Using SCPI Interfaces

Using the E7501A SCPI Interface

Examples Using

HPBW and VXI-11

These examples are language specific to HP BASIC for Windows (HPBW).

The HPBW program can be running on either the same local PC or a remote

PC that is also running the E7501A SCPI interface with a VXI-11

connection enabled.

The HPBW autost file uses the HPIBS driver to open the interface as

follows:

1. Using the Same PC

, type:

LOAD BIN “HPIBS; DEV hpib7 ISC 7”

where, hpib7 is the SICL interface name configured with the

I/O Config utility and opened with the E7501A SCPI interface.

Using a Remote PC

, type:

LOAD BIN “HPIBS; DEV lan[<IP address>]:hpib7 ISC

7”

2. Your program would then address the Agilent E7501A arbitrary analog

signal development system as follows:

OUTPUT 700; “*IDN?”

ENTER 700; Id$

where, <IP address> is the IP address of the PC that is running the

Agilent E7501A arbitrary analog signal development system, and

hpib7 is the SICL interface name configured with the I/O Config

utility and opened with the E7501A SCPI interface.
