Command Syntax

:RSOurce:CONNect

Description

Establishes a connection between FlexPLL and FlexPLL's source instrument. After setting up the connection options, use the :RSOurce:CONNect:METHod command to specify LAN, USB, or GPIB and the :RSOurce:CONNect command to make the connection. Use the :RSOurce:DISConnect command to break FlexPLL's connection to the source instrument.

Use of an *OPC? query to pause program execution while waiting for this command to execute.
