to “RUNTime:CONTroller” command on page 7-8 and Chapter 6,
“Programming” for more information.
Direct Control
Direct control is where the host computer issues GPIB commands and the
85330A executes them immediately. For example, the
ROUTe:CLOSe (port

switch states. Use of such commands is referred to as direct control.
