1.1 Overview
Automatic measurement can be performed by using this instrument in
connection with an external controller (PC). This instrument is
standardly 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/MS2850A 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/MS2850A Signal Analyzer Operation Manual
(Mainframe Remote Control) for details.
To use the Signal Analyzer function on the MS2830A or MS2840A,
Analysis Bandwidth 10 MHz Option or greater is required.
