6.10 GPIB Command Interchange Function
6.10.1 Outline
The MG3641A/MG3642A provides a GPIB command interchange mode so that it can be operated with the auto-
matic measurement software written for Anritsu's MG3631A/32A or MG3633A.
When using the GPIB command interchange function, set the following items before hand:
(1) Press the "GPIB" [F2] key on the Main Menu (2) to open
the "GPIB" menu.
(2) Press the "↓" [F2] key or "↑" [F3] key to select
"Command" (the status display is high lighted).
(3) Use the "Sel" [F1] key to select the device to be
interchanged.
• Usual mode: SCPI
• MG3633A interchange: MG3633A
• MG3631A/32A interchange: MG3631A/32A
Not all MG3641A/MG3642A functions can be controlled in command interchange mode. To program the new
automatic measurement software, use the normal "SCPI" command.
Even if command interchange mode is used, complete interchangeability cannot be obtained because the hardware
configuration is different from that of the interchange object device. Paragraphs 6.10.2 and 6.10.3 describe the
restrictions in command interchange mode. The contents of these paragraphs must be understood before using
command interchange mode.
