Message Communication and System Functions
Protocols
Protocol Overview
The oscilloscope and computer communicate using program messages and
response messages. These messages serve as the containers into which sets of
program commands or oscilloscope responses are placed.
A program message is sent by the computer to the oscilloscope, and a response
message is sent from the oscilloscope to the computer in response to a query
message. A query message is defined as being a program message that contains
one or more queries. The oscilloscope will only talk when it has received a valid
query message, and therefore has something to say. The computer should only
attempt to read a response after sending a complete query message, but before
sending another program message.
Protocol Operation
When you turn the oscilloscope on, the input buffer and output queue are
cleared, and the parser is reset to the root level of the command tree.
The oscilloscope and the computer communicate by exchanging complete
program messages and response messages. This means that the computer
should always terminate a program message before attempting to read a
response. The oscilloscope will terminate response messages except during a
hard copy output.
After you send a query message, the next message should be the response
message. The computer should always read the complete response message
associated with a query message before sending another program message to
the same oscilloscope.
The oscilloscope allows the computer to send multiple queries in one query
message. This is called sending a “compound query.” Multiple queries in a
query message are separated by semicolons. The responses to each of the
queries in a compound query will also be separated by semicolons.
Commands are executed in the order they are received.
Protocol Exceptions
If an error occurs during the information exchange, the exchange may not be
completed in a normal manner.
Remember this Rule of Oscilloscope Communication
The basic rule to remember is that the oscilloscope will only talk when prompted to,
and it then expects to talk before being told to do something else.
