Agilent B2900 SCPI Command Reference, Edition 2 2- 3
Subsystem Command Summary
NOTE All commands described in this chapter are effective for the default remote control 
mode which supports all B2900 functions. B2900 uses this mode if it is not changed 
since the instrument is shipped from the factory.
You may want to use existing programs for controlling existing instruments, such as 
Series 2400 from Keithley Instruments, Inc. To do so, refer to 
Chapter 6, “Using 
Your Existing Programs.” B2900 can support many of the conventional SCPI 
commands by switching the remote control mode.
NOTE The following subsystem commands are classified under the TRIGger subsystem 
because they are used for trigger operations.
• ABORt
•ARM
•IDLE
•INITiate
•TRIGger
For examples of the SMU source output and measurement operation, see Figure 2-7. 
Also see Figures 2-6 and 2-8 for using the trigger commands. For these commands, 
see Table 2-10.
NOTE For details on numeric suffixes [c], [d], [h], [m], and [n], see “Numeric Suffix” on 
page 1-8.
