KXCI Settings
If you need to set up the 4200A-SCS as a subordinate on a GPIB or ethernet system, you do the
initial setup through the KCon KXCI Settings. This allows you to use an external computer to remotely
control the 4200A-SCS over GPIB or ethernet.
You can also use KXCI to set up emulation for Keysight 4145B Semiconductor Parameter Analyzers.
In many cases, test programs developed for use with a Keysight 4145B run without modification when
they are used with a 4200A-SCS running KXCI.
Refer to Model 4200A-SCS KXCI Remote Control Programming for detailed information
regarding KXCI.
Set up KXCI for GPIB control
To set up GPIB control:
1. Open KCon.
2. Select KXCI Settings. The KXCI Settings dialog box is displayed, as shown in the following
figure.
3. Set Communications to GPIB.
4. Set the GPIB Address. This is the primary address of the 4200A-SCS when operating under
KXCI control. If the selected GPIB address conflicts with the GPIB address of another system
component, a red exclamation-point symbol (!) is displayed next to the selected address.
5. Set the Reading Delimiter to determine the output data delimiter characters that are added to
the end of each KXCI output message:
▪ Select String Terminator to use a character.
▪ Select Comma to terminate output data with a comma (,).
6. If you selected String Terminator, select the type of Character:
▪ None to use no character.
▪ CR to use a carriage return.
▪ LF to use a line feed.
▪ CR/LF to use a carriage return and line feed character sequence.
7. If String Terminator is selected, select EOI ON or EOI OFF. The EOI setting determines if the
4200A-SCS asserts the GPIB End Or Identify (EOI) signal with the last byte of each output data
message.
8. Select OK.
