XS series operating manualXS user manual v0.55 - 109 -IEEE-488 interfaceIMPORTANTThe IEEE-488 function must be selected in the SETUP menu page 2 on the lineINTERFACE : IEEE = 05The test units of the XS series could be equipped with a IEEE-488 interface. This option makespossible the integration of any unit of the series in an automatic measurement or test system inmanufacturing or incoming inspection department.This interface is accessible through a connector provided on the rear panel.Syntax rulesThe end of a message must be the LF character (hexadecimal 0A, decimal 10).The separators inside a message are ; or :The commands can be sent either in small letters or in capital letters.The maximum number of commands by message is 15.NOTE :be careful not to put together standardised commands with other ones.When a event like transmission error,end of test, safety loop open, ...,occurs during the measurement, the controller could be informed by a SRQ.To activate this function, you must send a SRQ command just after the initialization of the unit.On event, you could read the internal registers of the IEEE controler ( STB,SRE,...) to get moreprecise reasons why.If the message is not recognized by the unit, the error message If the code is out of context, the error message (special code for a function when the function was not selected or numerical value out of range)IEEE-488-1 Fonctions availablesSH1,AH1,T6,L4,SR1,RL1,PP0,DC1,DT0,C0List of the IEEE-488 commandsThe syntax of the commands complies with the IEEE488-2 standard (1992 revision).IEEE488-2 numerical formats :Format NR1 : ±...Format NR2 : +/-.......Format NR3 : ±.......E+/-..Note : Codes in brackets are expensed codes which can be understood by the unit
