Check whether your local network supports the DHCP or auto IP mode. If not, you need to DG1000Z Programming Guide RIGOL Chapter 1 Programming Overview 3) 3. acquire the network interface parameters available, such as the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS service. Connect DG1000Z to the local network using a network cable. Press Utility I/O Config LAN to configure the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS service. Use the GPIB interface: Extend a GPIB interface by connecting the USB Host interface at the front panel of DG1000Z using the USB-GPIB interface converter. Connect the instrument and PC using a GPIB cable. Press Utility I/O Config GPIB to set the GPIB address of the instrument. Check whether the connection is successful Start up the Ultra Sigma and the software will automatically search for the instrument resources currently connected to the PC. Right click the resource name and select “SCPI Panel Control”. Input a correct command in the pop-up SCPI control panel and click and subsequentially or directly click to check whether the connection is successful, as shown in the figure below (the USB interface is taken as an example). DG1000Z Programming Guide 1-3 RIGOL Chapter 1 Programming Overview Remote Control Methods 1. User-defined Programming Users can use the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) commands listed in chapter 2 “Command System” of this manual to program and control the instrument in various development environments (such as Visual C++, Visual Basic, LabVIEW and so on). For details, refer to the introductions in chapter 4 “Programming Demos”. 2. Send SCPI Commands via the PC Software You can control the signal generator remotely by sending the SCPI commands via the PC software (Ultra Sigma) provided by RIGOL. Besides, you can also control the instrument using the “Measurement & Automation Explorer” of NI (National Instruments Corporation) or the “Agilent IO Libraries Suite” of Agilent (Agilent Technologies, Inc.). SCPI Command Overview SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) is a standardized instrument programming language that is built upon the standard IEEE488.1 and IEEE 488.2 and conforms to various standards (such as the floating point operation rule in IEEE754 standard, ISO646 7-bit coded character for information interchange (equivalent to ASCll programming)). This section introduces the syntax, symbols, parameters and abbreviation rules of the SCPI commands. Syntax The SCPI commands provide a hierarchical tree structure and include multiple subsystems. Each command subsystem consists of a root keyword and one or more sub-keywords.The command string usually starts with ":"; the keywords are separated by ":" and are followed by the parameter settings available; "?" is added at the end of the command string to indicate query; the command and parameter are separated by space. For example, :SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:IPADdress:SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:IPADdress? SYSTem is the root keyword of the command. COMMunicate, LAN and IPADdress are the second-level, third-level and forth-level keywords respectively. The command string starts with ":" which is also used to separate the multiple-level keywords. represents the parameters available for setting. "?" represents query; the instrument returns the corresponding information (the input value or internal setting value of the instrument) when recieving the query command. The command :SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:IPADdress and parameter are separated by space. "," is generally used for separating multiple parameters contained in the same command, for example, :DISPlay:TEXT[:SET] [,x[,y]] 1-4 DG1000Z Programming Guide Chapter 1 Programming Overview RIGOL Symbol Description The following symbols are not the content of the SCPI commands and will not be sent with the commands. They are usually used to describe the parameters in the commands. 1. Braces {} Multiple optional parameters are enclosed in the braces and one of the parameters must be selected when sending the command. For example, :DISPlay:MODE {DPV|DGV|SV}. 2. Vertical Bar | The vertical bar is used to separate multiple parameters and one of the parameters must be selected when sending the command. For example, :DISPlay:MODE {DPV|DGV|SV}. 3. Square Brackets [] The content (command keyword or parameter) in the square brackets can be omitted. If the parameter is omitted, the instrument will set the parameter to its default. For example, for the :COUNter:STATIstics[:STATe]? command, send any of the following two commands can achieve the same effect. :COUNter:STATIstics? :COUNter:STATIstics:STATe? 4. Triangle Brackets <> The parameter enclosed in the triangle brackets must be replaced by an effective value. For example, sending the :COUNter:LEVEl command in :COUNter:LEVEl 1 form. Parameter Type The parameters of the commands introduced in this manual contain the following 5 types: bool, integer, real number, discrete and ASCII string. 1 Bool The parameter could be ON (1) or OFF (0). For example, :COUNter:HF {ON|1|OFF|0}. 2 Integer Unless otherwise noted, the parameter can be any integer within the effective value range. Note that do not set the parameter to a decimal; otherwise, errors will occur. For example, in the :DISPlay:BRIGhtness command, can be any integer from 0 to 100. 3 Real Number Unless otherwise noted, the parameter can be any real number within the effective value range. For example, the range of in the :COUNter:LEVEl command is from -2.5V to 2.5V. 4 Discrete The parameter could only be one of the specified values or characters. For example, in the :DISPlay:MODE {DPV|DGV|SV} command, the parameter can only be DPV, DGV or SV. 5 ASCII String The parameter should be the combinations of ASCII characters. For example, in the :MMEMory:LOAD:STATe command, is the filename of the state file to be loaded under the current directory of the external memory and can include English characters and numbers. Besides, you can replace the parameters in many commands with MINimum or MAXimum to set the parameters to their minimum or maximum value. For example, MINimum and MAXimum in the :DISPlay:BRIGhtness { |MINimum|MAXimum} command are used to set the brightness to the minimum or maximum. DG1000Z Programming Guide 1-5 RIGOL Chapter 1 Programming Overview Command Abbreviation All the commands are case-insensitive and you can use any of them. If abbreviation is used, all the capital letters in the command must be written completely. For example, the :COUNter:COUPling? command can be abbreviated to :COUN:COUP?. 1-6 DG1000Z Programming Guide RIGOL Chapter 2 Command System Chapter 2 Command System This chapter introduces the syntax, function, parameter and using instruction of each DG1000Z command in A-Z order. Main topics of this chapter: :COUNter Commands :COUPling Commands :DISPlay Commands :HCOPy Commands IEEE488.2 Common Commands :LICense Command :LXI Commands :MEMory Commands :MMEMory Commands :OUTPut Commands :PA Commands :ROSCillator Commands :SOURce Commands :SYSTem Commands :TRIGger Commands Explanation: In this command system, setting commands relating to the frequency and amplitude parameters can be sent with units. The units available and the default unit of each parameter are as shown in the table below. Parameter Type Units Available Default Unit Frequency MHz/kHz/Hz/uHz Hz Sample Rate MSa/s、kSa/s、Sa/s、uSa/s Sa/s Amplitude Vpp/mVpp/Vrms/mVrms/dBm Vpp/Vrms/dBm (depend on the parameter to be set) Offset VDC/mVDC VDC High Level/Low Level V/mV V Time s/ms/us/ns s Phase ° ° Duty Cycle/ Modulation Depth/ Brightness/ Contrast % % Impedance Ω Ω DG1000Z Programming Guide 2-1 RIGOL Chapter 2 Command System Note: In this manual, the range of the parameter in the command is based on DG1062Z. As all the commands are case-insensitive, for DG1000Z, MHZ (mhz) and MSA/S (msa/s) are interpreted as megahertz and mega points per second respectively; while MVPP (mvpp), MVRMS (mvrms), MVDC (mvdc), MV (mv) and MS (ms) are interpreted as millivolt (peak-peak value), millivolt (effective value), millivolt (DC), millivolt and millisecond respectively. When the output impedance is HighZ, the amplitude unit dBm is invalid. 2-2 DG1000Z Programming Guide RIGOL Chapter 2 Command System :COUNter Commands The :COUNter commands are used to turn on or off the frequency counter and set the related information of the frequency counter.

The return value contains 7 effective digits, for example, 3.000000E+01 (the trigger sensitivity of the frequency counter is 30%). :COUN:SENS 30 /*Set the trigger sensitivity of the frequency counter to 30%*/ :COUN:SENS? /*Query the trigger sensitivity of the frequency counter and the query returns 3.000000E+01*/ DG1000Z Programming Guide RIGOL Chapter 2 Command System :COUNter[:STATe] Syntax :COUNter[:STATe] {ON|1|OFF|0|RUN|STOP|SINGLE} :COUNter[:STATe]? Description Set the status of the frequency counter. Query the status of the frequency counter. Parameter Name {ON|1|OFF|0|RUN|STOP| SINGLE} Explanation Return Format Example Type Discrete Range ON|1|OFF|0|RUN|STOP| SINGLE Default OFF “ON” and “1” denote enabling the frequency counter function; “OFF” and “0” denote disabling the frequency counter function; “RUN”, “STOP” and “SINGLE” denote setting the running status of the frequency counter to “run”, “stop” and “single” respectively. The command for setting the running status (the parameter is RUN, STOP or SINGLE) is only valid when the frequency counter function is enabled. When the frequency counter function is enabled, the sync output of CH2 will be disabled. In the “RUN” status, the frequency counter measures the input signal continuously according to the current configuration. In the “SINGLE” status, the frequency counter executes a measurement and then stops. In the “STOP” status, the frequency counter stops measuring. When the frequency counter is enabled, the default running status is “run” and the instrument measures the input signal continuously according to the current configuration. At this point, if you send the :COUNter:STATe SINGLE command, the frequency counter enters the “single” status, finishes the current measurement and then stops; if you send the :COUNter:STATe STOP command, the frequency counter enters the “STOP” state immediately. When the frequency counter is in the “STOP” status, the frequency counter performs a measurement and then enters the “STOP” status each time you send the :COUNter:STATe SINGLE command. When the frequency counter function is enabled, the query returns the current running status (RUN, STOP or SINGLE); when the frequency counter function is disabled, the query returns OFF. :COUN OFF /*Disable the frequency counter function*/ :COUN? /*Query the status of the frequency counter and the query returns OFF*/ :COUN 1 /*Enable the frequency counter function*/ :COUN? /*Query the status of the frequency counter and the query returns RUN (the default running status)*/ :COUN STOP /*Set the running status of the frequency counter to “STOP”*/ :COUN? /*Query the status of the frequency counter and the query returns STOP*/ DG1000Z Programming Guide 2-7 RIGOL Chapter 2 Command System :COUNter:STATIstics:CLEAr Syntax :COUNter:STATIstics:CLEAr Description Clear the statistic results. Explanation This command is only valid when the statistic function of the frequency counter is enabled (:COUNter:STATIstics[:STATe]). The statistic results are cleared automatically when the statistic function of the frequency counter is disabled.

Once a bit is set, the later occurred events corresponding to that bit will be ignored until the register is cleared by the query command or the *CLS command (used to clear the status). Return Format The query returns a decimal value corresponding to the sum of the binary weights of all the bits in the event register of the standard event register. Related Command *CLS *IDN? Syntax Description Return Format 2-30 *IDN? Query the ID string of the instrument. The query returns the ID string of the instrument. The return value consists of 4 parts separated by commas, for example, Rigol Technologies,DG1062Z,DG1ZA000000001,00.01.03; wherein, the first part is the manufacturer name, the second part is the instrument model, the third part is the instrument serial number and the forth part is the digital board version number. DG1000Z Programming Guide RIGOL Chapter 2 Command System *OPC Syntax *OPC *OPC? Description Set the OPC (operation complete) bit in the standard event register after all the previous commands that have been sent are executed. Query whether all the previous commands that have been sent are executed. If yes, return 1 to the output buffer. Explanation Return Format Example Here, “operation complete” refers to that all the previous commands that have been sent, including the *OPC command, are executed. You can also use the *OPC (operation complete) or *OPC? (operation complete query) command to set the system to output signal when finishing the sweep or burst. The *OPC commands sets the OPC (operation complete) bit in the standard event register after all the previous commands that have been sent are executed; when the bus is used to trigger the sweep or burst, the system can execute other commands before this bit is set. The *OPC? command returns 1 to the output buffer after all the previous commands that have been sent are executed and the system cannot execute any other command before this command is completed. Sending the *OPC? command (query command) and reading the result can ensure synchronization. When setting the instrument by programming (by executing command strings), taking the *OPC command as the last command of the command queue can determine when the command queue is completed (the OPC (operation complete) bit in the standard event register is set after the command queue is completed). The query returns 1 or 0. *OPC /*Configure the instrument to set the OPC (operation complete) bit in the standard event register after all the previous commands that have been sent are executed*/ *OPC? /*Query whether all the previous commands that have been sent are executed. If yes, return 1 to the output buffer*/ *OPT? Syntax Description Return Format *OPT? Query whether the 16M internal memory option (Arb 16M) has been installed. The query returns OFFICAL (the 16M internal memory option has been installed) or UNINSTALL (the 16M internal memory option is not installed).

Sending this command can recall the state file or arbitrary waveform file stored in the specified storage location in the internal non-volatile memory. Select number 1 to 10 to recall the state file or arbitrary waveform file stored in the corresponding storage location respectively. This command is only valid when an effective state file or arbitrary waveform file is stored in the specified storage location in the internal non-volatile memory. The state file stored includes the waveforms, frequencies, amplitudes, offsets, duty cycles, symmetries, phases, the modulation, sweep, burst parameters, the frequency counter parameters of the two channels as well as the utility parameters and system parameters under the Utility menu. The arbitrary waveform file stores the voltage corresponding to each waveform point in binary data form. In the sample rate editing mode, there are only Sa points if the number of points is set to Sa and the voltage of each point is the voltage set by users. In the period editing mode, if the number of points is set to Sa, the voltages of the first Sa points is the voltages set by users and the voltages of the (Sa+1)th point to 8192nd point are low level. The voltage of each point occupies 2 bytes (namely 16 bits); wherein, the 14 low-order bits denote the voltage and the 2 high-order bits are not used. Therefore, the format of the binary data is 0x0000 to 0x3FFF; wherein, 0x0000 corresponds to the low level of the arbitrary waveform and 0x3FFF corresponds to the high level of the arbitrary waveform.
