To start Model 2400 emulation:
1. Press the
LOAD
key and then select
USER
from the menu.
2. Select
Run2400
and press the
ENTER
key (if this test is not loaded, you must load the script into
internal nonvolatile memory).
3. Press the
RUN
key. You will notice the REM indicator lights (the script places the instrument in
remote).
To configure options for the Model 2400 emulation:
1. If a script is running, press the
EXIT
key to abort.
2. Press the
LOAD
key, then select
USER
from the menu and then press the
ENTER
key.
3. Select
Configure2400
and then press the
ENTER
key.
4. Press the
RUN
key.
5. Select a menu item to configure the emulation. The available menu items are:
•
RunAtPowerON
: Select
ENABLE
to configure the Series 2600B so it automatically starts in Model
2400 emulation mode after the next power cycle. Select
DISABLE
to disable this option (disables the
autorun for the next power cycle). This option does not place the Series 2600B into Model 2400
emulation immediately.
•
DisplayErrors
: Select
YES
to display error messages on the front panel as they occur; select
NO
to
disable this option. This setting is not retained through power cycles. This option (when enabled) will
delay the script execution by approximately 2 seconds when there is an error.
•
DeleteScript
: To delete the Persona2400 script from Series 2600B, select
YES
and then turn the
instrument off and back on. This step must be performed before reloading the Persona2400 script.
Select
NO
to cancel.
•
Version
: Select this menu item to display the Persona2400 script version.
Operating the Series 2600B as a Model 2400
When the script is loaded and running, the Series 2600B is ready to accept Model 2400 SCPI
commands.
To exit out of Model 2400 emulation mode and return to Series 2600B normal operation, send the
DIAG:EXIT
command. You can also press the
EXIT
key to abort the script.
Execute SCPI commands when not in Model 2400 emulation mode
You can execute SCPI commands when not in Model 2400 emulation mode. To accomplish this,
send the
Initialize2400()
command once and then send the
Execute2400()
command with
the SCPI command as a parameter in quotes. For example to execute the SCPI command
:SOURCE:VOLTAGE 1, send
Execute2400(":SOURCE:VOLTAGE 1")
. If quotes are needed in
the SCPI command, use single quotes or use
'\'
as an escape character. For example, send one of
the following commands to execute the SCPI command
:SENSE:FUNCTION "VOLT:DC"
:
Execute2400(":sens:func 'VOLT:DC'")
Execute2400(":sens:func \"VOLT:DC\"")
To return back to the Model 2400 emulation mode, send the
Engine2400()
command. After
returning to the Model 2400 emulation mode, you must execute a
*RST
before running any further
commands.
