IEEE 488
To communicate over IEEE 488, you will need an IEEE 488 communications card installed in your PC and
an a IEEE 488 cable connected between the chamber and the PC.
Synergy Controller Technical Manual, Revision H
In the SimpleComm Utility, select the IEEE 488 tab
and set the port number to the same port number
specified on your GPIB controller.
Next, set SimpleComm's 488 address to the
address of the Synergy Controller.
The default Timeout is set to 1 second (1000 ms).
The default sample rate for the IEEE 488 is 4 times
per second. SimpleComm will query the chamber 4
times per second until the timeout period is
reached. IEEE 488 has no connect buttons;
connections are made on an as needed basis. If a
communication attempt fails, a text box message
will notify the user of the error.
To view IEEE specific controls in the SimpleComm
utility, press the Properties button. From this
window you may view and set the GPIB port and
address.
You can test the IEEE connection by pressing the
Test button. This test sends the *IDN? Command to
the Synergy Controller. The response will be
displayed in the response test box. If there is no
response it will display an error message.
