Programming
The PXA125
The PXA125 does not have front panel control capability. Also,
waveform data and sequence tables must be loaded to the PXA125
from a host computer before it can be output arbitrary or sequenced
waveforms. There are a number of ways to “talk” to the instrument.
They all require that an appropriate software driver be installed in the
host computer. The rest is a matter of practice and knowledge of the
language in use. These topics are discussed in later chapters.
Low level programming of the PXA125 is accomplished using SCPI
(Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) language.
Programming aspects are covered in Chapter 4.
Supplied with the PXA125 is a PC software package called
ArbConnection. This software provides a user interface that allows
interacting with and controlling the PXA125 directly. Details on how to
use ArbConnection are given in Chapter 3.
