The Display Layout
The following figure details the display layout when two measurement
windows are displayed, one analog and one digital. However it is possible
using the
key to display just one measurement window.
1. The status reporting line displays five fields, three associated with
either GP-IB, RS232 or RS422 status and two associated with
error and warning conditions. The first field displays either “RMT”
(remote, GP-IB, RS232 or RS422 operation) or “LCL” (local, front
panel operation).
For GP-IB operation, the second field displays “TLK” if the power
meter is addressed to talk or “LSN” if it is addressed to listen. The
third field indicates an “SRQ” (service request).
For RS232 and RS422 operation, the second field displays “RX”
when data is being received. The third field displays “TX” when the
power meter is transmitting data.
The fourth field indicates “ERR” for any error conditions. The last
field is used to report error and warning messages.
2. The measurement data is displayed in either one or two
