End Detection under RS232
The end of a transmitted or received message is designated with a line feed character
"LF" in RS232 data transmission.
Configuring the IEEE-488 Interface
The device address and the terminator character of the messages (ASCII strings) are
of importance for programing and data transmission in communication between the
control computer and the 5017. The IEEE address can be assigned by the user, but the
terminator is fixed and defined by the 488.2 standard.
Setting the IEEE-488, Device Address
The device address is set via the menu "Device, Interface, IEEE488" (see chapter
"Manual Operation") and can be saved in the power-up status.
The device address set in the factory is 7.
End Detection in the IEEE-488, Message Transmission
When operating with the IEEE488 interface, the standard string terminators are used
for reception and transmission of messages (ASCII strings), namely "LF+EOI". "LF"
stands for "Line Feed" and "EOI" designates an interface line which is set by
hardware control.
Define the Command Set
Different command sets can be selected. In this way the 5017 can replace the DMMs
6047/6048 and 6001/5001/4001 and work with the same software.
Please chapter ‘Compatibility’ for special remarks and restrictions of the
compatibility.
