Remote Operation

The instrument supports numerous SCPI commands and some instrument specific commands. These commands

enable a computer to remotely communicate and control the instrument over any of the supported remote

interfaces: USBTMC, USBCDC(Virtual COM), RS-232, and GPIB.

Refer to the programming manual for details, which can be downloaded from www.bkprecision.com.

5.1 Remote Interfaces

5.1.1 RS232

For RS232 interface, use the DB-9 serial port in the back panel. The baud rate seings must be configured to

match the same baud rate as configured on the computer that is connected to the instrument for remote control.

Select the Baud Rate parameter to change/set the baud rate. The instrument is set to the following serial seings:

• Parity:None

• Data bits: 8

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow Control: None

Note: The DB-9 serial connector (RS-232C) on the back of the instrument requires using

a null modem or crossover DB-9 serial cable.
