Section 5
Computer Interfacing
5.1 Introduction
The 1830-C has two computer interface ports: GPIB and RS-232C. The GPIB
interface conforms with the IEEE 488.1 hardware standard. All commands
for the 1830-C are device dependent commands. In this manual, we inter-
changeably use either GPIB or IEEE 488 when referring to the IEEE 488 bus.
Please see the General Guidelines sections for using either the GPIB
(Section 5.5.3) or RS-232C (Section 5.4.3) interfaces. These sections
include important information on using these interfaces properly.
5.2 Computer Interface Terminology
Key abbreviations and concepts used in the command reference section of
this manual are listed below:
<EOI> End or Identify
An IEEE488.1 signal sent with the end-of-string character.
<CR> Carriage Return
The ASCII decimal “13” byte.
<LF> Line Feed
An ASCII decimal “10” byte.
<NL> New Line
Defined in the IEEE 488 standard as the ASCII decimal “10” byte.
