# Infiniium 2026 Programmer's Guide

For real-time oscilloscope products

This programmer's guide online help describes the SCPI commands that can be used to control the Infiniium 2026 application, whether it is running on an Infiniium oscilloscope or offline on a PC.

Infiniium 2026's programming syntax conforms to the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation and to the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI). For more detailed information regarding the IEEE 488.2 standard or the SCPI standard, refer to the following books:

- International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE Standard 488.1-1987, IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation. New York, NY, 1987.
- International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE Standard 488.2-1987, IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols and Common commands For Use with ANSI/IEEE Std 488.1-1987. New York, NY, 1987.

When Infiniium 2026 is being remotely controlled, the application displays "Under Local Control" as shown in the following picture. To return the application from being remotely controlled to front-panel control, either click the displayed Local, shown in this picture, or send the `:SYSTem:GTLocal` command. After this is done, sending any SCPI command returns Infiniium 2026 to remote mode.

## Notes on Oscilloscope Common Commands

Visa Interface. You will almost always be controlling an oscilloscope that is in Standard configuration which is its normal configuration. In this case, send the Infiniium commands to the oscilloscope's Infiniium application using the HiSLIP, Sockets, or VXI-11 Visa interface.
