    SMIQ Brief Instructions Remote Control The instrument is equipped with an IEC-bus interface according to standard IEC 625.1/IEEE 488.2 and a RS-232 interface. The connectors are located at the rear of the instrument and permit to connect a controller for remote control. The instrument supports the SCPI version 1994.0 (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments).
  • Page 30: Interface

    Switchover to Remote Control SMIQ 3.1.2 RS-232 Interface It is assumed that the configuration of the RS-232 interface at the unit has not yet been changed. 1. Connect unit and controller using the 0-modem cable. 2. Enter the following command at the controller to configure the controller interface: mode com1: 9600, n, 8, 1 3.

    Messages SMIQ 3.2.2 Remote Control via RS-232-Interface 3.2.2.1 Setting the Transmission Parameters To enable an error-free and correct data transmission, the parameters of the unit and the controller should have the same setting. To prevent any problems during binary data transmission, the RS-232 interface is set for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
  • Page 33: Device Messages (Commands And Device Responses)

    SMIQ Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages 3.3.2 Device Messages (Commands and Device Responses) Device messages are transferred on the data lines of the IEC bus, the "ATN" control line not being active. ASCII code is used. The device messages are largely identical for the two interfaces (IEC bus and RS232) .
  • Page 34: Structure Of A Command

    Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages SMIQ 3.4.2 Structure of a Command The commands consist of a so-called header and, in most cases, one or more parameters. Header and parameter are separated by a "white space" (ASCII code 0 to 9, 11 to 32 decimal, e.g. blank). The headers may consist of several key words.
  • Page 35 SMIQ Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Some key words occur in several levels within one command system. Their effect depends on the structure of the command, that is to say, at which position in the header of a command they are inserted. Example: SOURce:FM:POLarity NORMal This command contains key word POLarity in the third command level.
  • Page 36: Structure Of A Command Line

    Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages SMIQ 3.4.3 Structure of a Command Line A command line may consist of one or several commands. It is terminated by a <New Line>, a <New Line> with EOI or an EOI together with the last data byte. Quick BASIC automatically produces an EOI together with the last data byte.
  • Page 37: Parameter

    SMIQ Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages 3.4.5 Parameter Most commands require a parameter to be specified. The parameters must be separated from the header by a "white space". Permissible parameters are numerical values, Boolean parameters, text, character strings and block data. The type of parameter required for the respective command and the permissible range of values are specified in the command description (see Section 3.5).
  • Page 38 Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages SMIQ Block data Block data are a transmission format which is suitable for the transmission of large amounts of data. A command using a block data parameter has the following structure: Example: HEADer:HEADer #45168xxxxxxxx ASCII character # introduces the data block.
  • Page 39: Overview Of Syntax Elements

    SMIQ Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages 3.4.6 Overview of Syntax Elements The following survey offers an overview of the syntax elements. The colon separates the key words of a command. In a command line the separating semicolon marks the uppermost command level.
  • Page 40: Description Of Commands

    Description of Commands SMIQ Description of Commands 3.5.1 Notation In the following sections, all commands implemented in the instrument are first listed in tables and then described in detail, separated according to the command system. The notation corresponds to the one of the SCPI standards to a large extent.
  • Page 41 SMIQ Description of Commands Special characters A selection of key words with an identical effect exists for several commands. These key words are indicated in the same line, they are separated by a vertical stroke. Only one of these key words has to be indicated in the header of the command.
  • Page 42: Common Commands

    Description of Commands SMIQ 3.5.2 Common Commands The common commands are taken from the IEEE 488.2 (IEC 625-2) standard. Same commands have the same effect on different devices. The headers of these commands consist of an asterisk "*" followed by three letters. Many common commands refer to the status reporting system which is described in detail in Section 3.7.
  • Page 43 SMIQ Description of Commands &GTL GO TO LOCAL: The IEC bus (IEEE488) includes line message REN (remote enable). If the device is controlled via a serial interface (RS-232), a remote/local switchover is not possible with this line. This new command in line with IEEE1174 has been therefore introduced so that the device can be switched to local mode via remote control (in the same way as with the front-panel LOCAL key).
  • Page 44 Description of Commands SMIQ *PRE 0 to 255 PARALLEL POLL REGISTER ENABLE sets the parallel poll enable register to the value indicated. Query *PRE? returns the contents of the parallel poll enable register in decimal form. *PSC 0 | 1 POWER ON STATUS CLEAR determines whether the contents of the ENABle registers is maintained or reset in switching on.
  • Page 45: Abort System

    SMIQ ABORt System 3.5.3 ABORt System The ABORt system contains the commands to abort actions triggered. After an action has been aborted, it can be triggered again at once. All commands trigger an event, thus they have no *RST value. Further commands for the trigger system of the SMIQ can be found in the TRIGger system.

  • Page 352 RS-232-C Interface SMIQ A.2.3.1 Handshake Software handshake The software handshake with the XON/XOFF protocol controls data transmission. If the receiver wishes to inhibit data entry, it sends XOFF to the transmitter. The transmitter then interrupts the data output until it receives a XON. The same function is provided at the transmitter side (controller). Note: Software handshake is not suitable for transmission of binary data.
