software such as 5500/CAL or MET/CAL. The 5500/CAL software includes more than
200 example procedures covering a wide range of test tools the 5520A can calibrate.
(See Chapter 6 for a discussion of the RS-232 commands.)
The SERIAL 2 TO UUT serial data port connects a UUT to a PC or terminal via the
5520A (see Figure 1-2). This “pass-through” configuration eliminates 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. The SERIAL 2 TO UUT port is also used to connect to the Fluke 700 series
pressure modules.
1-5. Remote Operation (IEEE-488)
The 5520A rear panel IEEE-488 port is a fully programmable parallel interface bus
meeting standard IEEE-488.1 and supplemental standard IEEE-488.2. Under the remote
control of an instrument controller, the 5520A Calibrator operates exclusively as a
“talker/listener.” You can write your own programs using the IEEE-488 command set or
run the optional Windows-based MET/CAL software. (See Chapter 6 for a discussion of
the commands available for IEEE-488 operation.)
