Tektronix FG 5010 User Manual

PROGRAMMING
INTRODUCTION
This manual section provides the information required for
programming the FG 5010 Programmable 20 MHz Function
Generator via the IEEE - 488 bus . This information assumes
that the reader is knowledgeable in IEEE - 488 bus communi
cation and has had some experience in programming the
system that acts as the controller for the FG 5010. Commu
nication via the IEEE - 488 bus is specified and described in
IEEE - Standard 488-1978 , Standard Digital Interface for
Programmable Instrumentation¹ . TM 5000 instruments are
designed to communicate with any bus compatible control
ler that can
send and receive
ASCII
messages (
commands
)
over the IEEE
- 488 bus .
These
commands
program the in
struments or request information from the instruments .
Commands for TM 5000 programmable instruments are
designed for compatibility among instrument types . The
same commands are used in different instruments to control
similar functions . In addition , commands are specified in
mnemonics that are related to the functions implemented .
For
example
, the INIT
command
initializes
instrument
settings to the
power - up states
.
Commands are presented in three formats :
• Command Functional Groups - A command list divid
ed into functional groups with brief descriptions of
commands .

TM 5000 programmable instruments connect to the
IEEE - 488 bus through a TM 5000 power module . ( Refer to
the
Operating
Instructions
section
of this
manual for infor
mation on installing the FG 5010 in the power module . Also ,
it
would be
advantageous
to
reveiw that
section to become
familiar with front panel and internally selectable instrument
functions . The IEEE - 488 bus primary address for the
FG 5010 is selectable from the back of the insrument when
it
is removed
from the
power module . The
FG 5010 is
shipped with the address set to decimal 24. The message
terminator is also selectable from the back of the instrument
when it is removed from the power module . ( Message termi
nators are described in this section , in the portion entitled
Messages and
Communications
Protocol . ) TM 5000
instru
ments
are shipped
with this
terminator set to
EOI only .
Pressing the
INST ID push
button causes the FG
5010 to
display its selected IEEE - 488 bus primary address ; the
right - hand decimal point lights if the selected message
terminator
is LF / EOI
.
