Programmer’s Guide

Getting Started

The purpose of this chapter is to serve as a reminder of

SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments)

fundamentals to those who have previous experience in

programming SCPI. This chapter is not intended to teach

you everything about the SCPI programming language. If you

are using an optional programming compatibility modes, you

should refer to the manual that came with the option.

1 Getting Started

Remotely Operating Your N9340B

The N9340B provides both the USB and LAN connection

which allows you to set up a remote operation environment

with a controller computer. A controller computer could be a

personal computer (PC), a minicomputer. Some intelligent

instruments also function as controllers.

Computer Requirement for Remote Operation

Usually, you need to prepare an compatible PC with the

following requirements to set up a remote operation

environment:

Processor: 450 MHz Pentium®II or higher required

Operating system: Microsoft®Windows®XP or Home Editon,

Service Pack 1 or later; Windows®2000 Professional, service

pack 4 or later

Available memory: 128 MB or higher required

Available disk space: 175 MB or greater required
