This programmer manual provides information on how to use commands for
remotely controlling the Environment Signals plug-in application.
The Environment Signals plug-in can be installed in the SourceXpress software
application, AWG70000 series instruments, and AWG5200 series instruments.
Communication with the plug-in is through the SourceXpress programmatic
interface or the AWG70000 series instrument’s programmatic interface. Using
a single VISA or raw socket session, it is possible to communicate with
SourceXpress, AWG70000 series instruments, and AWG5200 series instruments.
For information on the Remote Control, GPIB Parameters, LAN Parameters,
Connecting to the Instrument using GPIB, and Setting up GPIB Communication,
