515 Determine if the operation has completed
After commanding the instrument to set a delay, e.g., sending a del1 or del2 command, use the *OPC? query to determine when
the operation has completed. A return value of “1” signies the new delay setting has taken effect and the trombone has completed
movement.
command response description
del1 31250 ps set delay to 312.50 ps
*opc? 1 operation completed
516 Check the error code
After sending any command, use the *ERR? or the ERR? query to determine the error code if any.
command response description
del1 31250 ps set delay to 312.50 ps
*err? 0 no error
517 Determine the network address and settings
Use the NET? query to determine what the IP address, gateway address, DHCP status, and network settings.
command response
net? IP=192.168.8.27,NM=255.255.0.0,GW=192.168.100.1,PORT=5025, DHCP=ON,AD=ON
518 About the MODE command and MODE? query
The MODE command sets the trombone operating mode to Serial or Parallel mode. Serial mode (default) will round down all delay
settings entered to nearest 0.50 step and is used when operating both halves of the trombone when connected. Parallel mode will round
down to 0.25 step and is used when only the top or bottom half of the trombone is used.
command/query response description
mode 625ps set to Serial mode
mode? 625 ps
mode par set to Parallel mode
mode? 312.50 ps
519 Setting a STEP size and using the INC and DEC commands
Delay settings in each channel can be incremented or decremented by a pre-determined step size amount. Use the STEP command to set
the step size amount and the INC (increment) or DEC (decrement) command to set the new delay setting.
command/query response description
step 25 ps set step size
step? 2.5000e-11 query the step size
del? 1.000000e-10
inc increment
*opc? 1 operation complete
del? 1.250000e-10
dec decrement
