Abstract

Measurement instruments capable communicate with remote controller are mainly used in today measurement systems. In our case software has been written that turned the microprocessor based measuring board into SCPI measuring device (SCPI- Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). We wrote a SCPI interpreter that enables compatibility with SCPI 1999 standard. First the software has been written that enables microprocessor module to communicate via IEEE 488 bus. Then some routines have been added that enable format compatibility between microprocessor and control software at the remote computer. The developed software is universal platform for supporting the open architecture technology of virtual instruments.
