Step 11: Download Device Drivers
If your instrument is not listed in the table below, you must download the device driver so that the
mainframe can interpret the instrument’s SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments)
commands. Device drivers enable register-based modules to be programmed using SCPI commands.
