Agilent Infiniium 90000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Reference 3

In This Book

This book is your guide to programming the Infiniium 90000 Series

oscilloscopes These oscilloscopes include the 90000A Series, the

90000 X- Series, and the 90000 Q- Series.

Chapter 1, “What's New,” starting on page 29, describes programming

command changes in the latest version of oscilloscope software.

Chapter 2, “Setting Up,” starting on page 43, describes the steps you must

take before you can control the oscilloscope with remote programs.

The next several chapters give you an introduction to programming the

oscilloscopes, along with necessary conceptual information. These chapters

describe basic program communications, interface, syntax, data types, and

status reporting:

•Chapter 3, “Introduction to Programming,” starting on page 51

•Chapter 4, “LAN, USB, and GPIB Interfaces,” starting on page 87

•Chapter 5, “Message Communication and System Functions,” starting on

page 99

•Chapter 6, “Status Reporting,” starting on page 103

•Chapter 7, “Remote Acquisition Synchronization,” starting on page 127

•Chapter 8, “Programming Conventions,” starting on page 137

The next chapters describe the commands used to program the

oscilloscopes. Each chapter describes the set of commands that belong to

an individual subsystem, and explains the function of each command.

•Chapter 9, “Acquire Commands,” starting on page 147

•Chapter 33, “Trigger Commands,” starting on page 831

•Chapter 34, “Waveform Commands,” starting on page 931

•Chapter 35, “Waveform Memory Commands,” starting on page 991

Chapter 36, “Obsolete and Discontinued Commands,” starting on page

1001, describes obsolete (deprecated) commands that still work but have

been replaced by newer commands, and lists discontinued commands that

are no longer supported.

Chapter 37, “Error Messages,” starting on page 1007, describes error

messages.

Chapter 38, “Sample Programs,” starting on page 1019, shows example

programs in various languages using the VISA COM, VISA, and SICL

libraries.

Finally, Chapter 39, “Reference,” starting on page 1151, contains file

format descriptions.

See Also •For more information on using the SICL, VISA, and VISA COM libraries

in general, see the documentation that comes with the Agilent IO

Libraries Suite.

•For information on controller PC interface configuration, see the

documentation for the interface card used (for example, the Agilent

82350A GPIB interface).

•For information on oscilloscope front-panel operation, see the User's

Guide.

•For detailed connectivity information, refer to the Agilent Technologies

USB/LAN/GPIB Connectivity Guide. For a printable electronic copy of

the Connectivity Guide, direct your Web browser to "www.agilent.com"
