The 8210A-2-5 currently supports up to 4 attenuator groups, each of which allow up to 32 physical or virtual 

attenuators. During the setup process, the user assigns a name to the group, and lists the attenuators that comprise 
the group, which may be stored in the8210A-2-5’s non-volatile EEPROM memory for future use. During the power-up 
configuration process, the 8210A-2-5 will automatically recall and assign these group associations. 

7-6.  THE VIRTUAL SWITCH.

  The Virtual Switch capabilities allow the user a convenient method of controlling 

devices such as RF switches by specifying the switch control line connections and operational mode via the193-8015 
8-Channel Relay Output card. Outputs from the card may be divided into logical groups of from one to eight control 
signals.  Each group is assigned a user-definable name, and maybe controlled separately from the other groups.  This 
would allow the user to connect, say 8 SPDT RF switches to the Relay Output card, and control each switch 
independently without having to keep track of each switch’s individual position. Another feature, which is useful for 
multi-line control applications, is the ability to specify whether the control signals in the group operate in an encoded 
or decoded fashion.  For example, a SP3T switch typically requires 3 individual control signals, only one of which may 
be active at a time. These three control signals provide up to8 different programming codes from 000b to 111b, many 
of which are actually invalid settings in this application.  By operating in Decoded mode, the virtual switch will only 
activate one output at a time, allowing the user to specify position 1, 2, or3 when programming.  

The 8210A-2-5 supports up to 32 Virtual Switch devices, each of which can support up to a maximum of 16 

output signals. The Virtual Switch uses the Switch Protocol command set. During the setup process, the user assigns 
a name to the virtual switch, which may be stored in the 8210A-2-5’s non-volatile EEPROM memory for future use. 
During the power-up configuration process, the8210A-2-5 will automatically recall and assign these virtual devices. 

7-7.  STATUS REPORTING. 

  The 8210 implements the 488.2 Status Reporting Structure, which utilizes the 

IEEE488.1 status byte with additional data structures and rules. The Status Byte Register can be read with either a 
serial poll (IEEE-488 operation only)  or the *STB? common query command. The Service Request Enable Register 
allows the user to select which bits in the Status Byte Register may cause service requests. A bit value of one 
indicates that the corresponding event is enabled, while a bit value of zero disables an event. The Service Request 
Enable Register may be accessed with the *SRE and *SRE? common commands. The Status Byte Register may be 
cleared with the *CLS common command, with the exception of the MAV bit, which is controlled by the operation of 
the Output Queue.

Description 

 

6 

RQS 

Request Service:  This bit, if set, indicates that the device is asserting the 

  

SRQ 

signal. 

 

5 

ESB 

Event Status Bit: This bit is true when an enabled event in the Event Status 

 

 

Register is true. 

 

4 

MAV 

Message Available:  This bit is true when there is valid data available in the 

  

output 

queue. 

 

The Standard Event Status Register is used to report various IEEE488.2-defined events. The register 

contents may be accessed with the *ESR? command. An Event Status Enable Register allows the user to select 
which bits in the ESR that will be reflected in the ESB summary message bit of the Status Byte Register. The Event 
Status Enable Register may be accessed with the *ESE and*ESE? common commands. The Event Status Register is 
cleared by an *ESR? query or *CLS common command.
