II DG2000 Programming Guide
Document Overview
This manual introduces how to program the signal generator over the remote interfaces in details.
Main Topics in this Manual:
Chapter 1 Programming Overview
This chapter introduces how to build the remote communication between the signal generator and the PC;
how to control the signal generator remotely. It also introduces the syntax, symbols, parameter types, and
abbreviation rules of the SCPI commands.
Chapter 2 Command System
