RIGOL Programming Introduction This part intrduces the basic programming operations.These programming commands provide the methods for remote control to a multimeter. The Basic operations that you can do with a computer and a multimeter include: Setup a multimeter. Measure. Receive data (equipment working condition or measurement results) from a multimeter. A computer can communicate with a multimeter by sending and receiving messages over an I/O port, such as USB, GPIB port or a RS-232 port.
RIGOL Symbol Instruction 1. Colon : Commands usually begin with a colon (:). A colon (:) is used to separate a command keyword from a lower-level keyword. It shows the operation that a multimeter will implement. 2. Blank Space □ A Blank space is used to separate commands from the program data. If your command does not need any program data, the blank space is not needed. 3. Interrogation ? A query is formed by adding an interrogation (?) to the end of the commands.

RIGOL Chapter 4 DM3000 Commands Examples This chapter lists some application examples of RIGOL DM3000 commands. Users can refer and deepen the understanding to the commands. In order to explain easily, the serial number before every command is used to mark current command but not be the content of command. The contents between “ / * ” and “ * / ” after every command are explanations which can help users to understand. Before operating, please connect the related test equipment and the tested device.
RIGOL Example 1 : Reading Statistic Purpose: To achieve the maximum statistic. In maximum statistic calculation, the first reading is regarded as the maximum. If continuing measuring, the multimeter is updating the readings. Until catching the maximum, the multimeter is beeping(the beeper must be on).
RIGOL Example 2 : Elimination of test impedance error Purpose: To eliminate impedance error of test down-lead In measuring the smaller resistance, the impedance of test down-lead leads to error. So uses should eliminate the impedance error of test down-lead before measuring.
RIGOL Example 3 : dBm Measurement Purpose: To achieve dBm measurement. dBm is a commonly measure units which widely used in electrical, radio, mechanics, shock and vibration, mechanical power and acoustics, and other fields, and dBm caluation is usually used for RF signal measurement.
