• A controller such as a PC that is connected to the GP-IB2 port cannot remotely control the AQ6370C/AQ6373/AQ6375. • Even if a turnable laser source or an external device to be controlled by the AQ6370C/ AQ6373/AQ6375 using program functions is connected to the GP-IB1 port, it cannot remote control the AQ6370C/AQ6373/AQ6375.
• Settings entered in Remote mode are held even if switching to Local mode. • When a GTL (Go to Local) message is received from the controller, the instrument enters Local mode even if REN is set to False. IM AQ6370C-17EN...
• When an output statement contains multiple remote commands, this instrument captures them all and services them in the order they were written. In this case, unless the last command in the statement has started to be executed, this instrument cannot capture the next command. IM AQ6370C-17EN...

Interface messages come in the following categories. Uniline Messages A message is sent through a single command line. The following are the three types of uniline messages. IFC (Interface Clear) REN (Remote Enable) IDY (Identify) IM AQ6370C-17EN...
Of the multiline messages, SDC is an address command requires specification of the talker or listener, and DCL is a universal command that does not require specification of the talker or listener. Therefore, SDC is applicable only to certain devices, but DCL is applicable to all devices on the bus. IM AQ6370C-17EN...
Sample Program The following shows an example of controlling the AQ6370C/AQ6370D/AQ6373/AQ6373B/ AQ6375/AQ6375B remotely using the GP-IB port. The sample program uses Visual Basic 6.0 as the programming language. Also, a GP-IB board by National Instruments (hereinafter, “NI”) is used as the GP-IB controller and the NI-supplied driver is used as a library.
