Remote Control Operation
Refer to the Remote Control Manual supplied on CD with your oscilloscope for
more information.
You can fully control your instrument remotely by using either the optional
GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) port or the LAN communication port on
the oscilloscope's rear panel, shown below. The only actions for which you
must use the front panel controls are the powering up of the oscilloscope and
the setting of remote control addresses.
Standards
Teledyne LeCroy remote control commands conform to the GPIB IEEE 488.2
6
standard. This may be considered an extension of the IEEE 488.1 standard,
which deals mainly with electrical and mechanical issues. Teledyne LeCroy
also supports LXI (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) over the LAN port.
Program Messages
You control the oscilloscope remotely using program messages that consist of
one or more commands or queries. The program messages you send from the
external controller to the oscilloscope must conform to precise format
structures. The oscilloscope executes all program messages sent in the correct
form, but ignores the ones with errors.
