Operating Manual SEFRAM 4451 Section 2 Installation 2.1 Introduction This section contains installation information, power requirements, initial inspection and signal connections for the SEFRAM 4451. 2.2 Initial Mechanical Inspection Upon receipt, inspect the instrument for any damage that might have occurred in transit and verify the contents of the shipment (accessories and installed options). 2.3 Initial Electrical Inspection The SEFRAM 4451 is calibrated and ready for use when received.
Operating Manual SEFRAM 4451 2.6 Grounding Requirements To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. This instrument is grounded through the ground conductor of the supplied, three-conductor ac power cable. The power cable must be plugged into an approved three-conductor electrical outlet. WARNING: Do not alter the ground connection.
Operating Manual SEFRAM 4451 2.7.2 Impedance Matching A mismatch, or different impedance in a transmission line, generates a reflection back along the line to the source. The amplitude and polarity of the reflection are determined by the load impedance in relation to the characteristic impedance of the cable. If the load impedance is higher than the characteristic impedance of the line, the reflection will be of the same polarity as the applied signal.
Operating Manual SEFRAM 4451 For example: to match a 50Ω system to a 125Ω system, Z1 equals 50Ω and Z2 equals 125Ω Therefore: R1 = 125(125 − 50) = 96.8 Ω and R2 = 50 125 = 64.6 Ω 125 − 50 Although the illustrated network provides minimum attenuation, for a purely resistive impedance-matching device, the attenuation as seen from one end does not equal that seen from the other end.
Operating Manual SEFRAM 4451 than the combined rise times of the testing system, determine the actual rise time of the device under test by using the following formula: Rt = (Rt 1) 2 + (Rt 2 ) 2 + (Rt 3) 2 + ...... Rt equals the overall rise time or fall time of the entire measurement system and R1, R2, R3, etc. are the rise times or fall times of the individual components in the system. 2.

Section 4 Programming 4.1 OVERVIEW This section provides detailed information on programming the SEFRAM 4451 via the IEEE 488 bus (GPIB - General Purpose Interface Bus). The SEFRAM 4451 is programmable over the IEEE 488 bus, and its message protocol is compatible with IEEE 488.2. The device command set is compatible with the SCPI 1992.0 standard. The SCPI standard does not cover all the needs of the SEFRAM 4451, and so the standard has been added where necessary.
Operating Manual SEFRAM 4451 Setting the device to address 31 puts it in the 'off-bus' state. In this state it will not respond to messages on the GPIB. If the device is in the REMS when set to address 31, an internal 'returnto-local' command will be given, setting the device to the LOCS. If the device is in the RWLS, the 'return-to-local' command is ignored, and the device remains in the RWLS.
Operating Manual 4.9.1 SEFRAM 4451 General Command Structure The device commands are generally defined by the SCPI standard, with the exception of those instrument functions for which SCPI commands do not as yet exist. The Common Commands and Queries are defined by IEEE 488.2. The command syntax, i.e. how a command is structured, is defined by IEEE 488.2. 4.9.
Operating Manual SEFRAM 4451 The Program Data represent the values of the parameters being set, for example, the '1US' in the above examples. Different forms of program data are accepted, depending on the command. The Program Data types used in the SEFRAM 4451 are as follows: 1. Character program data – This form of data is comprised of a mnemonic made up of lower - or upper-case alpha characters. As with Program Header mnemonics, some Character Data mnemonics have short and long forms.
Operating Manual SEFRAM 4451 SOURCE:FREQUENCY 3KHZ;:OUTPUT:STATE ON Common Commands may be inserted in the Program Message without affecting the instrument-control command reference. For example, SOURCE:VOLTAGE:HIGH 4V;*ESE 255;LOW 2V 4.10 STATUS REPORTING The instrument is capable of reporting status events and errors to the controller, using the IEEE 488.1 Service Request function and the IEEE 488.2 Status Reporting structure. 4.10.
Operating Manual SEFRAM 4451 Bit 3: Device-Specific Error (DDE). This bit is set to indicate that a device operation did not execute due to some device condition. Bit 4: Execution Error (EXE). This bit is set when the device could not execute a command, due to the command being outside of it's capabilities. For example, a parameter being out of range. Bit 5: Command Error (CME). This bit is set to indicate an error in the command syntax. Bit 6: User Request (URQ).
Operating Manual SEFRAM 4451 4.10.5.1 Command Errors A command error is in the range -199 to -100, and indicates that a syntax error was detected. This includes the case of an unrecognized header. The occurrence of a command error causes the CME bit (bit 5) of the Standard Event Status Register to be set.
Operating Manual SEFRAM 4451 A query error indicates that the output queue control has detected a problem. This could occur if either an attempt was made to read data from the instrument if none was available, or when data were lost. Data could be lost when a query causes data to be formatted for the controller to be read, and the controller sends more commands without reading the data.
Operating Manual SEFRAM 4451 4.11.3 Synchronization Commands 4.11.3.1 *OPC - Operation Complete Command The operation complete command causes the device to generate the operation complete message in the Standard Event Status Register, on completion of the selected device operation.
