The AQ6370B is equipped with GP-IB, RS-232C, and Ethernet (10/100BASE) interfaces
to be connected with an external PC for remote access and building an automated test system.
It is compatible with a standardized programming language
and supports AQ6317 commands for easy programming.
Macro Program is a useful built-in function for making a simple auto test program.

AQ6317 EMULATION MODE
|
|
|
The SCPI is an ASCII text based standard code and format that
conforms to IEEE-488.2. The standard remote commands of the
AQ6370B are compatible with SCPI. It can be used with most computer
test languages and test application software.

The AQ6317 series is Yokogawa's best-selling optical spectrum analyzer.
Since there are so many existing users all over the world, the
AQ6370B supports private remote programming codes and formats
of the AQ6317 series to make it easier for users to upgrade their
current test environment.
Note. some commands may not be compatible due to changes in specifications and functions.

MACRO PROGRAMMING

|
LabVIEW® DRIVER SUPPORT |
|
Macro programming enables user to easily create test procedures
by recording the user's actual key strokes and parameter selections.
One program can contain up to two hundred program lines, and
programs can be called as subroutines to make the main program
simple. Moreover, macro programs can control external equipment
through Ethernet, RS-232C and GP-IB port (GP-IB2). Therefore, an
external PC is not required to build a simple auto test system.
|
|
LabVIEW® is a popular test application software. Yokogawa can provide
users with LabVIEW drivers for the AQ6370B.
Note. LabVIEW is a U.S. registered trademark of
National Instruments.
