RS232
Sets the serial communication parameters.
MODE [RSMODE] Selects External Communication or Source IF. External
Communication allows GPIB type commands to be sent to the
power meter over the serial interface from a local computer or
a remote computer via a modem. Source IF allows the power
meter to communicate with an Anritsu synthesizer when the
operation mode is set to Source Sweep.
BAUD [RSBAUD] Sets the serial port BAUD rate. Select from 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600 (default), 19200, or 38400. The other RS232 serial
parameters are fixed at 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
MODEM This menu controls how a modem will react when the power
meter attempts to connect to a remote computer. It allows
entry of a PHONE number, redial COUNT and redial DELAY,
and permits INITialization of a connected modem.
PHONE number
[MODPH]
The phone number can be up to 40 digits. When the number is
being dialed, a dot (.) will be interpreted as a 2-second delay in
the dialing sequence; a minus sign (–) will be interpreted as
wait for another dialing tone.
Redial COUNT
[MODRED]
If the dialed number does not connect, because it was not
answered or was engaged, then the power meter will try to
redial the same number according to the count specified. This
has a minimum value of 0, maximum value of 10 and default
value of 5.
Redial DELAY
[MODDEL]
If the dialed number does not connect, and is to be redialled,
this value specifies the delay in minutes before redialling. This
has a minimum value of 1 minute, maximum value of 10
minutes and a default value of 5 minutes.
INITialize Modem
[MODINIT]
This is a single shot command to reinitialize a connected
modem. As at power on, if this command is executed with a PC
connected directly to the power meter, then a string of modem
commands will be seen by the PC.
AUTO Sets up the power meter to autodial if there is a LIMITS test
failure, sensor RANGE error, or the instrument POWER is
cycled.
LIMITS [MODLIM] If this is set, and the limits fail, then the number specified in
the “phone number” field will be dialed. Remote
communications can then continue as normal.
RANGE [MODRNG] If this is set, and there is a signal channel range error, then
the number specified in the “phone number” field will be
dialed. Remote communications can then continue as normal.
