Fluke 5502A - Remote Operation (IEEE-488)

Introduction and Specifications
Operation Overview 1
1-7
The SERIAL 2 TO UUT serial data port connects a UUT to a PC or terminal with the
5502A (see Figure 1-2). This “pass-through” configuration removes the requirement for
two COM ports at the PC or terminal. A set of four commands control the operation of
the SERIAL 2 TO UUT serial port. See Chapter 6 for a discussion of the UUT_
commands.

Remote Operation (IEEE-488)
The rear-panel IEEE-488 port is a fully programmable parallel interface bus that
complies with standard IEEE-488.1 and supplemental standard IEEE-488.2. When the
Calibrator is used by remote control of an instrument controller, the Calibrator operates
exclusively as a “talker/listener.” You can write your own programs with the IEEE-488
command set or run the optional Windows-based MET/CAL Plus software. See Chapter
6 for a discussion of the commands available for IEEE-488 operation.
