Introduction Introduction This manual details the methods to operate the SS7012 DC Signal Source using communication functions, as well as all the commands used by the SS7012. When the communication function is used, the SS7012 can be manually oper- ated using communication terminal software. Furthermore, application software to automatically control the SS7012 can be run.
It is necessary to issue RS-232 commands via the virtual COM port. When RS-232 commands are issued to the virtual COM port, commands are sent to the SS7012 in the following order. (For the receipt of data, the order is reversed.)
For installation instructions, please refer to the instruction manual of the SS9000 Communication Package. After installing the USB driver, connect the personal computer and SS7012 as shown in Figure 2. The virtual RS-232 COM port will be automatically assigned to the USB port.
