:SERial
(Serial Number)
Command
:SERial {<serial_number>}
The :SERial command sets the serial number of the oscilloscope. A serial
number was entered in your oscilloscope by Agilent Technologies before it
was shipped to you. Therefore, setting the serial number is not normally
required unless the oscilloscope is serialized for a different application.
The oscilloscope's serial number is part of the string returned for the
*IDN? query described in the Common Commands chapter.
<serial
_number>
A ten- character alphanumeric serial number enclosed with quotation
marks.
Example This example sets the serial number for the oscilloscope to "US12345678".
myScope.WriteString ":SERIAL ""US12345678"""
Query :SERial?
The query returns the current serial number string for the oscilloscope.
Returned Format
[:SERial] US12345678
Example This example places the serial number for the oscilloscope in the string
variable strSerial, then prints the contents of the variable to the
computer's screen.
Dim strSerial As String ' Dimension variable.
myScope.WriteString ":SERIAL?"
strSerial = myScope.ReadString
Debug.Print strSerial
