Preparing for Remote Control

The Broadband Source can be controlled remotely either by GPIB or

RS-232.

Note: When the Broadband Source is being controlled remotely, RM appears in

the upper right corner of the display.

EXFO supplies commands that follow the guidelines determined by the
SCPI consortium. The same commands are used in both GPIB and RS-232
communication. You can find detailed information about these commands
in the IEEE 488.2 and Specific Command Reference appendix.

Linking Units with the GPIB Port

Your FLS-2200 Broadband Source is equipped with a GPIB port. You can
simply use a GPIB cable to link it to the other unit with which you want to
perform remote control. The GPIB port is located at the back of Broadband
Source, as shown below.
