Agilent 6000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer’s Quick Start Guide 3
Programming the Oscilloscope—At a Glance
You can automate 6000 Series oscilloscope setup and data capture by running
programs on a controller PC. Just install the Agilent IO Libraries Suite
software, connect the oscilloscope (using USB, LAN, or GPIB interfaces), and
begin writing programs.
The Agilent IO Libraries Suite provides SICL, VISA, and VISA COM libraries
for programming instruments. You can use these libraries from C/C++ or
Visual Basic programs. Examples in different programming languages are
provided.
You can perform the following basic operations when programming the
oscilloscope:
• Set up the instrument.
• Make measurements.
• Acquire data (waveform, measurements, etc.) from the oscilloscope.
• Save/restore information (such as pixel images, configurations, etc.)
from/to the oscilloscope.
Other tasks are accomplished by combining these basic functions.
