Functions
The TE5200drv.dll controls the complete functionality of the
instrument. You also have to use this dll to communicate with your
instrument. Communication with the instrument is done using SCPI
commands. The SCPI commands by themselves cannot program the
instrument but must be used with conjunction with the TE5200drv.dll.
There are two library functions that call this dll. These functions are
described in the following..
