Remotely Controlling the T100S-HP
via IEEE-488.1
Subject
The GPIB is located on the rear panel and is labeled
IEEE 488
(see
T100S-HP User
Manual
). It is compatible with the IEEE-488.1 standard.
The standard configuration is composed of a controller device (which is usually a
computer equipped with a GPIB interface board and corresponding IEEE-488.1 terminal
emulation software) linked to various instruments. The controller manages the flow of
information to, from, and between devices. One "talker" device and one or more "listener"
devices may be present at any time on the GPIB link. Data sent on the bus is encoded in
ASCII strings.
Each instrument on the bus is identified by its own GPIB address. The default T100S-HP
GPIB address is 10 but can take any value between 1 and 30 (see section
).
For each instrument, you can use different control registers to determine the instrument
operation state. This section defines such registers and how they can be used to
properly remotely control the T100S-HP via IEEE-488.1.
