U3042AE12 Controlling the Test Set with N5242A or N5230C
GPIB Command Processor Console
Write Commands
Once the GPIB Command Processor Console is open, commands can
remotely control the external Test Set I/O connector by sending the following:
address: a integer number
data: a integer number
Address and data are separated by a comma. Commands should be separated by a new line, or
carriage return.
For example:
CONT:EXT:TEST:DATA <address>,<data>
CONT:EXT:TEST:DATA 0,0
Example: CONT:EXT:TEST:DATA 0,0
Read Commands
address: a integer number
Address is entered, data value will be returned. Commands should be executed with a carriage
return (enter).
For example:
CONT:EXT:TEST:DATA? <address>
CONT:EXT:TEST:DATA? 0
Example: CONT:EXT:TEST:DATA? 0
This command reads the decimal equivalent of the binary data from the specified address.
The example shown above illustrates address is 0 and the returned data is 8191. Refer to
“Test Set I/O Interface Commands” on page 61.
