Getting Started This manual explains the use of commands for remotely controlling your oscilloscope. With this information, you can write computer programs to perform functions, such as setting the front-panel controls, taking measurements, performing statistical calculations, and exporting data for use in other programs. Setting Up Remote Communications You can remotely communicate between your oscilloscope and PC via the Ethernet, USB, and, GPIB using the TEK-USB-488 Adapter.
Getting Started With USB, the system automatically configures itself. To verify that the USB is enabled: 1. On the front panel, push Utility. 2. Push Utility Page. 3. Select I/O with the Multipurpose knob. 4. Push USB, and verify that USB is enabled. 5. If USB is disabled, push Connect to computer on the side-bezel menu. After connection, the host, with appropriate software, can list the oscilloscope as a USB device with the following parameters. (See Table 1-1.
Getting Started The oscilloscope has a USB 2.0 High speed device port to control the oscilloscope through USBTMC or GPIB with a TEK-USB-488 Adapter. The USBTMC protocol allows USB devices to communicate using IEEE488 style messages. This lets you run your GPIB software applications on USB hardware.
Getting Started Documentation The following documents are available for download on the Manuals Finder Web site at www.tektronix.com: MSO4000 and DPO4000 Series Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes User Manual. Information about installing and operating the oscilloscope. Getting Started with OpenChoice ™ Solutions Manual. Options for getting data from your oscilloscope into any one of several available analysis tools. MSO4000 and DPO4000 Series Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes Technical Reference.
Command Syntax You can control the operations and functions of the oscilloscope through the Ethernet port or the USB 2.0 device port using commands and queries. The related topics listed below describe the syntax of these commands and queries. The topics also describe the conventions that the oscilloscope uses to process them. See the Command Groups topic in the table of contents for a listing of the commands by command group, or use the index to locate a specific command.
Command Syntax Table 2-2: Command Message Elements Commands Symbol Meaning This is the basic command name. If the header ends with a question mark, the command is a query. The header may begin with a colon (:) character. If the command is concatenated with other commands, the beginning colon is required. Never use the beginning colon with command headers beginning with a star (*). This is a header subfunction. Some command headers have only one mnemonic.
Command Syntax Queries Queries cause the oscilloscope to return status or setting information. Queries have the structure: [:] [:][ []...] You can specify a query command at any level within the command tree unless otherwise noted. These branch queries return information about all the mnemonics below the specified branch or level. Headers Use the HEADer command to control whether the oscilloscope returns headers as part of the query response.
Command Syntax Abbreviating You can abbreviate many oscilloscope commands. Each command in this documentation shows the minimum acceptable abbreviations in capitals. For example, you can enter the command ACQuire:NUMAvg simply as ACQ:NUMA or acq:numa. Abbreviation rules may change over time as new oscilloscope models are introduced. Thus, for the most robust code, use the full spelling.
Command Syntax If the header is off: FULL;1 5. Set commands and queries may be concatenated in the same message. For example, ACQuire:MODe SAMple;NUMAVg?;STATE? is a valid message that sets the acquisition mode to sample. The message then queries the number of acquisitions for averaging and the acquisition state. Concatenated commands and queries are executed in the order received.
Command Syntax Cursor Position Mnemonics When cursors are displayed, commands may specify which cursor of the pair to use. Table 2-5: Channel Mnemonics Symbol Meaning CH A channel specifier; is 1 through 4. Table 2-6: Cursor Mnemonics Math Specifier Mnemonics Symbol Meaning CURSOR A cursor selector; is either 1 or 2. POSITION A cursor selector; is either 1 or 2. HPOS A cursor selector; is either 1 or 2.
Command Syntax Argument Types Commands use arguments such as enumeration, numeric, quoted string and block. Each of these arguments are listed in detail below. Enumeration Enter these arguments as unquoted text words. Like key words, enumeration arguments follow the same convention where the portion indicated in uppercase is required and that in lowercase is optional. For example: SAVe:WAVEform:FILEFormat INTERNal Numeric Many oscilloscope commands require numeric arguments.
Command Syntax A quoted string can include any character defined in the 7-bit ASCII character set. Follow these rules when you use quoted strings: 1. Use the same type of quote character to open and close the string. For example: "this is a valid string". 2. You can mix quotation marks within a string as long as you follow the previous rule. For example: "this is an ’acceptable’ string". 3. You can include a quote character within a string by repeating the quote. For example: "here is a "" mark". 4.

Command Groups NOTE. Using back slash as a path separator may produce some unexpected results, depending on how your application treats escaped characters. Many applications recognize the sequence of back slash followed by an alphabetic character as an escaped character, and, as such, interpret that alphabetic character as a control character. For example, the sequence "\n" may be interpreted as a newline character; "\t" may be interpreted as a tab character.

Status and Events The oscilloscope provides a status and event reporting system for the Ethernet, GPIB (with the TEK-USB-488 Adapter), and USB interfaces. This system informs you of certain significant events that occur within the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope status handling system consists of five 8-bit registers and two queues for each interface. The remaining Status subtopics describe these registers and components. They also explain how the event handling system operates.
Status and Events Table 3-1: SESR Bit Functions Bit Function 7 (MSB) PON Power On. Shows that the oscilloscope was powered on. On completion, the diagnostic self tests also set this bit. 6 URQ User Request. Indicates that an application event has occurred. *See note. 5 CME 4 EXE Command Error. Shows that an error occurred while the oscilloscope was parsing a command or query. Execution Error. Shows that an error executing a command or query. 3 DDE Device Error.
Status and Events Table 3-2: SBR Bit Functions (cont.) Bit Function 4 MAV Message Available. Shows that output is available in the Output Queue. 2 ———— Not used. ———— Not used. 1–0 ———— Not used. 3 Enable Registers DESER, ESER, and SRER allow you to select which events are reported to the Status Registers and the Event Queue.
Status and Events Use the *SRE command to set the SRER. Use the *SRE? query to read the register. The RQS bit remains set to one until either the Status Byte Register is read with a Serial Poll or the MSS bit changes back to a zero. Figure 3-5: The Service Request Enable Register (SRER) *PSC Command The *PSC command controls the Enable Registers contents at power-on.
Status and Events Event Queue The Event Queue stores detailed information on up to 33 events. If than 32 events stack up in the Event Queue, the 32nd event is replaced by event code 350, "Queue Overflow." Read the Event Queue with the EVENT? query (which returns only the event number), with the EVMSG? query (which returns the event number and a text description of the event), or with the ALLEV? query (which returns all the event numbers along with a description of the event).
Status and Events Figure 3-6: Status and Event Handling Process When an event occurs, a signal is sent to the DESER (1). If that type of event is enabled in the DESER (that is, if the bit for that event type is set to 1), the appropriate bit in the SESR is set to one, and the event is recorded in the Event Queue (2). If the corresponding bit in the ESER is also enabled (3), then the ESB bit in the SBR is set to one (4). When output is sent to the Output Queue, the MAV bit in the SBR is set to one (5).
Status and Events Synchronization Methods Overview Although most commands are completed almost immediately after being received by the oscilloscope, some commands start a process that requires time. For example, once a single sequence acquisition command is executed, depending upon the applied signals and trigger settings, it may take a few seconds before the acquisition is complete. Rather than remain idle while the operation is in process, the oscilloscope will continue processing other commands.
Status and Events For example, a typical application might involve acquiring a single-sequence waveform and then taking a measurement on the acquired waveform.
Status and Events The same command sequence using the *WAI command for synchronization looks like this: /* Set up conditional acquisition */ ACQUIRE:STATE OFF SELECT:CH1 ON HORIZONTAL:RECORDLENGTH 1000 ACQUIRE:MODE SAMPLE ACQUIRE:STOPAFTER SEQUENCE /* Acquire waveform data */ ACQUIRE:STATE ON /* Set up the measurement parameters */ MEASUREMENT:IMMED:TYPE AMPLITUDE MEASUREMENT:IMMED:SOURCE CH1 /* Wait until the acquisition is complete before taking the measurement*/ */ *WAI /* Take amplitude measurement */
Status and Events /* Take amplitude measurement */ MEASUREMENT:IMMED:VALUE This sequence lets you create your own wait loop rather than using the *WAI command. The BUSY? query helps you avoid time-outs caused by writing too many commands to the input buffer. The controller is still tied up though, and the repeated BUSY? query will result in bus traffic.
Status and Events Service Request Method: Enable the OPC bit in the Device Event Status Enable Register (DESER) and the Event Status Enable Register (ESER) using the DESE and *ESE commands. You can also enable service requests by setting the ESB bit in the Service Request Enable Register (SRER) using the *SRE command. When the operation is complete, the oscilloscope will generate a Service Request.
Status and Events /* Acquire waveform data */ ACQUIRE:STATE ON /* Set up the measurement parameters */ MEASUREMENT:IMMED:TYPE AMPLITUDE MEASUREMENT:IMMED:SOURCE CH1 /* Wait until the acquisition is complete before taking the measurement*/ *OPC Wait for read from Output Queue. /* Take amplitude measurement */ MEASUREMENT:IMMED:VALUE This is the simplest approach. It requires no status handling or loops. However, you must set the controller time-out for longer than the acquisition operation.
