Trig Out: Allows an instrument to output a negative-going pulse to indicate the occurrence of some event such as closing a channel on a Switchbox Instrument. The signal levels are standard TTL (0V to 5V). This pulse can be used to synchronize external equipment to the instrument (see Chapter 5 for examples). You direct the pulse from the appropriate instrument to the Trig Out port using the OUTP:STAT ON command. Pacer Out: Allows you to output a square wave signal to trigger or pace external e

1 Instrument SCPI-compatible plug-in modules installed in the mainframe are treated as independent instruments each having a unique secondary GPIB address. As Definition shown in Figure 1-3, each instrument is assigned a dedicated error queue, input and output buffers, status registers and, if applicable, dedicated mainframe memory space for readings or data. An instrument may be composed of a single plug-in module (such as a counter) or multiple plug-in modules (for a Switchbox or Scanning Vo

Instrument Logical Instruments are identified by a logical address which directly relates to its GPIB secondary address. Instruments come from the factory with a preset logical Addresses address. You can change the factory setting during installation (see the "Agilent 75000 Series B Installation and Getting Started Guide" for instructions). A single-module instrument must have its logical address set to an integer multiple of 8 (0, 8, 16, 24, ... 240). In a multiple-module instrument, only one

Example: Reading the Time This program reads and prints the time from the System Instrument’s internal clock. The computer used in the example is an Agilent Series 200/300 computer with Agilent BASIC as the program language. The computer interfaces to the mainframe using the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB). The GPIB interface select code is 7, the GPIB primary address is 09, and the GPIB secondary address is 00 (System Instrument). Resulting in a combined address of 70900. 10 OUTPUT 70900;"
