Models 2510 and 2510-AT User’s Manual
Remote Operations
6-3
The RS-232 interface is a serial interface. Programmable aspects of this interface include
the following (factory default settings are shown in parentheses):
•
Baud rate (9600)
•
Data bits (8)
•
Parity (none)
•
Terminator (CR)
•
Flow control (none)
An interface is selected and configured from the COMMUNICATION option of the Main
Menu (see
). For details on the programmable aspects of the inter-
faces, see
“RS-232 interface operation,” page 6-6
NOTE
When changing interface selections, the Model 2510 performs a power-on reset.
To check and/or change options of the selected interface, you must re-enter the
menu structure.
GPIB operation
This section contains information about GPIB standards, bus connections, and primary
address options. See
for more GPIB information.
GPIB standards
The GPIB is the IEEE-488 instrumentation data bus with hardware and programming
standards originally adopted by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers)
in 1975. The Model 2510 conforms to these standards:
•
IEEE-488.1-1987
•
IEEE-488.2-1992
The above standards define a syntax for sending data to and from instruments, how an
instrument interprets this data, what registers should exist to record the state of the instru-
ment, and a group of common commands. The Model 2510 also conforms to this standard:
•
SCPI 1996.0 (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments)
This standard defines a command language protocol. It goes one step farther than
IEEE-488.2-1992 and defines a standard set of commands to control every programmable
aspect of an instrument.
