6 Controlling the Source Remotely You can control the CD/PMD Analyzer Source remotely either by: ³ a GPIB interface (through a GPIB cable connected to the GPIB port) or ³ an RS-232 interface (through a serial cable connected to the serial port). GPIB port Serial port (RS-232 DTE) Fuse holder Serial Port GPIB IEEE 488.2 R C MODEL: GO LR107723 US 100-240 V 50/60 Hz 2A F2AL250 V Power inlet SH1, AH1, T6, L4, SR1, RL1, PP0, DC1, DT1, C0, E2 This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Controlling the Source Remotely The RS-232 connector (serial port) at the back of the CD/PMD Analyzer Source uses a DTE pinout configuration. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Pin Number Description Direction 2 Receive (Rx) Input 3 Transmit (Tx) Output 5 Signal ground (Gnd) — The commands used in both protocols are the same and are summarized in two reference tables: ³ Common GPIB commands are listed in IEEE 488.2 Commands—Quick Reference table on page 59.

To set a remote command mode: 1. Press the Setup key. 2. Use the up/down or left/right arrow keys to select RS232 / GPIB. The current setting is displayed. Note: If GPIB is currently selected and you want to specify a GPIB address, see Setting the GPIB Address on page 24.
Controlling the Source Remotely Setting the GPIB Address Setting the GPIB Address If GPIB is selected as the remote command mode, you can select the GPIB address you want to use from 1 to 30 (default value is 12). To set a GPIB address: 1. Press the Setup key. 2. Use the up/down or left/right arrow keys to select GPIB Addr. The current GPIB address is displayed. Note: If you are in RS-232 mode, the GPIB address cell will display N.A. You must change the communication mode to GPIB before setting an address.
Controlling the Source Remotely Setting the Baud Rate Setting the Baud Rate The baud rate is a parameter related to RS-232 communication. It determines the speed at which data is sent between the unit and a computer, in bits per second (bps). To change the baud rate for your remote communications: 1. Press the Setup key. 2. Use the up/down or left/right arrow keys to select Baud Rate. The current setting is displayed. Refresh Rate 8 Hz RS232 / GPIB RS232 Backlight ON GPIB Addr. N.A.

This parameter determines the type of serial communication used. Choose Soft if you want the speed of data transmission to match the speed at which the device can process it. This enables the computer and the CD/PMD Analyzer Source to stop each other from transmitting by sending a control character (Xoff).
Controlling the Source Remotely Communication Parameters Communication Parameters The communication parameters are used to set the communication port. Note: EOS means “End of String.” EOI means “End or Identify.
Controlling the Source Remotely Standard Status Data Structure Standard Status Data Structure The four tables below give information on the common status and enable registers as defined by IEEE 488.2. The diagram displayed on page 31 is a useful aid in understanding the general commands and how a service request (SRQ) is generated.

Controlling the Source Remotely Standard Status Data Structure An SRQ is forced when a bit in the status byte register goes from 0 to 1 and the corresponding SRE mask bit is set. If an SRQ is forced, the RQS bit is set to 1 and will remain there until read by a serial poll –even if the reason or condition causing the service request no longer exists. Similarly, if a serial poll reads the RQS, it is reset to 0, whether or not the condition causing the service request still exists.
Controlling the Source Remotely Command Structure Command Structure The GPIB and RS-232 commands follow the guidelines determined by the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) consortium. For example, the following command syntax is used to activate or deactivate the source. SOUR:POW[:STAT] ³ SOUR, POW and STAT are keywords that define the function of the command. ³ [ ³ indicates that a space is required ("wsp" stands for "white space").
Controlling the Source Remotely Error Messages Format Error Messages Format System and device specific errors are managed by the FLS-5834A CD/PMD Analyzer Source. The generic format for error messages is illustrated in the following figure. , “ ; ” As shown in the above figure, the message contains three parts: ³ Error number ³ Error description ³ Device dependent information All error messages are stacked in a FIFO buffer.
7 Maintenance To help ensure long, trouble-free operation: ³ Always clean fiber-optic connectors before using them. ³ Keep the unit free of dust. ³ Clean the unit casing and front panel with a cloth slightly dampened with water. ³ Store unit at room temperature in a clean and dry area.

Remote Control Commands Product-Specific Commands—Quick Reference Product-Specific Commands—Quick Reference The table below summarizes commands specific to the CD/PMD Analyzer Source.
Remote Control Commands Product-Specific Commands-Description Product-Specific Commands-Description DISPlay:BRIGhtness Description This command turns the backlight of the unit on or off. Syntax DISP:BRIG|MINimum|MAXimum Parameters A numeric parameter: “1”–turns the backlight on “0”–turns the backlight off Example DISP:BRIG 1 DISPLAY:BRIGHTNESS 0 DISPlay:BRIGhtness? Description This command returns the state of the backlight.
Remote Control Commands Product-Specific Commands-Description SOURce:POWer[:STATe] Description This command turns on or off the source. When the source is on, the red LED on the front of the module illuminates. Syntax SOUR:POW[:STAT]|ON|OFF Parameters A boolean parameter: “1”–turns the source on “0”–turns the source off Example SOUR:POW:STAT 1 (turns the source on.) SOURCE:POWER 0 (turns the source off.
Remote Control Commands Product-Specific Commands-Description SYSTem:ERRor? Description This command returns the next error in the error queue. When an error is generated, an error number is sent to the error queue. The error queue is accessed with the SYST:ERR? query. Syntax SYST:ERR? Response See SCPI-Based Errors on page 85. SYSTem:VERSion? Description This query reads the CD/PMD Analyzer Source identification string. 84 Syntax SYST:VERS? Response “EXFO E.-O. Eng. FLS-5834A vx.
D SCPI-Based Errors Error Number -100 Description “Command error” Probable Cause A command error has occurred. This is the generic syntax error for devices that cannot detect more specific errors. -104 “Data type error” The parser recognized a data element different than the one allowed. -108 “Parameter not allowed” More parameters were received than expected for the header. -109 “Missing parameter” Fewer parameters were received than expected for the header.
SCPI-Based Errors Error Number Description Probable Cause -224 “Illegal parameter value” An exact value from a list of possibilities was expected. -300 “Device-specific error” A device-dependent error occurred. This is the generic syntax error for devices that cannot detect more specific errors. -321 “Out of memory” An internal operation needed more memory than was available. -350 “Queue overflow” A specific code entered into the queue in lieu of the code that caused the error.
