14.7 APP-007 IEEE-488 Interface Option
The IEEE488 mode is selected using the STI 5000 Series Software (PCW).
 Use the STI 5000 Series Software (PCW) “Runtime->Tester Control” menu selection and the
click the “IEEE Remote” button. The STI 5000 Series Tester display should indicate “IEEE-
488”

Once the IEEE Mode has been selected, the STI Tester will respond to commands (see
below for commands accepted) from the IEEE controller only (Local Lockout). The STI 5000
Series Tester will return the default RS232
Mode on power up and from the “RS232”
command.
STI IEEE488 implementation

Low level talker/listener (poll mode)
IEEE488 Command Structure

Transmit a test program (developed via STI Windows PCW) to the STI Tester
o
Command -
“Sz:xxxxx”
o
z - Multiplex Station ( 0 indicates non-multiplex )

xxxxx - test program size in bytes

example:
“S0:28000”
o
Returns - nothing
o
Must be a valid STI test program (.T60). If a valid program, the STI 5000 Series
Tester display will indicate “PROGRAM RECEIVED” other was it will indicate
“INVALID PROGRAM”.

Execute an STI Go-NoGo sequence.
o
Command -
“Tz:GNG”

z - Multiplex Station ( 0 indicates non-multiplex )

example:
“T0:GNG”
o
Returns - nothing
o
Data format after start:
 “SORT xx BIN yy” where xx is the Sort number (1-99) and yy is the Bin (1-16)
and/or “FAIL” or “(EOP)” or “(EOF)” or “(KELVIN)”

Execute an STI Datalog sequence.
o
Command -
“Tz:DTA”

z - Multiplex Station ( 0 indicates non-multiplex )

example
“T0:DTA”
o
Returns - nothing
o
Data format after start:

Header -
“S/N- xxxxxxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyy”
xxxxxx - Serial Number (up to 32 characters)
yyyyyy - Test program name (up to 8 characters)

Test -
“uTvvv; wwwwww x yyyyyzz” (for each test step)
u -
„ „ or „*‟ where „*‟ indicates test failed
yyy - test step number
wwwwww - test name
x -
„=‟ or „<‟ or „>‟
yyyyy - test result
zz -
multiplier („p‟, „n‟, „u‟, „m‟) and type („V‟ ,„A‟ or „ „)

Footer -
“BIN xxxx” where xxxx is the valid Bin (1-16) and/or “FAIL”
or “(EOP)” or “(EOF)” or “(KELVIN)”

Note: The header part is transmitted shortly after the start test is initiated, the
test part is transmitted after completion of each individual test in the test
program sequence and then the footer part is transmitted after completion of
all tests in the test program sequence. The amount of time between each of
these parts is variable.

Execute an STI Single Test Pass/Fail
