Operator’s Manual
Remote Control Commands
When attached to a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope equipped with ProBus
interface, the ADP30x Active Differential Probe can be remotely controlled,
along with the other oscilloscope functions. The control interface can be either
the RS-232 or IEE-488 (GPIB) buses. The commands that control the probe are
described below. The text for the command description is formatted in a style
consistent with the oscilloscope command description contained in the Teledyne
LeCroy Digital Oscilloscopes Remote Control Manual supplied with the
oscilloscope. Please refer to this manual for additional information on the
remote control buses and the conventions used in the command descriptions.
The commands begin with the "PRx:" prefix, where "x" is the channel that the
ADP30x is connected to. These commands are similar to the channel commands
that use the prefix "Cx:". The difference is that the "PRx:" form refers to the
probe tip, whereas the "Cx:" form refers to the oscilloscope input connector.
For example, "PRx:VDIV" sets the Volts per division at the probe tip, while
"Cx:VDIV" sets the Volts per division at the BNC input connector, without
factoring the gain or attenuation factor of ADP30x probe. The "PRx:" form of
these commands are only active when the ADP30x probe is connected to the
selected channel. An error will result when an ADP30x specific command is sent
to the oscilloscope without a differential probe connected to the selected
channel.
Command List
PRx:AUTOZERO
Initiates an auto zero cycle in the probe.
PRx:BWL
Selects the probe upper bandwidth limit.
PRx:COUPLING
Selects the input coupling of the probe.
PRx:OFFSET
Selects the probe offset voltage.
PRx:VDIV
Selects the vertical scale factor of the
probe/oscilloscope system.
