REMOTE
OPERATION
(IEEE-488
INTERFACE)
The
following paragraphs
describe
how
to
operate
the
Generator
using the
IEEE-488
Interface
(referred to as
remote
operation).
The
interface
allows the operator
to
program
the
Generator
and
operate instrument functions
via the
IEEE-488
bus
(with the
exception of
the front
panel
POWER
switch
and
the rear
panel
REF
INT/EXT
switch).
The IEEE-488
Interface also
provides additional
programming
features
not
accessible
from
the front panel.
The
rest
of
this
section
is
divided into
two
parts:
the
first
part describes
how
to
set
up
the
Generator
for
operation
on
the
IEEE-488
bus
and
gives
some
ty pical
programming
examples.
The
first
part also includes a
complete
list
of
the
programming
commands
recognized
by
the
Generator
software.
The
second
part describes the
implementation
of the
IEEE-488
Interface
and
programming
features that are accessible only
from
the
IEEE-488
Interface.
The
second
part
also
includes
typical
timing
data,
provided
as
an
aid to
system programmers.
This
information can
assist
in
writing
programs
that
have
greater
speed
and
efficiency.
The
Generator can
be used
with
any IEEE-488
controller
in
the
normal
addressed
mode.
The
following
two
additional
modes
are
available for
operation without a
controller:
Listen-only
mode
Talk-only
mode
In the listen-only
mode,
the
Generator responds
to
all
data messages
on
the
IEEE-488
bus. In
the talk-only
mode,
the
Generator sends
commands
on
the
IEEE-488
bus
to
program
another
606xA
Generator
(or
a
607xA
with
some
restrictions).

Setting
Up
the
IEEE-488
Interface
Figure
2-5
shows
a
6062A
Signal
Generator connected
to
a
1722A
via the
IEEE-488
bus.
Use
the
following procedure
to
set
up
the
Generator
with
the
IEEE-488
Interface:
1
.
Connect
a
standard
IEEE-488
cable
between
the
Generator
and
the
IEEE-488
device.
NOTE
The IEEE-488
Interface signal
SHIELD
(pin 12)
can be disconnected
(when
using
an IEEE-488
cable
without a
metallic
hood)
from
instrument
ground. To
do
this,
use the
left
most
address switch
(as
viewed
from
the
rear panel).
