Finding and Querying Instruments
66 E5810B User’s Guide
Using the instrument command line
For supported instruments, you can also query an
instrument by first highlighting the instrument in the
Instruments Connected column, type in a SCPI command,
such as meas:volt:dc? on the Instrument Command line,
and then select Send, Receive, or Query.
To send a command to the instrument without waiting for a
response, select Send. Sending a string to the instrument
does not return a result.
To receive a string from the instrument, select Receive. To
perform sending the string and receiving a response from
the instrument, select Query.
NOTE
The display buffers up to 200 lines of information. At 200 lines, the last
lines are overwritten with new information. At this point, you may want to
select the Clear History button.
