  • Page 5: Introduction

    Introduction Introduction The Section describes how to operate the meter via an optical interface. • It also explains the detail information of all interface command sets of Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) used in the meter. • The remote control operation enables the user either to manually operate the meter via a terminal or to execute a host computer program automatically.
  • Page 6 Symbols...

  • Page 7: Remote Interface Overview

    • The remote interface is a serial binary data interchange, which operates from 2400 to 19200 baud rate. • The communication port of the 7016 is designed in full duplex, which makes the meter more reliable and efficient in data taking.

  • Page 9: Setting Remote Interface Parameters

    With ECHO ON, the meter echoes (returns) all the characters whatever it receives. Print-Only • The remote indicator of the 7016 is flashing when the meter is set to Print-Only ON. • If the remote interface of the 7016 is under Print-Only mode, the 7016 will print out the measured data when the measurement cycle is completed.

  • Page 11: Chapter 3 Commands Summary

    Chapter 3 Commands Summary Commands Chapter 3 Summary Overview of Command Type and Format • All commands must be entered in the upper case. • There are two types of the 7016 programming commands: IEEE common commands Standard Commands Programmable Instruments (SCPI).
  • Page 12 Chapter 3 Commands Summary Terminator A terminator is a character sent by a host, which identifies the end of a command string. A valid terminator consists of two-byte data: <CR> (Carriage Return, ASC(&H0D)) <LF> (Line Feed, ASC(&H0A))

  • Page 13: Chapter 4 Responding Message

    Chapter 4 Responding Message Responding Chapter 4 Message Return result • After the meter executes a query command the return of the result will be in the following format: <Result> + <CR> <LF> • If communication of the meter is under print-only mode, the meter will print out the measured data when the measurement cycle is completed.
  • Page 14 Chapter 4 Responding Message Data Types of Responding Message and Parameter Data Type Explanation Example ASCII-encoded bytes corresponding to the short <Literal> DCV, ACA form of the literal used as the command parameter. *: +9.90000000E+37 means positive overload, -9.90000000E+37 means negative overload.
