Interactive IO

The Interactive IO feature of Agilent Connection Expert allows you to
interact with the instruments by sending commands and seeing the
instruments’ responses. Interactive IO can help you:

troubleshoot communication problems

learn the instrument's command set

prototype commands and check the instrument's responses before

writing code

With Interactive IO, you can choose from a menu of common commands
(*IDN?, *RST, *TST?), or execute commands from the instrument’s
command set (see Chapters 4- 10 for the commands available with each
instrument).

Figure 2- 11 shows how Interactive IO is started from Agilent Connection
Expert.

For more information on Interactive IO, refer to the Agilent IO Libraries
Suite Getting Started Guide. The guide is available on-line by clicking
