5. Computer Controlled Operation The 6400 can be used with a personal computer (PC) to acquire and log data. Using the 6400 with a computer enables the unit to perform at its full capacity. ABOUT THE GPIB INTERFACE Magtrol prefers the GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus)/IEEE-488 Standard for computer-to- instrument interfacing because: •... -
Page 32: Changing The Gpib Primary Address
Each instrument serviced by the GPIB has its own primary address code, which enables the computer to obtain readings from the instrument. The factory default of the setting on the 6400 is 11. Some personal computer interfaces can access from one to fifteen 4-bit primary addresses. Other interfaces can access as many as thirty-one 5-bit primary addresses. -
Page 33: Communication Parameters
The 6400 and its host computer must be communicating before acquiring data. 1. Make sure the primary GPIB address is set correctly for the 6400. 2. Set the input variable to 16 characters (14 variable characters and the two required data termination characters CR and LF. -
Page 34: Data Format
EXAMPLE If a motor is running at 1725 rpm clockwise, with the torque transducer loading the motor to 22.6 oz·in, the 6400 will return: S 1725T22.60L1 By manipulating the string, the speed-torque and shaft direction (if required) can be extracted. -
Page 35: Programming
Use the following information to answer the formatting questions asked when installing your GPIB software. All GPIB data acquisition systems require the use of data termination characters. The 6400 uses the GPIB standard termination characters Carriage Return (CR) and Line Feed (LF). Provide them in that order. -
