When using the RS-232C interface These indicators show the RS-232C control state: RMT: Remote PRINT: Printer mode Pr.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 8.3 Interface Outline 8.3.1 Features (1) In the HOLD state, single-shot measurement is possible. (2) IEEE 488.2-1987 standard (essential) commands can be used. (3) This unit can output manual, time interval and help output using the printer mode. 8.3.2 Messages Data received or sent by the interface is called a message.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 8.3.3 Command Syntax The names of commands for the 3332 are as far as possible mnemonic. Furthermore, all commands have a long form, and an abbreviated short form. In command references in this manual, the short form is written in upper case letters, and then this is continued in lower case letters so as to constitute the long form.
(3) LF with EOI (GP-IB only), as message terminators. To terminate a response message, the 3332 always provides the appropriate EOI signal, and also sends a terminating character sequence. By the use of the "TRANsmit:TERMinator" command either of the following can be...
Further, if the accuracy of a numerical value exceeds the range with which the 3332 can deal, it is rounded off. (5 and above is rounded up; 4 and below is rounded down). ① NR1 format: integer data (+12, -23, 34) ②...
・When the unit is reset by a key press. ・When a query error is generated. The 3332 has an output queue of 1000 bytes capacity. If the response messages overflow this limit of 1000 bytes, a query error is generated, and the output queue is cleared.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 8.3.10 Input Buffer The 3332 has an input buffer of 1000 bytes capacity. Messages which are received are put into this buffer and executed in order. If the data accumulated in this buffer exceeds 300 bytes the buffer becomes full, and until a space again becomes available in the buffer the GP-IB interface bus goes into the waiting state.
The status byte register is an 8-bit register whose contents are output from the 3332 to the controller, when serial polling is being performed. If even only one 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. ...
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 8.3.13 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. Status byte register (STB) bit 5 Standard event status register (SESR)
Page 114
(3) Event status registers specific to the 3332 (ESR0, ESR1, ESR2) Three 8-bit event status registers are provided for managing events on the 3332. If any bit in one of these event status registers 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.

Page 116
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Event status registers 0 to 2 are cleared in the following three situations: ① When a " * CLS" command is received. ② When an "ESR0?" query (for event status register 0), "ESR1?" query (for event status register 1), or "ESR2?" query (for event status register 2) are received.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────── 8.3.14 GP-IB Commands The following commands are used for performing interface functions: Command Function Go To Local The remote state is canceled, and the system goes into the local state. Local Lock Out All keys, including the LOCAL key, become inoperable. Device CLear Clears the input buffer and the output queue.

9.1 Disposing Disposing of the unit The 3332 uses a lithium battery as the power source for the memory for backing up the settings. If you intend to dispose of the unit, you should first dismantle the unit, and remove the lithium battery.
If the unit is not functioning properly, check the power cord wiring, and CAUTION fuse blowing. If a problem is found, contact your dealer or HIOKI representative. Pack the unit carefully so that it will not be damaged during transport, and write a detailed description of the problem.
