Chapter 4 Programming Overview
The SSG5000X Signal Generator features a LAN, USB Device, and SIGLENT
GPIB—USB module interfaces. By using a computer with these interfaces, and a
suitable programming language (Python, C+, .NET, etc., and NI-VISA software),
users can remotely control the signal generator using standard SCPI (Standard
