──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 1.2 Shipping Precautions If reshipping the unit, preferably use the original packing. If this is not available, use the following procedure. (1) Wrap the unit in plastic sheeting. (2) After wrapping cushioning material around the unit, pack it into a cardboard box, and then seal up the box with adhesive tape.
If you do not do so, the address change will not be registered by the bus, and problems will occur. (2) Always be sure to secure the GP-IB cable to the 9518-02 unit by tightening up the fixing screws provided.
The space for fitting the 9518-02 GP-IB INTERFACE in the rear panel of the 3157 is covered with a blank panel. Follow these three steps to install the 9518-02 interface: (1) Remove the fixing screws, and take off the blank panel.
Further, the 9518-02 is designed with reference to the following standard: Reference standard : IEEE 488.2-1987 On the 9518-02, if the output queue becomes full, it is cleared and a query NOTE error is generated. This differs from the IEEE 488.2 specification, which...

──────────────────────────────────────────────────── (2) 9518-02 GP-IB interface outer panel Address switches These are used to set the device address of the 3157 unit on the GP-IB bus. For how to set these switches, refer to Section 4.1, "Setting the GP-IB Device Address."...
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Chapter 4 Operation 4.1 Setting the GP-IB Device Address ・The address of the 3157 unit (called the device) on the GP-IB bus can be set to any number from 0 to 30. ・Use the Address switches on the GP-IB panel to set the device address. ・On dispatch from the factory, this address is initially set to 1.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 4.2 Communication Methods by the GP-IB In order to control the 3157 by the GP-IB, there are several kinds of messages. Of these, program messages are those received by the 3157 from the computer, while response messages are those sent from the 3157 to the computer. Command messages Program messages Query messages...
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 4.3 Message Format The commands for the 3157 are as far as possible mnemonic. Furthermore, all commands have a long form, and an abbreviated short form. 4.3.1 Program Message The program message is made up from header and data portions. Example Command message to set test time to ON :TIMER_ON...
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 4.4 Headers (1) Program message headers There are three types of header: simple commands, compound commands, and standard common commands. ・Simple command header A header consisting of a single word beginning with a letter. Examples :HEADer etc. ・Compound commands header A header consisting of a sequence of words separated by colons.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 4.5 Data Formats The 3157 uses character string data and decimal numeric data, and the type used varies according to the command in question. (1) Character data Character string data must always begin with an alphabetic character, and the characters following can be either alphabetic characters or numerals. Although in character data either upper case letters or lower case letters are accepted, response messages output by the 3157 are always in upper case letters.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 4.6 Message Terminators The 3157 recognizes either a linefeed character (LF) or the EOI signal, or both, as message terminators. To terminate a response message, the 3157 always provides the appropriate EOI signal, and also sends a terminating character sequence. By the use of the ":TRANsmit:TERMinator"...
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 4.8 Abbreviation of Compound Commands When several compound commands have a common head portion (for example, :CONFigure:CURRent and :CONFigure:RUPPer, etc.), then, when and only when writing them directly following on from one another, this common portion (:CONFigure in this example) can be omitted from each command except for the first one.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 4.9 Output Queue Response messages accumulate in the output queue and are read out as data and cleared by the controller. The output queue is also cleared in the following circumstances: ・When a device clear is issued. ・When the power is turned off and turned on again. The 3157 has an output queue of 300 bytes capacity.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 4.11 Status Model In its implementation of the serial polling function using service requests, the 3157 employs the status model specified by IEEE 488.2. The term "event" refers to any phenomenon which generates a service request. Status byte register (STB) Represents standard event register Generation of service request (SRQ) Data is present in the output queue...
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 4.12 Status Byte Register (1) Status byte register (STB) The status byte register is an 8-bit register whose contents are output from the 3157 to the controller, when serial polling is being performed. If any bit in the status byte register has changed from 0 to 1 (provided that it is a bit which has been set in the service request enable register as a bit which can be used), then the MSS bit is set to 1.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 4.13 Event Registers (1) Standard event status register (SESR) The standard event status register is an 8-bit register. If any bit in the standard event status register is set to 1 (after masking by the standard event status enable register), bit 5 (ESB) of the status byte register is set to 1. tatus byte register (STB) bit 6 Standard event status register (SESR)
Page 27
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── (2) Standard event status enable register (SESER) Setting any bit of the standard event status enable register to 1 enables the corresponding bit of the standard event status register to be accessed. Standard event status register (SESR) bit assignments Power on flag.
Page 28
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── (3) Event status register specific to the 3157 (ESR0) An 8-bit event status register is provided for managing events on the 3157. If any bit in this event status register is set to 1 (after masking by the corresponding event status enable register), the following happens: ・For event status register 0, bit 0 of the status byte register (ESB0) is set to 1.
