Introduction Introduction Introduction This chapter explains how to program the instrument. The programming syntax conforms to the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation and to the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI). This edition of the manual doc- uments all 86100-series software revisions up through A.04.10. For a listing of commands that are new or revised for software revisions A.04.00 and A.04.10, refer to “New and Revised Commands” on

Introduction Introduction Figure 1-1. Sample Data Processing The sample data is stored in the channel memory for further processing before being dis- played. The time it takes for the sample data to be displayed depends on the number of post processes you have selected. Averaging your sampled data helps remove any unwanted noise from your waveform. You can store your sample data in the instrument’s waveform memories for use as one of the sources in Math functions, or to visually compare agai

Introduction Starting a Program Starting a Program The commands and syntax for initializing the instrument are listed in Chapter 3, “Common Commands”. Refer to your GPIB manual and programming language reference manual for information on initializing the interface. To make sure the bus and all appropriate interfaces are in a known state, begin every program with an initialization statement. For example, BASIC provides a CLEAR command which clears the interface buffer. When you are using GPI

The DIGITIZE command is a macro that captures data using the acquisition (ACQUIRE) sub- system. When the digitize process is complete, the acquisition is stopped. The captured data can then be measured by the instrument or transferred to the computer for further analysis. The capture

Introduction Multiple Databases Multiple Databases Eye/Mask measurements are based on statistical data that is acquired and stored in the color grade/gray scale database. The color grade/gray scale database consists of all data samples displayed on the display graticule. The measurement algorithms are dependent upon histo- grams derived from the database. This database is internal to the instrument’s applications. The color grade/gray scale database cannot be imported into an external databas

Introduction Files Files When specifying a file name in a remote command, enclose the name in double quotation marks, such as "filename". If you specify a path, the path should be included in the quotation marks. All files stored using remote commands have file name extensions as listed in Table 1-1. You can use the full path name, a relative path name, or no path. If you do not specify an extension when storing a file, or specify an incorrect extension, it will be corrected automatically a

Introduction Status Reporting Status Reporting Almost every program that you write will need to monitor the instrument for its operating status. This includes querying execution or command errors and determining whether or not measurements have been completed. Several status registers and queues are provided to accomplish these tasks. In this section, you’ll learn how to enable and read these registers. � Refer to Figure 1-4 on page 1-14 for an overall status reporting decision chart. � See

Introduction Status Reporting bit 6 as the Request Service (RQS) bit and clears the bit which clears the SRQ interrupt. The *STB? query reads bit 6 as the Master Summary Status (MSS) and does not clear the bit or have any affect on the SRQ interrupt. The value returned is the total bit weights of all of the bits that are set at the present time. Figure 1-2. Status Reporting Decision Chart 1-12

Introduction Status Reporting The use of bit 6 can be confusing. This bit was defined to cover all possible computer inter- faces, including a computer that could not do a serial poll. The important point to remember is that, if you are using an SRQ interrupt to an external computer, the serial poll command clears bit 6. Clearing bit 6 allows the instrument to generate another SRQ interrupt when another enabled event occurs. The only other bit in the Status Byte Register affected by the *STB
