Getting Started

Introduction

This programmer guide provides information to use commands for remotely controlling your instrument. With this information, write computer programs that will perform functions such as setting the front-panel controls, selecting clock source, setting sampling rate, and exporting data for use in other programs.

Connecting the Interface

The AFG1000 Series has a USB (type B) connector on the rear panel, as shown in the following figure. This connector conforms to USB-TMC. Attach a USB cable to this connector.

Figure 1: USB (type B) connector

Using TekVISA

TekVISA is Tektronix implementation of VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture), an industry-standard communication protocol. VISA provides

a common standard for software developers so that software from multiple vendors, such as instrument drivers, can run on the same platform. TekVISA is industry-compliant software, available with selected Tektronix instruments. Use this software to write (or draw) interoperable instrument drivers in a variety of Application Development Environments (ADEs). It implements a subset of Version 2.2 of the VISA specification for controlling USB instrument interface locally.

Syntax and Commands

Command Syntax

Control the operations and functions of the instrument through the USB interface using commands and queries. The related topics listed below the syntax of these commands and queries. The topics also describe the conventions that the instrument uses to process them. See Command Groups (See page 10.) for a listing of the commands by command group, or use the index to locate a specific command.

Backus-Naur Form Definition

This manual describes commands and queries using the Backus-Naur Form (BNF) notation. The following table defines the standard BNF symbols.

Command and Query Structure

Overview

Commands consist of set commands and query commands (usually simply called

commands and queries). Commands change instrument settings or perform a specific action. Queries cause the instrument to return data and information about its status.

Most commands have both a set form and a query form. The query form of the command is the same as the set For example, the set command

MMEMory:CDIRectory?. Not all commands have both a set and a query form;

some commands are set only and some are query only.

Meaning

form except that it ends with a question mark.

MMEMory:CDIRectory has a query form

Messages

A command message is a command or query name, followed by any information the instrument needs to execute the command or query. Command

messages consist of five element types.

all commands have an argument, while other commands have multiple

arguments. Arguments are separated from the header by a <Space>. Arguments are separated from each other by a <Comma>.

<Comma> A single comma between arguments of multiple-argument commands. It

may optionally have white space characters before and after the comma.

<Space> A white space character between command header and argument. It may

optionally consist of multiple white space characters.

colon

Commands

Commands cause the instrument to perform a specific function or change one of its settings. Commands have the structure:

[:]<Header>[<Space><Argument>[<Comma><Argument>]...]

A command header is made up of one or more mnemonics arranged in a hierarchical or tree structure. The first mnemonic is the base or root of the tree and each subsequent mnemonic is a level or branch of the previous one. Commands at a higher level in the tree may affect those at a lower level. The leading colon (:) always returns you to the base of the command tree.

Queries

Query Responses

Queries cause the instrument to return information about its status or settings. Queries have the structure:

[:]<Header>?

[:]<Header>?[<Space><Argument>[<Comma><Argument>]...]

Specify a query 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.

When a query is sent to the instrument, only the values are returned. When the returned value is a mnemonic, it is noted in abbreviated format.

Command Syntax

Command Entry

Follow these general rules when entering commands:

Enter commands in upper or lower case.

Precede any command with white space characters. White space include any combination of the ASCII control characters 00 through 0B through 20 hexadecimal (0 through 9 and 11 through 32 decimal).

The instrument ignores commands that consists of just a combination of white space characters and line feeds.

SCPI Commands and Queries

The instrument uses a command language based on the SCPI standard. The SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) standard was created by a consortium to provide guidelines for remote programming of instruments. These guidelines provide a consistent programming environment for instrument control and data transfer. This environment uses defined programming messages, instrument responses and data formats that operate across all SCPI instruments, regardless of manufacturer.

The SCPI language is based on a hierarchical or tree structure. The top level of the tree is the root

Special Characters

The Line Feed (LF) character or the New Line (NL) character (ASCII 10), and all characters in the range of ASCII 127-255 are defined as special characters. These

characters are used in arbitrary block arguments only; using these characters in other parts of any command yields unpredictable results.

Abbreviating Commands,

Queries, and Parameters

Chaining Commands and

Queries

Abbreviate most SCPI commands, queries, and parameters to an accepted short form. This manual shows these short forms as a combination of upper and case letters. The upper case letters indicate the accepted short form of a command. As shown in the following figure, create a short form by using only the upper case letters. The accepted short form and the long form are

and request the same action of the instrument.

Figure 2: Example of abbreviating a command

NOTE: The numeric suffix of a command or query may be included in either the

long form or short form; the instrument will default to "1" if no suffix is used.

Chain several commands or queries together into a single message. To create a chained message, first create a command or query, add a semicolon (;), and then add more commands or queries and semicolons until the message is complete. If the command following a semicolon is a root node, precede it with a colon (:).The single chained message should end in a semicolon. Responses to any queries in your message semicolons.

If a command or query has the same root and lower-level nodes as the previous command or query, you can omit these nodes.
