Using this Chapter
This chapter shows you how to use the Agilent E1300B and Agilent E1301B
Mainframes’ Display Terminal Interface (terminal interface) to operate
instruments in the mainframe. The terminal interface uses the built-in RS-232
and/or the optional Agilent E1324A Datacomm Module to provide all of the
features of the Agilent E1301B’s front panel, plus comfortable keyboard
position and full screen display. It contains the following sections:
