REMOTE INTERFACE
REMOTE INTERFACE FOR MODEL AD30 AND PYROELECTRIC JOULEMETER INDICATOR MODELS
S200 AND D200P, D200PC, D200C
These units have two remote interface options: RS232, or IEEE488.
Units with one or both of these options may be operated remotely via the interface selected. The remote
interface language is compatible with the IEEE488.2 standard, and provides complete access to all
instrument functions.
FRONT PANEL REMOTE INTERFACE SELECTION
If your instrument has only one remote interface, you will not need to select which interface to use. If it has
both interfaces, only one may be active at any given time. As it comes from the factory, the unit will power up
with the RS232 interface active. You can change the active interface from RS232 to IEEE488 or back using
the front panel procedure described below:
Press the FUNCTION button.
If you have dual channel indicator, you will be presented with a menu consisting of alternate groups of
function choices. Select the group which includes the REMOTE annunciator. The display will begin to flash
the sequence RS232....IEEE. Press the SELECT button when the name of the desired interface is present.
If you chose the RS232 interface, you may then go ahead and select RS232 setup options, or press cancel to
return to the idle menu state. If you chose the IEEE interface, you have the option of entering the desired
IEEE bus address, or pressing CANCEL to return to the menu idle state.
If you have an S200 (single channel pyro) or an AD30 (single channel calorimeter, the function menu will
consist of a series of single choices, one of which is the word REMOTE. The display will begin to flash the
sequence RS232....IEEE. Press the SELECT button when the name of the desired interface is present. If
you chose the RS232 interface, you may then go ahead and select RS232 setup options, or press cancel to
return to the idle menu state. If you chose the IEEE interface, you have the option of entering the desired
IEEE bus address, or pressing CANCEL to return to the menu idle state.
NOTE: The act of choosing either the RS232 or the IEEE488 interface makes that the active remote
interface. It remains the active interface until the next time the *RCL 0 command or the *RST command is
executed or the instrument is powered up. To make the interface selection permanent, press the SAVE
button after selecting the interface.
