If you are already familiar with IEEE 488.2 programming and GPIB or
RS-232C, you may want to just scan these chapters. If you are new to
programmiung the system, you should read part 1.
Chapter 1 is divided into two sections. The first section, "Talking to the
Instrument," concentrates on program syntax, and the second section,
"Receiving Information from the Instrument," discusses how to send queries
and how to retrieve query results from the instrument.
Read either chapter 2, "Programming Over GPIB," or chapter 3,
"Programming Over RS-232C" for information concerning the physical
connection between the 1660-series logic analyzer and your controller.
Chapter 4, "Programming and Documentation Conventions," gives an
overview of all instructions and also explains the notation conventions used
in the syntax definitions and examples.
Chapter 5, "Message Communication and System Functions," provides an
overview of the operation of instruments that operate in compliance with the
IEEE 488.2 standard.
Chapter 6 explains status reporting and how it can be used to monitor the
flow of your programs and measurement process.
Chapter 7 contains error message descriptions.
Part 2 Part 2, chapters 8 through 12, explain each command in the
command set for the mainframe. These chapters are organized in
subsystems with each subsystem representing a front-panel menu.
The commands explained in this part give you access to common commands,
mainframe commands, system level commands, disk commands, and
intermodule measurement commands. This part is designed to provide a
concise description of each command.
Part 3 Part 3, chapters 13 through 25 explain each command in the
subsystem command set for the logic analyzer. Chapter 26 contains
information on the SYSTem:DATA and SYSTem:SETup commands for
the logic analyzer.
The commands explained in this part give you access to all the commands
used to operate the logic analyzer portion of the 1660-series system. This
part is designed to provide a concise description of each command.
Part 4 Part 4, chapters 27 through 35 explain each command in the
subsystem command set for the oscilloscope.
