6.
At the prompt type the subsequent line to start the IEEE interface card:
<ibdev 0 4 0 10 1 0>
The second number in this line is the primary address of the calibrator. If the address
is changed from the factory default, change this line accordingly.
7.
The prompt reads <ud0:>. From this prompt type <ibwrt "remote"> then push the
ENTER (or RETURN) key.
8.
Make sure that the calibrator is in remote control.
9.
Select the Local command from the Control menu, then click OK in the Parameter
Input Window. See the Calibrator Control Display changes to the reset condition
(below).

From the ud0: prompt, type <q> and then push the ENTER (or RETURN) key.
Set up the RS-232 Host Port for Remote Control
The Calibrator is fully programmable with an RS-232 connection with a PC the rear
panel SERIAL 1 FROM HOST port (Figure 5-2). You can record individual commands
from a terminal, write your own programs with, for example, a Windows-based language
such as Visual Basic, or use optional Windows-based Fluke Calibration software such as
MET/CAL Plus.
The RS-232 cable length for the port must not be more than 15 meters (50 feet), although
longer cable lengths are permitted if the load capacitance measured at a connection point
(including signal terminator) does not go more than 2500 pF.
RS-232 Host Port Setup Procedure
Complete the subsequent procedure to set up the SERIAL 1 FROM HOST port. The
RS-232 parameters that you select here must be the same parameters set for the PC COM
port. The factory defaults (shown on the display below) are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, and no parity. Other parameters include flow control, EOL (end-of-line) character,
and EOF (end-of-file) characters.
1.
Turn on the Calibrator power. You can operate the Calibrator during warmup, but
specifications are not guaranteed until warmup is complete.
2.
Push
on the Calibrator front panel.
3.
Negotiate the softkey selections shown below to select the serial port for remote
operation, then continue to Step 4.
