• When the 3157 soft start mode is enabled, its operation slows down at starting test. This may cause a communication error, depending on the preset baud rate. Bit 8 is fixed at "1" (on). Switching it will cause improper operation. • 4. 1 Setting the RS-232C Communication Conditions HIOKI 9593C981-01...
It represents the response data for query messages from the 3157. Example :TIMER_ON (Test time is currently enabled.) C三) A space is represented by "_" in the examples. Program messages 三へ| 四ニ ゜ ゜ 畷 ← Response messages 4.2 Communication Methods by the RS-232C HIOKI 9593C981-01...
Response messages generated by the 3157 are in long form and in upper case letters. Example :TIMER_ON ( Test time is currently enabled. ) C三) If an error occurs when the query message is received, the query does not produce response message. 4.3 Message Format HIOKI 9593C981-01...

The term "NRf format" includes all these three formats. When the 3157 is receiving it accepts NRf format, but when it is sending response messages it utilizes whichever one of the formats NRl to NR3 is indicated in the specified command. Examples :CONFigure:CURRent_25 :CONFigure:CURRent_ +25.012 :CONFigure:CURRent_0.0025E4 4.5 Data Formats HIOKI 9593C981-01...
Example :ADjust_ON (3) Data separator If a message has several data items, commas (,) are required as data separators for separating these data items from one another. Example :KEY_< first byte>, <second byte> 4. 7 Separators HIOKI 9593C981-01...
Messages with particular headers can be executed without relation to the current path. Further, they have no effect upon the current path. With the 3157, there are 4 possible current paths: :CON Figure: :MEASure: :MEMory: :SYSTem: 4.8 Abbreviation of Compound Commands HIOKI 9593C981-01...
