MS2830A/MS2840A Signal
Analyzer Operation Manual (Mainframe Remote Control)
for how to
switch the language mode.
You can use the Native mode by converting SCPI commands into Native
ones. See the
MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A and MS2830A/MS2840A
Signal Analyzer Operation Manual (Mainframe Remote Control)
for
details.
