For Safety 1
WARNING
--
1. ALWAYS refer to the operation manual when working near locations at
which the alert mark shown onthe left is attached. If the operation, etc.,
A
is performed without heeding the advice in the operation manual, there
is a risk of personal injury. Inaddition, the equipment performance may
be reduced.
Moreover, this alert mark is sometimes used with other marks and de-
scriptions indicating other dangers.
2. When supplying power to this equipment, connect the accessory 3-pin
power cord to a 3-pingrounded power outlet.
If a grounded 3-pinoutlet
is not available, before supplying power to the equipment, use a conver-
or
sion adapter and ground the green wire, or connect the frame ground on
the rear panel of the equipment to ground. If power is supplied withcut
grounding the equipment, there is a risk of receiving a severe or fatal
electric shock.
3. This equipment cannot be repaired by the user. DO NOT attempt to
open the cabinet or to disassemble internal parts. Only Anritsu-trained
Repair
service personnelor staff from your sales repr.esentative with a knowl-
edge of electrical fire and shock hazards should service this equipment.
There are high-voltage parts in this equipment presenting a risk of se-
vere injury or fatal electric shock to untrained personnel. In addition.
there is a risk of damage to precision parts.
4. This equipment should be used in the correct position. If the cabinet is
Falling Over
turned on its side, etc.,it will be unstable and may be damaged if it falls
over as a result of receiving a slight mechanical shock.

5. DO NOT short the battery terminals and never attempt to disassemble it
Battery Fluid
or dispose of it in a fire. Ifthe battery is damaged by any of these ac-
tions, the battery fluid may leak.
This fluid is poisonous.
DO NOT touch it, ingest it, or get in your eyes. If it is accidentally in-
gested, spit it out immediately, rinse your mouth with water and seek
medical help. If it enters your eyes accidentally, do not rub your eyes,
irrigate them with clean running water and seek medical help. If the
liquid gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off carefully and thoroughly.
LCD
6. This instrument uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD); DO NOT subject
the instrument to excessive force or drop it. If the LCD is subjected to
strong mechanical shock, it may break and liquid may leak.
This liquid is very caustic and poisonous.
DO NOTtouch it, ingest it, or get in your eyes. If it is ingested acciden-
tally, spit it out immediately, rinse your mouth with water and seek medi-
cal help.
If it enters your eyes accidentally, do not rub your eyes, irrigate
them with clean running water and seek medical help.
If the liquid gets
on your skin or clothes, wash it off carefully and thoroughly.

For Safety
CAUTION
Changing Fuse
Cleaning
Changing memory
back-up battery
Disposing the batteries
1. Before changing the fuses, ALWAYS remove the power cord from the
poweroutlet and replace the blown fuses. ALWAYS use new fuses of
the type and rating specified on the fuse marking on the rear panel of the
cabinet.
T _-A indicates a time-lag fuse
There is risk of receiving a fatal electric shoc~if the fuses are replaced
with the power cord connected.
2. Keep the power supply and cooling fan free of dust.
Cleanthe power inlet regularly. If dust accumulates aroundthe power
pins, there is a risk of fire.
Keep the cooling fan clean so that the ventilation holes are not ob-
structed. If the ventilation is obstructed. the cabinet may overheat
and catch fire.
3. Use two or more people to lift and move this equipment. or use a trolley.
There is a risk of back injury, if this equipment is lified by one person.
4. This equipment uses a lithium battery to back-upthe memory. This bat-
tery must be replacedby a servlce engineer when it has reachedthe end
of its useful life; contact the Anritsu sales section or your nearest repre-
sentative.
NOTE:
The battery used in this equ~pmenthas a maximum useful life
of 7 years. It should be changed before this period has
elapsed.
5. The main unit of the MP1777A uses lithium batteries. When d~sposingof
the batteries, make sure to conform with the local regulation.

2.3 Bus Commands
Bus commands refer to internal interface communications exchanged when the bus is set to the command mode (when the
ATM line is set at "L"). The table below shows a list of bus commands.
Table 2-4 Details of Bus Commands
Bus Command Operations
DCL (Device clear) Initializes the exchange of messages among all the devices connected to the
GPIB
bus.
SDC (Selected Device Clear) Initializes the exchange of messages among addressed devices. The operations are
the same as those for DCL.
GET (Group Execute Trigger) Performs the same operations as those triggered when the Start/Stop key is pressed
IFC (Interface Clear) Init~allzesthe ~nterface.
