Interfacing the XMP 2600 The GPIB interface 1 Interfacing the XMP 2600 The XMP 2600 has two types of interfaces used for remotely controlling it: a GPIB (IEEE 488) Interface and a Serial (RS232) Interface. The two interfaces differ only in the communication hardware and protocol. Input and Output Queues, Command and Query Parsing and Execution are identical no matter which interface is being used to remotely control the XMP 2600. The XMP 2600 has two remote controlling modes. Unless o

How to communicate with the XMP 2600 Usage Guidelines To use this synchronization feature properly, you must follow each message sent to the XMP 2600 with a read operation, reading one character and verifying its value (6). Recovering from communication halts If, for some reason, communication with the XMP 2600 halts, use one of the following methods to clear the XMP’s input and output queues and reestablish communication: 1. Press the front panel LOCAL button. 2. Send a GPIB bus DCL (Dev

Usage Guidelines Recommendations on using the XMP 2600 Starting a session Issue a CLR or RESET command (and wait for 15 seconds) when you start using the XMP 2600. This will ensure that the XMP 2600 is in a known state, ready for you to program it. When queries are not used If you do not use queries often (see bellow) in your program, send commands in small groups (no more than 4 per second). Use delays to spread commands over time, if necessary. This way you can make sure you will not
