INFICON STM-100/MF Thin Film Deposition Monitor - Manual (Page 61)

The following is a list of commands that are sent by the STM-100 / MF
caused by an error condition in the protocol.
Message Error Cause
F9, F1 Unrecognized Device ID error. SECS header has device ID which does not
correspond to that set by internal DIP switch.
S9, F3 Unrecognized stream code. SECS header contains stream ID not understood
by STM-100 / MF.
S9, F5 Unrecognized function code. SECS header contains function ID not valid or
understood in conjunction with the header's
stream code.
S9, F7 Illegal data Format of data for valid stream / function not
correct.
S9, F11 Data too long.
Message Details
a) S1,F1: Structure: Header only. As per SECS E5.
b) S1,F2: Structure: as per SECS E5. MDLN is 6 character ASCII "STM100".
SOFTREV is 2 character ASCII numeric "B2". Future versions will be
incremental in decimal radix (07,08,09,10,11,..).
c) S9,F1: Structure: as per SECS E5.
d) S9,F3: Structure: as per SECS E5.
e) S9,F5: Structure: as per SECS E5.
f) S9,F7: Structure: as per SECS E5.
g) S9,F11: Structure: as per SECS E5.
h) S64,F65: Define: SYCONQCMD SYCON protocol query/command ASCII
message. Format is 20. ASCII data contents is any SYCON message as
detailed in the following RS-232 specification.
Structure: <SYCONQCMD>
i) S64,F66: Define: SYCONRSP SYCON protocol response ASCII message.
Format is 20. ASCII data contents is any SYCON response message as
detailed in the following RS-232 specification.
Structure: <SYCONRSP>
IEEE-488 INTERFACE OPTION
This is a parallel interface that is compatible with many different types of
electronic instrumentation. It is a multi-drop interface that allows one controller
and many slaves. You will generally find that IEEE-488 is the easiest computer
interface to get running. The only thing that you need to set is the device address.
The address is set on the CONFIGURATION switch (numbers 8 through 12).
Table 2.2 contains IEEE-488, SECS, and BITBUS address codes. Make sure that
every device on the network has a different address. Figure 5.3 is a program that
runs on an HP-85 computer. It allows you to type commands in and see the
response. This program assumes the address of the STM-100 / MF is set to 0.
