6.0 Remote Operation
Before connecting or operating any
components, follow the safety information in
the ETS-Lindgren
Product Information Bulletin
included with your shipment.
This chapter describes remote operation of the HI-6100 Field Monitor using
either the IEEE-488 parallel port or the RS-232 serial port connected to a remote
device, such as an IEEE-488 bus or a personal computer.
IEEE-488 Requirements
For IEEE-488 operation, the device address is set to 4 at the factory.
Command Set Format
Each command or query code is composed of four alpha characters and optional
numerical parameters. When a query is received, the receiver returns a string
consisting of the query followed by the current setup for that command.
Commands can be entered in upper or lower case.
A line feed, <LF>, terminates all commands. To include several commands in a
single command string, separate each command by a semicolon (delimiter). Do
not include spaces between a command and its associated numeric parameter.
Data returned from the receiver will be terminated with a <CR><LF>.
