Concise Binary
The same format as verbose binary except that the status byte (byte 3) is not
sent.
Note:
When using the RS232 interface, the SR715/720 must be set to 8 data
bits if the binary data output formats are to be used.
XALL?
The XALL? query returns the value of the major parameter, minor parameter,
and bin number. The three values are returned in the format set by the OUTF
command. The 3 responses are separated by commas in the ASCII formats.
There are no response separators in the binary formats. Because all
necessary status information is sent with the major and minor parameters,
no
status information is sent with the bin number in any format
. The bin
number is a single byte binary integer in the binary
formats (not a 32 bit
floating point number
).
XBIN?
The XBIN? query returns the bin number of the present measurement. If
binning is not active, or if the measurement is invalid, the value 99 will be
returned. In the binary formats the value of the bin number is returned as a
single byte binary integer (
not a 32 bit floating point number
).
XDLT?
The XDLT? query returns the deviation between the major parameter and the
relative value (see the PREL command). If the relative value is zero, or if the
parameter mode is set to AUTO, an error will be generated. The value is
returned in the format set by the OUTF command.
XMAJ?
The XMAJ? query returns the value of the major parameter. The value is
returned in the format set by the OUTF command.
XMIN?
The XMIN? query returns the value of the minor parameter. The value is
returned in the format set by the OUTF command.
XPCT?
The XPCT? query returns the percent deviation between the major parameter
and the nominal value (see the PREL command). If the nominal value is zero,
or if the parameter mode is set to AUTO, an error will be generated. The
value is returned in the format set by the OUTF command.
BINNING COMMANDS
BCLR
The BCLR command clears the nominal values and limits for all of the bins.
The BCLR command also disables binning.
BING(?) {i}
The BING command disables (i=0) and enables (i=1) binning. If no bins are
open, or if the SR715/720 is in AUTO parameter mode, an error will be
generated.
BLIM(?) i,j {,x}
The BLIM command sets the SR715/720's bin limits. If i = 0 the upper limit of
bin j is set to x %. If i = 1 the lower limit of bin j is set to x %. j may range from
0 to 7. The upper limit of a bin must be set before the lower limit, and the
lower limit must be less than or equal to the upper limit. If no lower limit is set,
the SR715/720 will use the negative of the upper limit as the lower limit (the
bin will be symmetrical about the nominal value). The BLIM? i,j query returns
the upper (i=0) or lower (i=1) limit of bin j.
BNOM(?) i {,x}
The BNOM command sets the nominal value of bin i to x. i may range from 0
to 8 (bin 8 is the QDR fail bin). If no nominal value is set for a bin, the
