Computer Controlled Operation The 6200 can be used with a personal computer to control a dynamometer and to transmit data from motor testing directly to the computer. about the gpib interfaCe Magtrol instruments use the gPIb (IEEE-488 Standard) for computer-to-instrument interfacing because: •...

  • Page 24: Checking The 6200-To-Pc Connection

    Each instrument serviced by the gPIb has its own Primary Address code, which enables the computer to obtain readings from the instrument. The factory default setting on the 6200 is 15. Some PC interfaces can access from one to fifteen 4-bit primary addresses. other interfaces can access as many as thirty-one 5-bit primary addresses.
