Consolidated below are the new commands added to the Model 9016 command set, as well as
differences in existing commands, command parameters, or command responses:
Set Module type alias
: w3200 xxxx
See the
‘SET/DO OPTION/FUNCTIONS’
(command ‘
w
’)’ in
Section 3.2
.
Configures the
Model 9116
to report its model type as
Model 9116
or as a
Model 9016 for compatibility with model type sensitive system software.
Set Hardware Trigger Mode
: w320x
See
the
‘SET/DO OPTION/FUNCTIONS’
(command ‘
w
’)’ in
Section 3.2
.
Configures the trigger to response to positive going, negative going, or to
any transition on the trigger input.
Query the Hardware Trigger Mode
: q32
See the
‘READ MODULE STATUS’
(command ‘
q
’)’ in
Section 3.2
.
The
Model 9116
will respond with a 1, 2, or 3 indicating, respectively, that its
trigger is set to respond to a positive going, negative going or to any
transition on the trigger input. The Model 9016 will respond to this command
with an ‘N08’.
Query the Module Hardware Version
: w31
See the
‘READ MODULE STATUS’
(command ‘
q
’)’ in
Section 3.2
.
The
Model 9116
will report the version of hardware present as a floating
point number of the format x.xxxxxx The Model 9016 will respond to this
command with a ‘N08’.
Modifications to existing commands, (See
Section 3.2
):
In the
‘CONFIGURE A HOST DELIVERY STREAM’
(command ‘
c
’), the sync delay
can now be set as small as 2 milliseconds and the granularity is 2 milliseconds with
all other values rounded down to the nearest 2 milliseconds. This value was 10
milliseconds in the Model 9016.
In the Set
Number of A/D Samples to Average,
(command ‘
w
’). the minimum
value and the default value is 4. The interleaved instrumentation amplifiers utilized
in the
Model 9116
allows it to provide the same throughput with one to four
averages. With the quieter electronics of the
Model 9116
and no speed advantage
for lower numbers of averaged samples, the minimum and default is set to four.
Valid values are 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64. Other values below 64 are rounded up to the
next valid value listed above.”
