Controlling the TOS6200
This chapter describes the procedure for using the TOS9200/TOS9201 to control
Kikusui’s earth continuity tester TOS6200 via the RS-232C interface.
This control function is used to recall and execute the test conditions stored in the
TOS6200’s memory by executing the TOS9200/TOS9201 program.
For details on the RS-232C interface, see the Operation Manual for the GPIB and
RS-232C Interfaces separately available.
• The GPIB interface cannot be used to control the TOS6200 with the TOS9200/
TOS9201.
During control of the TOS6200, the TOS9200/TOS9201 cannot be controlled
using the GPIB interface.
