Programming Guide
The following programming instructions for the SCG unit are intended for users who are familiar
with the GPIB interface and how to send or receive messages over the bus. A detailed
description of the GPIB interface is contained in
ANSI/IEEE Std. 488.1-1987 IEEE Standard
Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation
,
published by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
The SCG unit is equipped with a GPIB parallel interface and an RS232C serial interface. The
unit accepts the same device-dependent commands (commands that control the instrument)
over either interface.
