──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 1.3 Measurements and Working Systems 1.3.1 4-terminal Measurements Regular 2-terminal measurement measures even the value which includes the resistance of the measurement leads or the terminal area. Particularly, when measuring the low resistance, it is necessary to measure the value without this resistance value.
The temperature probe uses the platinum film resistor which is changeable according to the temperature, as the temperature sensor. This probe displays the resistance value of that register, detected by the 3227, after converting it to the temperature using the CPU.

Page 21
If the temperature probe is to be used in the measurement, make sure that the 3227 and the temperature probe are thoroughly warmed up before the measurement. The temperature probe and the device to be measured should be placed close together during the warm-up, so that both will be as close to the same temperature as possible during the measurement.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Chapter 8 GP-IB Interface 8.1 Specifications The conform standard: IEEE-488.1 1987 The reference standard: IEEE-488.2 1987 When the output queues become full, the 9588 generates the query error and NOTE clears them. Accordingly, this unit does not correspond to the clear of the output queue and the query error output under the dead lock states, stipulated in IEEE 488.2.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 8.2 Setting the GP-IB Address 1. Press the key and enter the shift states. "SHIFT" on the display SHIFT SHIFT lights. 2. Press the cursor key and enter the GP-IB address setting mode. GP-IB ADRS Flash the present GP-IB address setting. 3.
The query messages are the orders which query the operation results, such as the measurement results or the setting state of the unit. The 3227 returns to the original measurement mode automatically, when NOTE receives the program message in the each setting mode, such as the comparator setting mode.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 8.3.2 Command Syntax The command name of the 3227 uses the easy understanding words for the functions, and is able to shorten. The command name is called "longform" and the shortened one called "shortform". The response messages from the 3227 are returned with the capital long form.
Example :FUNCtion? :RESIstance:RANGe? 8.3.4 Message Terminators The 3227 accepts LF, EOI, and LF with EOI, as the message terminators. The "TRANsmit:TERMinator"command is also able to select followings as the response message terminator. (1) EOI + LF (2) CR, EOI + LF When the power supply is turning on, (1) is selected.
+1.0E-2, -2.3E+4 The term "NRf format" includes all these three formats above. When the 3227 is receiving it, accepts NRf format, but when it is sending response messages it utilizes whichever one of the formats NR1 to NR3 is indicated in the particular command.
・When the unit is reset by a key press (system reset). ・When the query error is generated. The 3227 has an output queue of 400 bytes capacity. If the response messages overflow this limit, a query error is generated, and the output queue is cleared.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 8.3.9 Input Buffer The 3227 has an input buffer of 300 bytes capacity. If the data accumulated in this buffer exceeds 300 bytes, and the buffer becomes full, the GP-IB interface bus goes into the waiting state until a space again becomes available in the buffer.
The status byte register is an 8-bit register whose contents are output from the 3227 to the controller, when the serial polling is being performed. If even only one bit in the status byte register has changed from 0 to 1 (provided that it is a bit which has been set in the service request enable register as a bit which can be used), then the MSS bit is set to 1.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 8.3.12 Event Register (1) Standard event status register (SESR) The standard event status register is an 8-bit register. If any bit in the standard event status register is set to 1 (after masking by the standard event status enable register), bit 5(ESB) of the status byte register is set to 1. Status byte register (STB) bit 6 bit 5...

──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Chapter 10 Maintenance and Service 10.1 Changing the Fuse 10.1.1 Power Fuse The power fuse and a spare fuse of this unit are in the power inlet. Change the power fuse followingly. To avoid electric shock, turn the power switch off, disconnect the power WARNING cord from the connector, and disconnect the input cable from the object to be measured before replacing the power fuse.
10.1.2 Circuit Protection Fuse To protect the measuring circuit from over current, the circuit protection fuse is mounted on the internal board of the 3227. If NG is displayed when the leads are shorted in the resistance measurement mode, the circuit protection fuse is ruptured. Change the circuit protection fuse as follows.
