Precautions Before Use - ONOSOKKI TS-3200A Instruction Manual

5.5.2 Precautions Before Use

When the TS-3200A is used with a computer (controller) connected to it, if the power of any devices
(plotters, printers, and other measuring devices) connected to the controller is turned off, noise margin
may be deteriorated.
When using the TS-3200A, therefore, make sure that the power of all the devices connected to the
controller is turned ON and that unnecessary devices are disconnected from the controller.
TS-3200A
• Connect the GP-IB cables securely.
Check whether the cables are connected securely before use.
• Check the address of the TS-3200A.
When a computer is used to control the TS-3200A, check address settings.
• Check the terminator of the controller.
The transmitting/receiving terminator of the TS-3200A is CR+LF.
Use the same terminator also for the controller.
• Check whether the command type agrees with the program sequence.
For example, if you send a command for data read and then another one to the TS-3200A, the TS-3200A
waits until it is specified as a talker resulting in program lock.
Make setting so that command type agrees with the program sequence.
