Operators Manual
Local Operation
Typical local operations include front-panel connections to the Device Under Test (DUT), and then
manual keystroke and touch-screen entries from the front panel that place the Product in the necessary
output mode.
Remote Operation (GPIB)
The Product rear-panel GPIB port is a fully-programmable parallel interface bus meeting the GPIB
(IEEE-488.1) standard and supplemental IEEE-488.2 standard. Under the remote control of an
instrument controller, the Product operates exclusively as a talker/listener. Use the IEEE-488
command set or run MET/CAL software (optional) to write your own programs. See the 5560A/5550A/
5540A Remote Programmers Manual at
for IEEE-488 operation.
Remote Operation (RS-232)
The rear panel RS-232 port is dedicated to serial data communications to operate and control the
Product during calibration procedures complying with the supplemental IEEE-488.2 standard.
The RS-232 serial data port connects a host terminal or personal computer (PC) to the Product. See
the 5560A/5550A/5540A Remote Programmers Manual at
RS-232 commands.
Remote Operation (USBTMC)
The Product rear-panel USB 2.0 type B port is a fully-programmable USBTMC interface that meets the
USBTMC-USB488 interface standard and supplemental IEEE-488.2 standard. Use the USBTMC
command set. See the 5560A/5550A/5540A Remote Programmers Manual at
discussion of the commands available for USBTMC operation.
Remote Operation (Ethernet)
The Product rear-panel Integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port is for network connection remote
control of the Calibrator and complies with supplemental IEEE-488.2 standard. The Ethernet port
connects a host PC to the Product. To send commands to the Product, enter commands from a telnet
session running on the host computer. See the 5560A/5550A/5540A Remote Programmers Manual at
www.flukecal.com
for a discussion of the Ethernet commands available for Ethernet operation.
