  • Page 9: Chapter 2 Details On Interface Rs-232C

    Various messages are supported in order to control the 3169-20/21 through the interface. Messages are divided into program messages, which are sent to the 3169-20/21 from the PC, and response messages, which are sent to the PC from the 3169-20/21. Program messages...

  • Page 10: Message Format

    An answer message is a character string created after one line of data (up to the terminator) from a PC has been analyzed and processed. This string is returned to the PC. Using this data, the 3169-20/21 is synchronized with the PC.

    Communication Methods Command Syntax The names of commands for the 3169-20/21 are as far as possible mnemonic. Furthermore, all commands have a long form, and an abbreviated short form. In command references in this manual, the short form is written in upper case letters, and then this is continued in lower case letters so as to constitute the long form.
  • Page 12 Communication Methods Separators (1) Message unit separator A semicolon " " is used as a message unit separator when it is desired to set out several messages on a single line. :VT 2.0;:VOLTage:RANGe 150;:BEEPer ON Do not link queries with :CARD:PICKout? :MEMory:PICKout? other commands or queries.
  • Page 13 However, in order to prevent confusion with abbreviated forms and mistakes in operation, it is rec- ommended practice always to prefix " " to headers. On the 3169-20/21, the current paths are as follows: :AOUT :CARD...

    :STOP:TIME :VOLTage:RANGe :WIRing Answer Message Upon receiving a command, the 3169-20/21 returns to the PC an answer message indicating whether the command has been success- fully received. When creating a program, make sure the PC accepts this answer message. An answer message contains one of the following contents (character strings), according to the status.

  • Page 16: Flow Control

    If the sending device receives 13H (XOFF), it stops sending data. If the sending device receives 11H (XON), it sends data. • The input buffer of the 3169-20/21 has a capacity of 2048 bytes. The output queue size is 50 KB.
  • Page 17 Before executing these queries, set flow control between the 3169-20/21 and PC to XON/XOFF, then perform mea- surement. For binary data files, set flow control to RTS/CTS.
