Page 6: Remote Control Overview
Remote Control Overview In addition to controlling the TOS5200 from the front panel, you can control it remotely through the following interfaces. • USB interface • RS232C interface You cannot use the USB and RS232C interfaces at the same time.
Page 7: Installing The Visa Library
• If NI-VISA or Agilent VISA is already installed on your PC, you do not need to install KI- VISA. KI-VISA is an original VISA library developed by Kikusui Electronics Corporation that sup- ports the VXIplug&play VISA specifications. You can download the most recent version of this library from the Kikusui Electronics Corporation website (http://www.kikusui.co.jp/en/...
Page 8: Using The Usb Interface
• Complies with USBTMC specification 1.0 and USBTMC-USB488 specification 1.0 • Baud rate: 12 Mbps maximum (full speed) • VID (vendor ID): 0x0B3E • PID (product ID): 0x1046 Service request The TOS5200 is equipped with service request and serial polling functions. TOS5200_INTERFACE...
Page 9: Using The Rs232C Interface
Using the RS232C Interface The TOS5200 RS232C port is a standard D-sub, 9-pin male connector. Check that the TOS5200 and your PC are off, and connect them with a standard crossover cable (null-modem cable). Use a D-sub, 9-pin, female-to-female AT crossover cable. The port pinout is shown below.
Page 10 The break signal is used as a substitute for the IEEE488.1 dcl/sdc (Device Clear, Selected Device Clear) message. To use the RS232C interface, a “SYSTem:REMote” command must be sent to set the TOS5200 to remote mode. To use remote programming, send “SYSTem:REMote” at the beginning of the program. TOS5200_INTERFACE...
Page 11: Talk Mode
Talk mode setting [0: OFF, 1: ON] • If the TOS5200 is initialized, the talk mode is set to “0.” • Even when the talk mode is set to “0” with the *RST command, it will return to the setting specified by the panel when the TOS5200 is restarted.

Page 13: Message Overview
Message Overview This chapter gives an overview of remote control messages. It then explains topics such as the make-up of the SCPI com- mands that are used for remote control and the command syntax.
Page 14: Message Overview
The messages that the PC sends to the TOS5200 are commands. The messages that the TOS5200 sends to the PC are responses. Commands are used to execute functions or change settings on the TOS5200 or to query its settings or status. Responses are used to return the product’s settings or status.
Page 15 Do not include the [ and ] symbols in the actual program. Queries You can query the TOS5200 settings and status. To make a query, append a question mark to the end of the program header section. If the query has parameters, insert a space after the question mark, and then write the parameters.
Page 16: Parameters
Parameters The SCPI parameter format is derived from the program parameter format that is defined in IEEE 488.2. The program data expression format that the TOS5200 uses is shown below. Non-numeric parameters The TOS5200 uses the following three parameter types.
Page 17 Numeric You can also use units such as V, A, and S in numeric parameters. If a value that cannot be assigned is entered, the TOS5200 rounds the value to the closest possible value. Example: SYSTem:CONFigure:BEEPer:VOLume:PASS 2.0 SYST:CONF:BEEP:VOL:PASS must be set to a value from 0.0 to 0.9, so even if you attempt to set the value to 2.0, it will be set to 0.9.

If you send the ABOR, *RST, or *RCL command, the trigger sub- system is switched to the IDLE state, regardless of its current state. If you send the TRG command while the TOS5200 is in the IDLE state, tests will not be per- formed.
Page 30 PASSED? PASS PASSED FAILED PASS HOLD time elapses The TOS5200 has the following two trigger functions. • SEQuence1 (ACQuire) Starts measurements and queries measured values. • SEQuence2 (TEST) Executes tests. You have to specify the execution conditions in advance. TOS5200_INTERFACE...
Page 31: Test Execution (Sequence2:Test)
Test Execution (SEQuence2:TEST) This function executes tests. You have to specify the execution conditions in advance. If the double action feature or momentary feature is set to ON, tests do not start even when you send trigger commands. In the panel CONFIG settings, set the double action feature or momentary feature to OFF. TRIG:SEQ2:SOUR/ TRIG:TEST:SOUR * RST Sets the trigger source to apply to the SEQuence2 (TEST) group.
Page 32 If you send an ABOR command while the TOS5200 is executing tests or measurements, the measured data is discarded. If you send an ABOR command without first sending an INIT command and if the measure- ment data that is held in the TOS5200 is valid, the measured data is not discarded. Command ABORt TEST:PROT:CLE Clears the protection mode.
Page 33: Querying Measured Values (Sequence1:Acquire)
If you send an ABOR command without first sending an INIT command and if the measure- ment data that is held in the TOS5200 is valid, the measured data is not discarded. Command ABORt MEAS:CURR/ READ:CURR Starts a new measurement and queries the current.
Page 34 Querying Measured Values (SEQuence1:ACQuire) MEAS:VOLT/ READ:VOLT Starts a new measurement and queries the voltage. Command MEASure[:ARRay]:VOLTage? READ[:ARRay]:VOLTage? Response Returns the measured voltage in <NR3> format or the measured voltages as a comma- separated list in <NR3>,<NR3>,... format. Unit: MEAS:TIME/ READ:TIME Starts a new measurement and queries the elapsed test time.

Page 39 (including those of the LOCAL key) are locked. This is a substitute command for the IEEE 488.1 REN (Remote Enable), address specification, and llo (Local Lock Out) messages. You can switch the TOS5200 back to local mode by sending the SYST:LOC command. If you send the SYST:REM command, you can use the LOCAL key.
Page 40: Status Register And Status Report Function
In each SCPI status register, there are the following sub registers: the CONDition register, the EVENt register, the ENABle register, the PTRansition filter, and the NTRansition filter. CONDition register The CONDition register transits automatically and reflects the condition of the TOS5200 in real time. Reading this register does not affect its contents. EVENt register The EVENt register bits are automatically set according to the changes in the CONDition reg- ister.

When the controller executes serial polling, bit 6 responds with request service (RQS). The status byte value is not changed by serial polling. *STB? makes the TOS5200 transmit the contents of the status byte register and the master status summary (MSS) message.
Page 43: Event Status Register (Standard Event Status Register)
IEEE 488.2 Register Model Event status register (standard event status register) The event status register bits are set when certain events occur during TOS5200 operation. All the event status register bits are set by the error/event queue. This register is defined by the IEEE 488.2 standard and is controlled by the IEEE 488.2 com- mon commands *ESE, *ESE?, and *ESR?.
