Introduction

This programmer manual provides information on how to use commands for remotely controlling the High Speed Serial plug-in application.

The High Speed Serial 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 programmatic interface of these products. 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, refer to t

Manual or the AWG5200 series Arbitrary Waveform Generators Programmer Manual.
