Using The Rs-232C Port For Remote Control - Fluke 5700A Series II Operator's Manual

6. Press the "Remote Port Setup" softkey. The remote port setup menu appears:
PREV
MENU
7. Press the "Remote Port" softkey so that GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus)
appears. The GPIB port is the same as the IEEE-488 port.
8. Press the "Remote Lang" softkey until the correct mode appears. Select the mode
according to the following options.
•
Select NORMAL for all remote applications unless you are replacing a Fluke
Model 5100B or 5200A with the 5700A/5720A Series II in an existing remote
system.
•
If you are replacing a 5100B with the 5700A/5720A Series II, press the "Remote
Lang" softkey until "5100" appears below the key label. This selects 5100B
emulation mode which permits you to run 5100B commands on the
5700A/5720A Series II.
•
If you are replacing a 5200A with the 5700A/5720A Series II, press the "Remote
Lang" softkey until "5200" appears. This selects 5200A emulation mode, which
permits you to run 5200A commands on the 5700A/5720A Series II.
When in either 5100B or 5200A emulation mode, the 5700A/5720A Series II
responds the commands specified for the instrument it is emulating; it does not
respond to the commands described in this chapter. For more information about
emulation mode, refer to "5100B Emulation Mode" or "5200A Emulation Mode" in
this chapter.
9. If you wish to change the bus address from its factory default of 4, press the "GPIB
Port Setup" softkey. The GPIB port setup menu appears:
PREV
MENU
10. Change the address by pressing the "down" or "up" softkeys. Addresses are allowed
in the range of 0 to 30. The address you select is saved in nonvolatile memory, and
the IEEE-488 interface is changed to conform to the selection.

5-5. Using the RS-232C Port for Remote Control

Skip these instructions if you are using an IEEE-488 controller such as the Fluke 1722A.
This procedure is intended for those who are using the calibrator's serial interface for
remote control from a terminal or computer with a serial interface.
