To Build Remote Communication

You can build the remote communication between DSG800 and the PC via USB or LAN interface.

Operating Steps:

1. Install the Ultra Sigma common PC software

Acquire the Ultra Sigma common PC software from www.rigol.com or the resource CD in the standard accessories; then, install it according to the instructions.

2. Connect the instrument and PC and configure the interface parameters of the instrument

DSG800 supports USB and LAN communication interfaces, as shown in the figure below.

LAN USB DEVICE

Figure 1-1 DSG800 Communication Interfaces

(1) Use the USB interface:

Connect the USB DEVICE interface at th e rear panel of DSG800 and the USB HOST interface of the

PC using a USB cable .

(2) Use the LAN interface:

 Make sure that your PC is connected to the local network.  Check whether your l ocal network supports DHCP or auto IP mode. If not, you need to

acquire the network interface parameters available, including the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS.

 Connect DSG800 to the local network using a network cable.  Press Syst  I/O Config  LAN to configure the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and

DNS of the instrument.

3. Check whether the connection is successful

Start-up Ultra Sigma, sea rch for the RF signal generator resource, right-click the resource name and select "SCPI Panel Contro l" from the pop-up menu. Enter the correct command in the pop-up SCPI control panel and click Send Command, Read Response or Send&Read to check whether the connection is successful, as shown in the figure on the next page (take the USB interface as an example).

DSG800 Programming Guide 1-3

Command System in various development environments

Page 18

RIGOL Chapter 1 Programming Overview

SCPI Command Overview

SCPI (Standard Comm ands for Programmable Instruments) is a standardized instrument programming language that is based on the standard IEEE488.1 and IEEE488.2 and conforms to various standards (such as the floating point operation rule in IEEE754 standard, ISO646 7-bit coded character for information interchange (equivalent to ASCll programming)). This chapter describes the syntax, symbols, parameters and abbreviation rules of the SCPI commands.

Syntax

SCPI commands present a hierarchical tree structure and have multiple sub-systems, each of which contains a root keyword and one or more sub-keywords. The command string usually begins with ":"; the keywords are separted by ":" and are followed by the parameter settings available; "?" is added at the end of the command string to indicate query; space is used to separate the command and parameter.

For example, :SYSTem:COMMunication:LAN:IP:ADDress <value> :SYSTem:COMMunication:LAN:IP:ADDress?

SYSTem is the root keyword of the command above. COMMunication, LAN, IP and ADDress are the second-level, third-level, forth-level and fifth-level keywords respectively . The command string begins with ":" which is also used to separate the multi-level keywords. <value> denotes the parameter available for setting. "?" denotes query and the RF signal ge nerator returns the response information (the output value or internal setting value of the instrument ) when receiving a query command. The command :SYSTem:COMMunication:LAN:IP:ADDress and prarameter <value> are separated by a space.

"," is generally used for separating different parameters contained in the same command; for example, [:SOURce]:SWEep:LIST:LIST? <Start>,<Count>

Symbol Description

The following four symbols are not the content of SCPI commands and will not be sent with the command; but, they are usually used to describe the parameters in the commands.

1. Braces { } Multiple optional parameters are enclosed in the braces and one of the parameters must be selected when sending the co mmand.

2. Vertical Bar | The vartical bar is used to separate multiple parameters. When you send a command, one of the parameters must be selected. For example, the :SYSTem:LANGuage CHINese|ENGLish command.

3. Square Brackets [ ] The contents (command keywords) enclosed in the square brackets are optional and will be executed no matter whether they are omitted or not. For example, for the [:SOURce]:AM[:DEPTh]? command, sending any of the four commands below can generate the same effect. :AM? :AM:DEPTh? :SOURce:AM? :SOURce:AM:DEPTh?

4. Triangle Brackets < > The parameter enclosed in the triangle brack ets must be replaced by an effective value. For example, send the [:SOURce ] :FR EQ u enc y <value > command in :FREQuency 4MHz form.

1-4 DSG800 Programming Guide

Page 19

Chapter 1 Programming Overview RIGOL

Parameter Type

The parameters of the commands introduced in this manual contains 5 types: bool, integer, real number, discrete and ASCII string.

1. Bool The parameter could be OFF, ON, 0 or 1. For example, [:SOURce]:AM:STATe ON|OFF|1|0.

2. Integer Unless otherwise noted, the parameter can be any integer within the effective value range. Note that do not set the parameter to a decimal; otherwise, errors will occur. For example, in the :SYSTem:BRIGhtness <value> command, <value> can be any integer from 1 to 8.

3. Real Number

Unless otherwise noted, the parameter can be any value within the effective value range. For example, <value> in the [:SOURce]:AM:FREQuency <value> command can be any real number from 10Hz to 100 kHz.

4. Discrete The parameter could only be one of the specified values or characters. For example, in the [:SOURce]:AM:WAVEform SINE|SQUA command, the parameter can only be SINE or SQUA.

5. ASCII String The parameter should be the combinations of ASCII characters. For example, in the :MMEMory:SAVe <file_name> command, <file_name> is the filename of the file to be saved and can include Chinese characters (a Chinese character occupies two bytes), English characters and numbers. The filename cannot exceed 28 bytes.

Command Abb r eviation

All the commands are case-insensitive and you can use any of them. If abbreviation is used, all the capital letters in the command must be written completely. For example, the :MMEMory:DISK:FORMat command can be abbreviated to :MMEM:DISK:FORM.

Explanation  AUTO: select "Auto" trigger mode. If the sweep mode is set to "Cont", the

instrument will start sweeping once a sweep manner is selected. If the sweep mode is set to "Single", you need to send the

[:SOURce]:SWEep:EXECute

command to meet the single sweep condition; after that, the instrument will start a sweep and then stops.

 KEY: select "Key" trigger mode. If the sweep mode is set to "Cont", the

instrument starts a sweep each time Key Trig is pressed; if the sweep mode is set to "Single", you need to se nd the

[:SOURce]:SWEep:EXECute command to

meet the single sweep condition and after that, the instrument starts a sweep and then stops each time Key Trig is pressed.

 BUS: select "Bus" trigger mode. If the sweep mode is set to "Cont", the

instrument starts a sweep each time the

:TRIGger[:SWEep][:IMMediate] command is sent; if the sweep mode i s set to

or "Single", you need to send the

*TRG

the single sweep condition and after that, the instrument starts a sweep and then stops each tim e the

*TRG or :TRIGger[:SWEep][:IMMediate] command is

sent.

 EXT: select "Ext" trigger mode. The RF signal generator receives the trigger

signal input from the [TRIGGER IN] connector at the rear panel. If th e sweep mode is set to "Cont", the instrument starts a sweep each time a TTL pulse signal with the specified polarity is received. If the sweep mode is set to "Single", you need to send the

[:SOURce]:SWEep:EXECute com mand to meet

the single sweep condition; after that, the instrument starts a sweep and then stops each time a TTL pulse signal with the specified polarity is received.
