Procedure
1.
Connect a PC equipped with a terminal emulation program to the RS-232C port on
the rear panel of the T100S-HP using the appropriate RS-232C cable.
2.
Configure the computer's terminal emulation program with the following parameters:
•
Data transmission rate: 9600 bauds
•
Number of bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1

Overview
Command Message Ending
A command message must end with one of the following:
•
RS-232C: CR (or ASCII code 13 character)
•
IEEE-488.1: LF (or ASCII code 10 character) or EOI message
Response Message
•
RS-232C
When the T100S-HP receives an instruction, the character string is decoded and the
relevant procedure is carried out.
After completion, the T100S-HP returns a message to inform the computer that the
requested procedure has been performed (
OK
statement) or that an error event has
occurred (see section
).
This response message always ends with the same end-of-message group,
indicating that the T100S-HP system is ready to receive a new instruction:
•
(carriage return)
•
> (greater than)
•
" " (space character)
•
IEEE-488.1
Each command/query is immediately handled by the T100S-HP microprocessor.
Upon completion of an instruction, the T100S-HP does not return any response
message unless the command string is a query.
There is no "end-of-message" group at the end of the response message
Message Syntax
Rules
Syntax of messages
•
Command: MNEMONIC=VALUE or MNEMONIC
•
Query: MNEMONIC?
Case
Commands are not case sensitive, you can type messages in upper-case or lower-case
characters.
Response messages are always in upper case.
