HP E2261A Description
This manual contains information about installing and using the HP E2261A
Quad RS-232 Port M-Module. This information includes a description of
this module and wiring/configuration information (Chapter 1), Standard
Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) programming
information with example programs (Chapter 2), and register information
with example programs (Chapter 3). Module specifications are provided in
Appendix A of this manual.
The HP E2261A is intended to be installed and used on an M-Module
Carrier (such as the HP E2251). For specific information about installing
and using the HP E2261A M-Module in an HP carrier, refer to the carrier's
manual(s).
The HP E2261A provides four full-duplex (asynchronous) RS-232 Data
Terminal Equipment (DTE) ports on one M-Module. Each port provides:
•
Independently programmable baud rate: (13 fixed rates from 75 baud
to 38400 baud)
•
Independently programmable handshake mode: RTS/CTS and/or
DTR/DSR hardware handshake, XON/XOFF software handshake, or
NONE
•
Independently programmable data format: 5 to 8 data bits plus parity;
odd, even, or no parity; 1, 1.5, or 2 stop bits.
•
Independent 2kByte Input and Output buffer for each port.
When installed in an HP carrier, such as the HP E2251 M-Module Carrier,
the M-Module can be addressed and used like a standard VXIbus module.
The carrier provides a logical address for the M-Module and VXI register
configuration. When installed in an HP M-Module carrier the M-Module
can be programmed by using Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments (SCPI) commands (see Chapter 2) or by the VXIplug&play
driver (refer to the CD ROM supplied with your M-module). Alternately,
you can program the M-Module at the register level (refer to Chapter 3 in
this manual).
