1.1 Overview
This application can be controlled from an external controller (PC) by
remote control commands using the MS2690/MS2691/MS2692A or
MS2830A Signal Analyzer (hereinafter, referred to as “this instrument”).
The remote control commands are defined by the SCPI format.
1.1.1 Interface
This instrument has GPIB, Ethernet, and USB interfaces for remote
control. Those interfaces cannot be used at the same time.
The interface is automatically determined when a command is received
at the start of communication. This instrument enters the remote state
after the interface has been determined. The front panel lamp
lights during remote interface operation, and goes off during
local-interface operation.
Refer to the “MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A and MS2830A Signal
Analyzer Operation Manual (Mainframe Remote Control)” for more
details of the basic operations for remote control, such as interface
setting.
