Z5623A Option H01
Operation
Operation
The Z5623A Option H01 is a “slave” instrument: a controller must be used to control the test
set. The controller can control the test set using GPIB commands via the GPIB connector.
Commands
The only way to control the test set is to address the Option H01 test set directly over GPIB
using a controller to write directly to the test set's GPIB port. The following example assumes
that the address of the test set is 12.
OUTPUT 712;"command$"
If using Quick Basic or Visual Basic, be sure to disable EOI and EOL before sending commands
to the test set. Including the semicolon will not ensure that these commands are disabled as
would be the case in HP Basic/RMB. Using the Keysight 82335 GPIB Interface and Visual Basic,
the following commands will disable the EOI and EOL, send the necessary data to the test set,
and re-enable EOI and EOL. Be sure to re-enable the EOI and EOL before sending data to
another instrument.
HpibEoi(hHpib;7,0) 'disable EOI
HpibEol(hHpib;7,"",0) 'disable EOL
HpibOutput(hHpib;712,chr$([D])) 'send command to test set
HpibEol(hHpib;7,chr$(13)+chr$(10),2) 're-enable EOL and set
to'chr$(13)+chr$(10)
HpibEoi(hHpib;7,1,) 're-enable EOI
where hHpib specifies the handle returned by HpibOpen.
For more information on the EOI and EOL commands, refer to the programming library manual
supplied with the Keysight 82335 interface.
