4.4 GP-IB Interface Settings and Connection (Before Using Command Communications)
131
This section describes how to control the instrument using its GP-IB interface.
Items to verify before configuring settings and connecting to the instrument
GP-IB
• Commands common to IEEE-488-2 1987 (requirement) can be used.
• The instrument complies with the following standard. (Compliance standard: IEEE-488.1 1987
*1
)
• The instrument has been designed with reference to the following standard. (Reference standard: IEEE-
488.2 1987
*2
)
If the output queue becomes full, a query error will result, and the output queue will be cleared. Conse-
quently, the instrument does not support the output queue clearing and query error output requirements in
the deadlocked state
*3
as defined by IEEE 488.2.
*
1 ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.1-1987, IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation
*
2 ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.2-1987, IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols, and Common Commands
*
3 Deadlocked state: A state in which processing cannot be continued because the input buffer or output buffer is full.
4.4 GP-IB Interface Settings and Connection
(Before Using Command Communications)
• Turn off all devices before connecting or disconnecting interface connectors. Failure
to do so may result in electric shock.
• To avoid equipment damage, do not short-circuit the connector or input a voltage.
• Be sure to connect the cable to the target device’s GP-IB connector. Connecting the
cable to a connector with different electrical specifications may cause electric shock
or equipment damage.
After connecting, be sure to tighten the connector screws. If the connector is not secured,
operation may fail to meet specifications, and damage could result.
Caution
Use the LAN, RS-232C, or GP-IB interface. Using multiple interfaces simultaneously may cause the instru-
ment to malfunction, for example by interrupting communications.
