This guide 5 and System Functions focuses on how to program the instrument over the GPIB and the RS-232C interfaces. 6 Status Reporting Instruments covered by the 1660-Series Programmer's Guide 7 Error Message The 1660-series logic analyzers are available with or without oscilloscope measurement capabilities. The 8 Common Commands 1660A-series logic analyzers contain only a logic analyzer. The 1660AS-series logic analyzers contain both a logic analyzer 9 Mainframe Commands and a digitizing oscilloscope. What is in the 1660-Series 10 SYSTem Subsystem Programmer's Guide? The 1660-Series Programmer's Guide is organized in five parts. 11 MMEMory Subsystem Part 1 Part 1 consists of chapters 1 through 7 and contains general 12 INTermodule Subsystem information about programming basics, GPIB and RS-232C interface requirements, documentation 13 MACHine Subsystem conventions, status reporting , and error messages. 14 WLISt Subsystem iii 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 defi
