Configuring communications

For both front panel and remote operation, the RS-232 of the Model 2182/2182A
must be enabled (on), and the selected communications interface for the Model
622x must be the GPIB or the Ethernet (Model 6221 only).
Model 2182/2182A communications
Configure the Model 2182/2182A for RS-232 communications as follows:
On the Model 2182/2182A, press the SHIFT key and then the RS-232 key to

Details on setting communications are provided in the User's Manual for the
Model 2182/2182A (in Section 11, see "Interface selection and configuration pro-
cedures").
Model 622x communications
For Delta, Pulse Delta, and Differential Conductance, the Model 622x uses two
interfaces for communications. It uses the RS-232 to communicate with the Model
2182/2182A, and it uses the GPIB or Ethernet (Model 6221 only) to communicate
with the PC. For details on communications configuration for the Model 622x, see
Section 10 of the Reference Manual.
Configure the Model 622x for communications as follows:
1.

Select ON for the RS-232 interface.
Select the 19.2K baud rate.
Select the NONE setting for flow control.
RS-232 – On the Model 622x, press the COMM key and then select
RS-232 from the communications setup menu:
a.
Set the BAUD rate to 19.2K.
b.
Set FLOW CTRL (flow control) to NONE.

Press the ENTER key.
The Model 622x will reboot if RS-232 was not the previously selected
communications interface.
GPIB or Ethernet – The GPIB or the Ethernet (Model 6221 only) must be
the selected interface to allow communications with the PC.
On the Model 622x, press the COMM key and then select GPIB or
ETHERNET (6221 only) from the communications setup menu:
GPIB – Set the IEEE-488 address (0 to 30).
Ethernet (6221) – Set the IP, Gateway, Subnet, and DHCP.
After configuring the GPIB or Ethernet, press ENTER. The configured
communications interface will be selected and the Model 622x will reboot.
