14 TOS3200. If the TOS3200 is operating under remote control, the RMT LED on the front panel will illumi- nate. To switch from the remote mode to the local mode (panel operation) from the panel, press the LOCAL key.
If you are using a VISA library (VISA COM) for the I/O library, the VISA library must be installed on the PC. A device driver supporting USB T&M Class (USBTMC) is required to control the TOS3200 through the USB interface. The USBTMC driver is automatically installed by the VISA library.
The RS232C port on the TOS3200 is a standard D-sub 9-pin male connector. Check that the POWER switches of the TOS3200 and the PC are off, and connect the TOS3200 to the PC using a standard cross cable (null modem cable).

Talk mode Processing on the PC can be reduced by using talk mode, because commands do not need to be sent from the PC. If you connect a serial printer to the TOS3200, the test log can be printed directly.
Using the GPIB Interface Use a standard IEEE488 cable to connect the TOS3200 to the PC. Press the I/F (SHIFT+SYSTEM) key to display the interface setup screen (INTERFACE). MANUAL Press the SHIFT+F1 key or turn the rotary knob to select GPIB.
Using the USB Interface A device driver supporting USB T&M Class (USBTMC) is required to control the TOS3200 p. 7 through the USB interface. The USBTMC driver is automatically installed by the VISA library. Press the I/F (SHIFT+SYSTEM) key to display the interface setup screen (INTERFACE).
The information that is exchanged between the PC and the TOS3200 is called a message. The TOS3200 uses the SCPI language for the messages. There are two types of messages, commands that are sent from the PC to the TOS3200 and responses that are sent from the TOS3200 to the PC.
Do not include the braces in the actual program. Characters strings inside brackets indicate optional data. When option data is not sent with the program, the default value will be sent. Do not include the brackets in the actual program. TOS3200...

CR (ASCII 0x0D) is not a terminator. Common commands The IEEE-488.2 and SCPI standards contain a set of common commands for reset, self-test, p. 21 and other functions. These common commands always start with an asterisk. The commands may have one or multiple parameters. TOS3200...
Parameters The parameter format of SCPI is derived from the program parameter format defined in IEEE 488.2. The representation system of the program data that is used on the TOS3200 is indicated below. Non-numeric parameters The TOS3200 uses the following three types of non-numeric parameters.
Page 18
The following optional prefixes are supported. To enter “µ” in the parameter, use “U” instead. • M (milli) • U (micro) The unit symbols in the International System of Units contain lowercase characters. The IEEE standard uses uppercase characters. SCPI commands are not case sensitive. TOS3200...
