6. Remote control
Decade box can be controlled via RS232, GPIB, LAN and USB interface. The decade can be only
controlled by one of interfaces at a time. It is therefore necessary to select ans set-up one of the interfaces
using the system menu. All interfaces shares the same commands except following commands, which are
intended only for use with RS232, LAN and USB interface:
SYSTem:LOCal
This command places decade in the “LOCAL” mode.
SYSTem:REMote
This command places decade in the “REMOTE” mode.
SYSTem:RWLock
This command places the decade in the “REMOTE” mode and locks all keys (including
LOCAL key) on front panel.
NOTE: If device is not in REMOTE mode all other commands are ignored by decade (for RS232,
LAN and USB interface). With the exception of Compatible commands which are processed each
time. GPIB interface places device in the “REMOTE” mode automatically by opening the GPIB
interface and therefore these commands are not intended for this interface.

RS232 Interface
The decade box can be controlled via standard RS232 interface.
Following equipment is required:
!
MC642 decade box
!
Personal Computer (or other controlling device) with RS232 port (USB-to-RS232 converter is
also possible)
!
9-pin D-SUB, 3-wire direct (1:1) male/female RS232 cable
The RS232 interface must be selected from decade system menu to be in operation (
SETUP->Interface-
>Active bus
). There is only one RS232 setting accessible from the decade system menu under
SETUP-
>Interface
path:
RS232 Baud rate
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200
Other RS232 parameters are fixed to the following settings:
Number of data bits
8
Number of stop bits
1
Parity
