3 Introduction to Programming
This chapter introduces the basics for remote programming of an
oscilloscope. The programming commands in this manual conform to the
IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation.
The programming commands provide the means of remote control.
Basic operations that you can do with a computer and an oscilloscope
include:
• Set up the oscilloscope.
• Make measurements.
• Get data (waveform, measurements, and configuration) from the
oscilloscope.
• Send information, such as waveforms and configurations, to the
oscilloscope.
You can accomplish other tasks by combining these functions.
