Communications Command Examples
8.10 Communications Command Examples
Communications commands for controlling the instrument using the communications function are
introduced here.
When a command is sent, a message terminator (CR, LF, etc.) needs to be added, however, it is
omitted in this section. The terminator (CR+LF) added to responses is also omitted in the same
manner.
Verification example before measurement
This is an example of checking the instrument status, acquiring the instrument information, etc.
before measurement.
Description
Sent to the BT5525 from
the controller
Example of the BT5525
response
(1) Checking the
communications status
*IDN?
HIOKI,BT5525,220612345,V1.00
(2) Checking the FPGA
version
:SYSTem:FPGA?
A2206123
(3) Checking the adjustment
date
:SYSTem:ADJusted:DATE?
22,06,01
(4) Checking the calibration
date
:SYSTem:CALibrated:DATE? 22,06,01
(5) Checking the self-test
*TST?
PASS
(6) Checking the error
:SYSTem:ERRor?
0,"No Error"
(1)
Communications with the instrument is checked. The manufacturer and model of the unit that
sends a response are fixed. The serial number consists of 9 digits and the first 4 digits represent
the manufacturing year and month. In this example, “2206” indicates June 2022. When controlling
multiple units of the instrument, refer to the serial number and check the connection destination is
correct. The version number may change due to software upgrade.
(2)
The FPGA version is checked.
(3), (4)
The adjustment date and calibration date are checked.
(5)
Perform a self-check and check that the instrument passes the test.
Repair is necessary if the instrument fails the test.
(6)
The error information is checked.
When the error number is not 0, refer to the error list and take appropriate measures.
