EB200 Manual
4 Remote control
4.1 Introduction
The device is equipped as standard with an RS232 interface. The 9-pin connector X9 is located at the
rear of the device. The TCP/IP protocol with PPP is applied to this interface. From firmware version
2.31 onwards, this interface can also be configured for the RS232 standard (see menu
SETUP:REMOTE and Appendix A).
The device can be equipped optionally with a LAN interface EB200 R4. The 8-pin RJ45 connector X91
is located at the rear of the device. The TCP/IP protocol is run on this 10 MBIT Ethernet interface.
The device supports the SCPI command syntax of version 1993.0 (Standard Commands for
Programmable Devices). The SCPI standard is based on IEEE 488.2 and is aimed at standardizing
device-specific commands, error handling and status registers (see "Notation" on page 13).
This section assumes basic knowledge of programming and operation of the controller. A description of
the interface commands is to be obtained from the relevant manuals.
The requirements of the SCPI standard for command syntax, error handling and configuration of the
status registers are explained in the relevant sections. Tables provide a fast overview of the commands
implemented in the device and the bit assignment in the status registers. The tables are supplemented
by a comprehensive description of every command and the status registers. Detailed programming
examples of the main functions are to be found in Annex D. Annex C contains a reference list for all unit
functions in manual and remote control with all the relevant references to the manual.
4.2 Brief instructions
4.2.1 Remote control via RS232 interface
The default values of the interface parameters of the EB200 are configured by host name and IP-
address, respectively.
192.0.0.2 and port: 5555
For more information see annex A, interfaces.
1. Connect the EB200 and the controller by using the modem bypass cable RS232 stipulated for
WindowsNT.
2. The RAS service has to be installed on the controller.
3. The PPP-connection to the controller is set up by starting the EB200.PBK file.
4. The ping command is a simple way to check whether the controller is able to make connection to the
EB200. Just enter the command "ping <IP-Address>" (eg "ping 192.0.0.2") in the DOS box.
5. Commands can be sent to and messages can be received from the EB200 by means of a Telnet
application which is started and configured with the interface parameters of EB200.
6. To test the connection, *idn? can be entered, for example, to query the EB200 identification. The
response string should then be displayed.
