In addition, the instrument accepts input of external trigger. You can use these signals to easily integrate the AT526 with a component handler or system controller. This means that you can fully automate such tasks as component inspection, component sorting, and processing of quality management data for higher manufacturing efficiency.
Remote Control Remote Control This chapter provides the following information to remotely control the AT526 via the RS-232C or USB interface. About RS-232C About USB Interface Select Baud Rate. About SCPI AT526 can use the RS-232 interface or USB interface to communicate with the computer to complete all the instrument functions.
AT526 User's Guide About USB‐Serial Interface (Option) The USB-Serial Interface allows you to connect AT526 to a USB port on your PC. NOTE: Please install the USB-Serial driver before using USB-Serial Interface. The Applent USB-Serial interface model is ATN2. Figure 8‐2 USB‐Serial Interface ATN2 To Select Baud Rate Before you can control the AT526 by issuing RS-232 commands from built-in RS-232 controller connected via its DB-9 connector, you have to configure the RS-232 baud rate.

Remote Control RS-232 interfaces. NOTE: AT526 ONLY supports the SCPI Language.
The common commands are defined in IEEE std. 488.2-1987, and these commands are common for all devices. The SCPI commands are used to control all of the AT526's functions. The SCPI commands are tree structured three levels deep. The highest level commands are called the subsystem commands in this manual.
For example, root:com3:com5 ppp; : root:com1 ppp The AT526 accepts the three forms of the same SCPI commands: all upper case, all lower case, and mixed upper and lower case. Header and Parameters The commands consist of a command header and parameters.
AT526 User's Guide Parameters may be of two types as follows. (A) Character Data and String Data Character data consists of ASCII characters. The abbreviation rules are the same as the rules for command headers. (B) Numeric Data (a) <integer>: For example, 1,+123,-123 (b) <float>: For example, 1.23e3, 5.67e-3, 123k, 1.23M, 2.34G, 1.234...
