5.1.3 GPIB
GPIB is optional. It can be used only when the load has installed GPIB communication module
and the relevant driver has installed on the computer. Use GPIB cable to connect the load to a
computer correctly. Select the GPIB interface in the MENU, and set GPIB address. Each instrument
you connect to the GPIB interface has a unique address assigned to it. Input the right SCPI command
to operate the load.
5.2 Flow Control Selection
When RS232 interface is used, the flow control can be enabled or disabled. The load provides
two options: ON and OFF. ON: enabling the flow control; OFF: disabling the flow control. When
“OFF” is selected for flow control, the lower baut rate should be set to ensure normal communication.
5.3 Remote Control Annunciators
There is a REM annunciator on the front panel of the load. When the load receives the remote
command (SYSTem:REMote) via RS232 or GPIB interface, the REM annunnciator turns on. And the
load enters remote control status. In this status, all operations on the load are controlled by the remote
controller; the front panel keypad and knob has no effect (except
key +
key). The REM
remote control annunciator turns off and the load returns to the local control after receiving the
command to return to local control (e.g. SYSTem:LOCal). Or you can return the load to local control
from remote control by pressing
key +
key.
5.4 Sending a Remote Command
You can use the computer to set operation mode and operation parameters remotely for the load.
5.5 Returning Data
The load can return the values of parameter settings, input voltage and current, as well as input
power to computer. It can also return information relating to the internal operation and module
identification. For example: the query command ( “MEAS:CURR?”) asks the load to return the
actual current at the Input binding posts. Please refer to “ARRAY 372x Series Electronic Load
SCPI Programming Guide” for detailed information on using query commands. The load stores the
response to the query in an output buffer which will hold the information until it is read by the
computer or is replaced with new information.
5.6 Remote Programming Commands
The SCPI commands have many optional key words for the programmer. Getting familiar with
those key words will help you to know the programming better. Most of the commands have a query
syntax which allows the present parameter settings to be returned to the controller. Please refer to
“ARRAY 372x Series Electronic Load SCPI Programming Guide” for details. The load` s major
functions can be programmed with a relatively few number of these commands. The following points
are important to remember when you are remotely programming CC, CR, CV, and CP values.
