SCPI.NET Examples
You can also program the oscilloscope using the SCPI.NET drivers that come with
Keysight's free Command Expert software.
While you can write code manually using the SCPI.NET drivers, you can also use
the Command Expert software to:
• Connect to instruments and control them interactively using SCPI command
sets.
• Quickly prototype and test command sequences.
• Generate C#, VB.NET, or C/C++ code for command sequences.
• Find, download, and install SCPI command sets.
• Browse command trees, search for commands, and view command
descriptions.
The Command Expert suite also comes with Add-ons for easy instrument control
and measurement data retrieval in NI LabVIEW, Microsoft Excel, Keysight VEE, and
Keysight SystemVue.
To download the Keysight Command Expert software, see:
http://www.keysight.com/find/commandexpert
For more on programming with the SCPI.NET drivers, see "Using SCPI.NET
Drivers" in the help that comes with Keysight Command Expert.
