Chapter 12 GP-IB and RS-232C Interface 12.1 Overview The 3193 includes the GP-IB interface and RS-232C interface as a standard feature. WARNING CAUTION It is not possible to use simultaneously both GP-IB and RS-232C NOTE interfaces. The 3193 cannot communicate with a PC when the STATUS screen or the FDD screen is shown on the display of the 3193.
All device trigger functions The controller function is not provided. ASCII codes are used. When using the GP-IB cable, the following HIOKI's shielded cables can be used. 9151-02 GP-IB CONNECTION CABLE (2 m) 9151-04 GP-IB CONNECTION CABLE (4 m) 1. Press the...

12.3 Interface Outline 12.3.1 Messages Data received or sent by the interface is called a message. The following are the message types: Of these, program messages are those received by the unit from the controller, while response messages are those sent from the unit to the controller.
12.3.2 Command Syntax The names of commands for the 3193 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.
12.3.4 Message Terminators The 3193 recognizes, (1) linefeed character (LF; GP-IB and RS-232C), (2) EOI signal (GP-IB only), (3) LF with EOI (GP-IB only), as message terminators. To terminate a response message, the 3193 always provides the appropriate EOI signal, and also sends a terminating character sequence. By the use of the "TRANsmit:TERMinator"...
12.3.6 Data Formats The 3193 uses character string data and decimal numeric data, and the type used varies according to the command in question. Character string data must always begin with an alphabetic character, and the following characters 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 3193 are always in upper case letters.
For the integer values as a parameter of the following commands, the decimal fractions are rounded, but for the ":CURRent [channel]:RANGe" command for current range setting in range 0.2A and 0.5 A, the second decimal place is rounded. The real numbers as a parameter of the following commands are rounded to the fifth decimal place.
12.3.8 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: • • W hen a device clear is issued. •...
12.3.11 Status Model In its implementation of the serial polling function using service requests, the 3193 employs the status model specified by IEEE 488.2. The term "event" refers to any phenomenon which generates a service request. bit 6 bit 7 bit 5 bit 4 bit 3...
12.3.12 Status Byte Register The status byte register is an 8-bit register whose contents are output from the 3193 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.•...
12.3.13 Event Registers 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. bit 5 bit 7 bit 6...
Page 132
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. Power on flag. Bit 7 When the power is turned on, or on recovery from a power cut, this bit is set to 1.
Page 133
The 3193 has three event status registers, and three corresponding event status enable registers. The event status registers are numbered 0 to 2, and are each 8-bit registers; they correspond to bits ESB0 to ESB3 of the status byte. Each bit has a particular 3193 event allocated to it. The constituent bits are masked by the corresponding event status enable register, then the summary (logical OR) is copied to one of bits 0 to 2 (ESB0- ESB2) of the status byte (STB).
Page 134
This register is used principally to monitor start and stop processing events. The following commands are used for reading the event status register 0, and for setting the event status enable register 0 and for reading it. Reading event status register 0 *ESR0? Setting event status enable register 0 *ESE0...
Page 135
This register is used to monitor the input units for out of range values. Bits 1 to 6 correspond to channels 1 to 6. The bits are summaries of the event status registers 11 to 16 (ESR11 to ESR16), which show the out-of-range information for each input unit. The bit 0 is summary of the event status register F (ESRF), which shows the out-of-range information for frequency.
Page 136
This register monitors for out-of-range inputs to the 9605 harmonic analysis/flicker measurement unit. Its value is therefore all zeros unless the optional 9605 is installed. Bits 1 to 6 correspond to the harmonic analysis boards for channels 1 to 6. However, since a maximum of three harmonic analysis boards can be selected simultaneously, no more than three bits can ever be set.
Page 137
These registers are event status registers indicating out-of-range inputs for input unit channels 1 to 6 and harmonic analysis board input channels 1 to 6. A summary of these registers is reflected in ESR1 and ESR2. The following commands are used for reading the event status register, and for setting the event status enable register and for reading it.
Page 138
This register is an event status register indicating out-of-range inputs for frequency inputs. A summary of this register is reflected in bit OF of ESR1. The following commands are used for reading the event status register, and for setting the event status enable register and for reading it. Reading event status register F *ESRF? Setting event status enable register F...

16.2 Notes on Use • • T he 9602 is a factory-fitted option. It therefore requires the 3193 unit for calibration or repair. • • F or accurate measurement, allow one hour for warming up before use. • • I t may not be possible to obtain accurate measurements close to a transformer or conductor carrying a large high-frequency current, or close to any device such as a radio transmitter generating a strong magnetic field.

Note 1: There are limited ranges for the levels at which the accuracy is specified, depending on the input signal frequency. Note 2: The accuracy specified range varies depending on switching response and coupling mode. See each column on the next page. Note 3: When using the AC clamp, the coupling mode is automatically set to AC mode.

Chapter 17 9603 EXTERNAL SIGNAL INPUT UNIT (Option) 17.1 Overview The 9603 EXTERNAL SIGNAL INPUT UNIT, when installed in the 3193, allows an analog signal output by another device to be input and combined with other measurements. In particular, combination with a motor torque gauge or rotation counter allows the 3193 to compute and display the motor power and efficiency.

17.5 Internal Block Diagram The DC voltage input through the BNC connector is converted, in differential and range circuits, to a voltage proportional to the input voltage, and transferred to the 3193 proper by an A/D converter. When measuring a rotation rate by counting pulses, channel B can be switched so that pulses are counted by the frequency measurement function in the 3193 proper.
