ESA Programming Examples
Examples Included in this Chapter:
This chapter includes C programming examples of how to program the ESA series
using SCPI commands. Twelve examples are written for ESA analyzers with GPIB
interface (Option A4H). Three examples are written for ESA analyzers with an
RS-232 interface (Option 1AX). These examples do not apply to analyzers that
have Option 290 (8590 Series Programming Code Compatibility).
