In This Book
This book is your guide to programming the 5000 Series oscilloscopes:
The first few chapters describe how to set up and get started:
• Chapter 1, Chapter 1, “What's New,” starting on page 21, describes
programming command changes in the latest version of oscilloscope
software.
• Chapter 2, Chapter 2, “Setting Up,” starting on page 37, describes the
steps you must take before you can program the oscilloscope.
• Chapter 3, Chapter 3, “Getting Started,” starting on page 47, gives a
general overview of oscilloscope program structure and shows how to
program the oscilloscope using a few simple examples.
• Chapter 4, Chapter 4, “Commands Quick Reference,” starting on page
61, is a brief listing of the 5000 Series oscilloscope commands and
syntax.
The next chapters provide reference information:
• Chapter 5, Chapter 5, “Commands by Subsystem,” starting on page 109,
describes the set of commands that belong to an individual subsystem
and explains the function of each command. Command arguments and

oscilloscope.
