VM Series Video Measurement System Programmer Manual

Remote Commands

You can control the VM Series System through the GPIB interface using commands and queries. The remote commands have the same functionalities as the menus and buttons in the user interface. You can see the effect of the commands on the interface as they are received.

NOTE. All oscilloscope platform GPIB commands are supported on the

VM6000 instrument. For documentation on these commands, please refer to the

DPO7000, DSA70000 and DPO70000 Programmer Online Guide. It is located on the DPO7000, DSA70000 and DPO70000 Product Software CD

020--2693--XX. For documentation on these commands for other supported oscilloscope platforms, refer to the Programmer Manual for your instrument.

This section covers the following information:

H Syntax, page 1--1

H Remote Startup and Exit of the Instrument, page 1--4

H Compatibility of VM Series System Option HD with the VM5000HD,

page 1--5

Syntax

The Option SD/HD section covers the following information:

H Option SD/HD Command Groups,page2--1

H Option SD/HD Commands,page2--17

The Option VGA section covers the following information:

H Option VGA Command Groups,page3--1

H Option VGA Commands,page3--36

Commands consist of set commands and query commands (usually called commands and queries). Commands modify the VM Series System settings or tell the instrument to perform a specific action. Queries cause the VM Series System to return data and information about its status.

Most commands have both a set and a query form, although some commands only have a query form.

Remote Commands

Command Structure

VM Series System instrument commands have the following structure:

:VARIable:VALue “<Command>”, “<Argument>”

H You can abbreviate VARIable:VALue to VARI:VAL if desired, and it is not

case sensitive.

H There are no abbreviated versions of the “<Command>”, “<Argument>” part

of the VM Series System commands; you must enter the full name of this part of a command.

H The <Command> field is case sensitive, and use of incorrect command case

spelling can result in an unexpected response from the instrument.

H All commands have a single <Argument>, which is case insensitive and

cannot be the empty string “”.

H Arguments are limited to a maximum of 60 characters. Arguments longer

than 60 characters should be avoided since they can cause unexpected behavior of the instrument and may require the application to be restarted.

H The comma character (,), the colon character (:), and the double quote

character (”) are special characters and should not be used in the argument, otherwise unexpected behavior can result. All other printable characters are permitted in the argument.

Query Structure

H Commands that accept numeric arguments accept either integer or floating

point values, with or without an exponent. This is equivalent to GPIB standard numeric format <NR1>.

H The VM Series System instrument does not support using a semicolon

character (;) to concatenate commands.

VM Series System instrument queries have the following structure:

:VARIable:VALue? “<Command>”

H You can abbreviate VARIable:VALue? to VARI:VAL? if desired, and it is not

case sensitive.

H There are no abbreviated versions of the “<Command>” part of the

VM Series System queries; you must enter the full name of a query.

H The <Command> field is case sensitive, and use of incorrect command case

spelling can result in in an unexpected response from the instrument.

H The VM Series System instrument does not support using a semicolon

character (;) to concatenate queries.

1- 2

H Query responses are always in upper case.

VM Series Video Measurement System Programmer Manual

Remote Commands

H The units and precision of result queries are identical to those in the user

interface and those produced by generating a report.

H In the current version (1.X) of the software, fractional numbers are not

rounded as they were in the previous software version. If you enter a fractional number for a line number instead of whole number, you will receive an error.

H When specifying a name for a file (ReportGenerate or SaveSettings), you

must include the file extension (.rtf, .pdf, .csv, or .vmset) or an error will occur.

H A 50 ms delay must occur between GPIB Set commands to ensure that the

GPIB control program does not overflow the internal command buffer of the instrument. See OpComplete for more information on page 2--188.

Remote Commands

Remote Startup and Exit of the Instrument

To start the application using remote commands, use the following command for Option SD/HD:

application:activate “VM HD and SD Video”

To start the application using remote commands, use the following command for Option VGA:

application:activate “VM VGA Video”

To exit the application using remote commands, use the following command:

VARIable:VALue “application”, “exit”

You can check whether or not the VM Series System application is running using the following query:

VARIable:VALue? “application”

If the application is running, this query will return “VM Series”. However, if the application is not currently running, it will return the empty string “”.
