Introduction
This programmer manual provides information on how to use commands for
remotely controlling the Radar Signals plug-in application.
The Radar 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 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,
