11.1 Serial Interface Functions and Specifications
This instrument is equipped with a serial (RS-232-C) interface in accordance with your
preference. This interface permits remote control from a controller such as a personal
computer, and output of various data.
Overview of the Serial Interface
The table below shows functions that are available in each mode.
Mode Function
Normal mode Reception Functions performed by key operations (except for LOCAL
key and power ON/OFF) measured and computed data
output request setting parameters output request error code
output request
Transmission measured and computed data output setting parameters
output error code output status byte output
Talk-only mode Transmission measured and computed data output
Normal Mode
This mode is equivalent to the the addressable mode of the GP-IB function, and
enables reception of commands and transmission of data. Measured data is output
on reception of the “OD” command.
488.2 Mode
This mode allows receiving of commands conforming to the IEEE St’d 488.2-1992
protocol.
Talk-only Mode
This mode is equivalent to the Talk-only mode of the GP-IB function. Only measured
data can be output and commands cannot be received.
Print Mode
This mode is useful when harmonic analysis data are output to the external plotter or
external printer. For details, refer to section 9.9.
