Syntax rules
The end of a message must be the LF character (hexadecimal 0A, decimal 10).
The separators inside a message are ; or :
The commands can be sent either in small letters or in capital letters.
The maximum number of characters in the message is 100 or 8 different commands
The end of the execution of a complete message by the unit is indicated by the emission of the Xon
(hexadecimal 11, decimal 17) character and allows synchronizing the communication with the
computer. The computer must wait the Xon character before sending the next message.
The events occurring during the measurement are indicated to the computer by the emission of the Z
character (format error, end of test, interlock open, ....). To activate this function, it is necessary to
send the SRQ command after the initialization of the unit. When receiving this character, a special
command allows the computer to get the event (commands *STB?, *ESR?)
If the message is not recognized by the unit, the error message <DIALOG ERROR : 1> is displayed
If the code is out of context, the error message <DIALOG ERROR: 2> is displayed
(special code for a function when the function was not selected or numerical value out of range)
