EIP 545A - Reading a Measurement; 10 Input

READING A MEASUREMENT
To read a measurement from the counter to a calculator, the counter must first be addressed to talk and
the calculator to listen. The examples below indicate how a calculator may read a measurement from the
counter.

The
EIP counters can use two different modes. HA which takes one reading then waits for a reset command
or a Device Trigger
GPlB Bus Command. In this condition the counter is sent a reset or Device Trigger and
(when addressed to talk) a new reading is output to the BUS. The counter will hold that particular reading
on the display until another reset command or Device Trigger command is received. The other mode is HP
or HOLD PASSIVE. In this mode data
is read out in a normal BUS fashion. The display automatically up-
dates corresponding to the sample rate chosen. In this condition successive readings can be output without
generating
a reset or Device Trigger command each time.
