Connections GPIB Control Connection The Model 5105 comes equipped with a 24-pin connector which mates with any GPIB control interface cable with metric mating screws. The GPIB has 16 signal lines and 8 ground return or shield drain lines. All GPIB devices share the same 24 bus lines. -
Page 15: Configuring The Matrix
Configuring the Matrix Configuring the Matrix Before you configure your matrix, you will need to contact your network administrator to obtain the following information: • IP address for the matrix • TCP port number Each device on your network must have a unique address so that all devices can communicate simultaneously over the same network. -
Page 16: Testing The Ethernet Communication
It was designed to operate with common network utilities and drivers. If the Matrix fails to communicate, contact your network administrator for additional assistance. If your network administrator is unable to locate the problem, please contact Dow-Key Microwave Corporation at 1-805-650-2325. -

Page 23: Remote Operation
SCPI is a command structure that is based on the IEEE-488.2 specification which Dow-key has adapted to work with both GPIB and Ethernet control. The model 5105 has internal software loaded that can be written using SCPI command structure. SCPI is the abbreviation of Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments. -
Page 24: Command Separators
• A semicolon (;) is used to combine commands from the same subsystem into one message string. • A colon and a semicolon is used to link commands from different subsystems. Common Commands The following contains the common commands of SCPI that the 5105 matrix is compatible with. 6.4.1 *IDN? Syntax... -
Page 25: Opc
Remote Operation 6.4.2 *OPC? Syntax *OPC? Description This query returns an ASCII character “1” when all pending operations have been finished. Result ASCII character “1”. Example ROUTE:MODULE1,2,3;*OPC? Result “1” 6.4.3 *RST Syntax *RST Description This command performs a device reset. This will set the instrument so that all modules are set to failsafe output 1. -
Page 26: System Commands
Remote Operation System Commands The following contains the system commands of SCPI that the 5105 matrix is compatible with. 6.5.1 SYST:ERR? Syntax SYSTem:ERRor? Description Query the instrument’s error queue. A record of up to N errors is stored in the instrument’s error queue. - Page 27 Remote Operation Explanation of Error Queue “-1”INVALID CHARACTER”” Invalid character detected. Would be caused by “ROUTE:MODULE1,2,Y”. The software is expecting a switch position number and you have entered a letter instead. Hence ‘Y’ is an invalid character. Solution: check your syntax in the offending message.

Module positions are specified in a 1 to N fashion, therefore legal values for <x> are from 1 to 8, <y>... -
Page 29: Route:closures
Remote Operation 6.6.3 ROUTe:CLOSURES? Syntax [ROUTe]:CLOSURES? Description This command is used to query the matrix to return a list of closed contacts. The list will be in the form of <module1path1output,module1path2output….. module8path1output,module8path2output>. Note: upon power-up, all module:path pairs will be set to output 1. If ROUTE:CLOSURES? was sent after power-up before any other switching takes place, you would expect the following string returned. - Page 30 Appendix A The following is the available configurations for the Model 5105.
