Receiving Data
When requesting data from the instrument it will automatically send the data back to
the controller input buffer. The controller input buffer will accumulate data being sent
from the instrument, including the ACK and NAK response strings, until it has been
read by the controller.
7.2. RS-232 Interface Command List
The RS-232 bus will automatically send any response back to the controller's input
buffer. Note that the commands are case sensitive and must be typed in capital
letters. Each command string should be terminated by the ASCII control code, New
Line <NL>, or OAh.
The following conventions are used to describe the commands syntax for the Hypot
III. Braces ({ }) enclose each parameter for a command string. Triangle brackets (< >)
indicate that you must substitute a value for the enclosed parameter. The Pipe ( | ) is
used to separate different parameter options for a command. The command and the
parameter data must be separated with a space. All commands that end with a
question mark (?) are query commands and require an IEEE-488 read command to
retrieve the data from the device's output buffer.
7.2.1. Test Execution Commands
The following commands are used to control actual output voltage and current from
the instrument. Please observe all safety precautions.
Abort a Test in Process or Reset
Failures
TEST
Starts the test sequence at the selected step loaded into memory (RAM).
RESET
Stop or abort a test. Also used to reset a latched failure condition.
CAOF
Set the offset for the Continuity test. The cables and any test fixture should be
connected before executing the command. This command will perform an actual test
and all safety precautions should be observed when using this command.
7.2.2. File Editing Commands
The following commands are used to create or modify Test Setup Files.
MSS <memory number step number>
