It also introduces the syntax, symbols, parameter types, and abbreviation rules of the SCPI commands.
RIGOL Chapter 1 Programming Overview Build Remote Communication You can build the remote communication between DG800 and the PC via the USB (USB DEVICE), LAN (extended from the USB HOST interface by using the USB-LAN interface converter) or GPIB interface (extended from the USB HOST interface by using the USB-GPIB interface converter). Operation Procedures: 1. Install Ultra Sigma (PC) software Download the Ultra Sigma common PC software from www.rigol.com and install it according to the instructions. 2.
RIGOL Chapter 1 Programming Overview 3. Check whether the connection is successful Run Ultra Sigma, and then search for the resources and right-click the resource name. Select "SCPI Panel Control" to open the SCPI command control panel. Input a correct command in the pop-up SCPI control panel and click and in sequence or directly click to check whether the connection is successful, as shown in the figure below (the USB interface is taken as an example).
RIGOL Chapter 1 Programming Overview Remote Control Method 1. User-defined programming You can use the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) commands listed in Chapter 2 "Command System" of this manual to program and control the instrument in various development environments (e.g. Visual C++, Visual Basic, and LabVIEW). For details, refer to descriptions in Chapter 4 "Programming Examples". 2.
Chapter 1 Programming Overview RIGOL Symbol Description The following four symbols are not part of the SCPI command, and they are not sent with the commands, but taken as delimiters to better describe the parameters in the command. 1. Braces { } The contents enclosed in the braces can contain multiple parameter options; and the vertical bar is used to separate multiple parameter options. When sending the command, you must select one of the parameters.
RIGOL Chapter 1 Programming Overview For example, MINimum and MAXimum in the :DISPlay:BRIGhtness {|MINimum|MAXimum} command are used to set the brightness to the minimum or maximum.
