Explanation of communication method 

 

 3.2 

Basic format of read-out command 

 

When the “?” is added to the command letters sent from the host, 8526 transacts it as 
read-out command.    To the read-out command, 8526 adds “

=

parameter” to the command 

letters and transmits it to the host. 

 
 

Command from the host side 

:  Command letters

?

 

 

Response from 8526 to the host 

:  Command letters=parameter 

 

In case of error, 8526 transmits the error code to the host. 

 

Refer to the 

article 5 (P30) Error 

 
 Example 

3.6 

Command 

DLOW?

 

……  Reads out the low limit of leak current   

 

 

 

 

 

of DC withstanding voltage test. 

  

 

Response 

is 

DLOW=5.0mA



 

 

 3.3 

Basic format of setting and operation 

 
 

 

When the “

=

” is added to the letters of setting command from the host side, 8526 

transacts it as setting command. 

 

 

=

” is not necessary for the operation command START and RESET. 

 
 

 

Setting command from the host side 

Command letters

=

 

 

 

Operating command from the host side  : 

Command letters 

 
 

 

Example 3.7  In case of setting command 

 

  Effective 

command 

MODE=AC



 

……

 

Test mode is set to AC withstanding 

 voltage mode. 

 

  Response 

ERROR=0



 

……  When Response Setting is ON. 

 

 

 

Response 

:  No response  …………  When Response Setting is OFF. 

 

 

 

In case of error, the error code is transmitted to the host. 

 
 

 

Example 3.8  In case of operation command 

 

  Effective 

command 

START



 

…………

 

Starts the test. 

 

  Response 

ERROR=0



 

…………

 

When Response Setting is ON. 

 

 

 

Response 

:  No response  ……….....  When Response Setting is OFF. 

 

 

 

In case of error, the error code is transmitted to the host.
