35.1. PRESENTATION
The oscilloscope can be remotely programmed with a computer, from simple standardized commands and using the optical in-
terface USB-RS.
The programming instructions comply with standard IEEE488.2, and the SCPI protocol (Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments).
This remote programming enables :
Instrument configuration
Measurement campaigns and their repatriation
File transfer (traces, configuration, hardcopy ...)
35.2. CONNECTION OF THE INSTRUMENT
The dialogue between the instrument and the PC can be realized via the optical USB link through the HX0056-Z cable.
Connect the USB side of the cable to one of the PC USB inputs.
If necessary, install the USB driver supplied with the cord.
The PC's operating system creates a virtual communication port COMi (with 'i ' number depending on your computer).
Configure the PC port created on the PC to the same parameters as those of the oscilloscope.

35.3.1. TREE STRUCTURE
The Command SCPI structure is a tree structure
Each command must be ended by a <NL> or <;> terminator character.
The command used after the <;> character must be in the same directory as the precedent command, otherwise it must be
preceded by the <:> character and its full name.
Example :
DISP:TRAC:STAT1 1<NL>
DISP:TRAC:STAT2 1<NL>
same as :
DISP:TRAC:STAT1 1;STAT2 1<NL>
same as :
DISP:TRAC:STAT1 1;: DISP:TRAC:STAT2 1<NL>
