1 Introduction

This manual is for Power Meter models PW3335(-01, -02, -03,-04).

Messages are provided in the interface to control the Power Meter.

There are two types of messages: program messages that are sent from the controller (such as a computer) to the

Power Meter and response messages that are sent from the Power Meter to the controller.

There are also execution confirmation messages for synchronization with the controller in the RS-232C interface.

Message types are further categorized as follows. Command Messages

Program Messages Query Messages

Messages Response Messages

Execution Confirmation Messages

When issuing commands that contain data, make sure that the data is provided in the specified format.

When connecting via LAN, connect to TCP/IP port 3300.

During communication the Power Meter will enter the Remote state and the REMOTE Indicator on the unit will

turn ON.

When this occurs, all operation keys except for SHIFT(EXIT/LOCAL) will be disabled.

However, if the Power Meter is in the Local Lock Out state via GP-IB (GP-IB command LLO:Local Lock Out ->

P.11), the SHIFT(EXIT/LOCAL) Key will also be disabled. If this occurs, execute the GTL (Go To Local)

interface function or turn the Power Meter OFF and ON again to return to the Local state.

If the Power Meter enters the Remote state when on the settings screen, it will automatically change to the

measurement display.

Message Format

Program Messages

Program messages can be either Command Messages or Query Messages.

(1) Command Messages

Instructions to control the instrument, such as to change settings or reset

Example: Instruction to set the voltage range.

:VOLTAGE:RANGE 300

Header portion Space Data portion

(2) Query Messages

Requests for responses relating to results of operation or

measurement, or the state of instrument settings

Example: Request for the current measurement range

:VOLTAGE:RANGE?

Header portion Question mark

See: "Headers (p. 2)", "Separators (p. 3)", "Data Formats (p.4)"

Response Messages

When a query message is received, its syntax is checked and a response message is generated.-

The :HEADer command determines whether headers are prefixed to response messages.

HeaderON :VOLTAGE:RANGE 300

Header OFF 300

(The current voltage range is 300 V.)

At power-on, Header ON is selected.

If an error occurs when a query message is received, no response message is generated for that query.

Command Syntax

Command names are chosen to mnemonically represent their function, and can be abbreviated. The full

command name is called the “long form”, and the abbreviated name is called the “short form”. The

command references in this manual indicate the short form in upper-case letters, extended to the long form

in lower case letters, although the commands are not case-sensitive in actual usage.

DISPLAY? OK ( long form

)

DISP? OK ( short form

)

DISPL? Error

DIS? Error

Response messages generated by the instrument are in long form and in upper case letters.

Headers

Headers must always be prefixed to program messages.

(1) Command Program Headers

There are three types of commands: Simple, Compound, and Standard.

• Headers for Simple Commands

This header type is a sequence of letters and digits.

:ESE0

• Headers for Compound Commands

These headers consist of multiple simple command type headers separated by colons ":".

:VOLTage:RANGE

PW3335A985-01

• Headers for Standard Commands

This header type begins with an asterisk "*", indicating that it is a standard command defined by IEEE 488.2.

*RST

(2) Query Program Header

These commands are used to query the instrument about the results of operations, measured values, and the

current states of instrument settings.

As shown in the following examples, a query is formed by appending a question mark ?after a program header.

:HOLD?

:VOLTage:RANGe?

Characters within square brackets [ ] may be omitted.

Either form is valid

:MEASure[:NORMAL]:VALue? :MEASure:VALue?

Message Terminators

The instrument recognizes the following message terminators (delimiters):

•

EOI

•

with an EOI

•

Depending on the instrument's interface settings, the following can be selected as the terminator for response

messages.

For information on settings, see "Terminator Setting" (p. 111).

•

with an EOI

•

with an EOI (default)

•

LF (default)

Separators

(1) Message Unit Separator

Multiple messages can be written in one line by separating them with semicolons ";".

:VOLTage:RANGe 300;:AVERaging 10

•When messages are combined in this way and if one command contains an error, all subsequent messages

up to the next terminator will be ignored.

(2) Header Separator

In a message consisting of both a header and data, the header is separated from the data by a space

“ ” (ASCII code 20H).

: VOLTage: RANGe 300

(3) Data Separator

In a message containing multiple data items, commas are required to separate the data items from one another.

:MEASure? U, I

PW3335A985-01

Data Formats

The instrument uses character data, decimal numeric data and character string data depending on the command.

(1) Character Data

Character data always begins with an alphabetic character, and subsequent characters may be either

alphabetic or numeric. Character data is not case-sensitive, although response messages from the instrument

are only upper case. When the command data portion contains <1/0/ON/OFF>, the operation will be the same

as when 0 is OFF and 1 is ON.

:HEADER OFF

(2) Decimal Numeric Data

Three formats are used for numeric data: NR1, NR2 and NR3. Numeric values may be signed or unsigned.

Unsigned numeric values are handled as positive values. Values exceeding the precision handled by the

instrument are rounded to the nearest valid digit or truncated.

•NR1 Integer data (e.g.: +12, -23, 34)

•NR2 Fixed-point data (e.g.: +1.23, -23.45, 3.456)

•NR3 Floating-point exponential representation data (e.g.: +1.0E-2, -2.3E+4)

The term “NRf format” includes all three of the above numeric decimal formats.

The instrument accepts NRf format data. The format of response data is specified for each command, and the

data is sent in that format.

:AVERAGING 10

The instrument does not completely support IEEE 488.2. Use referenced data whenever possible.

Also be careful not to overflow the input buffer or output queue with a single command.

Compound Command Header Omission

When several commands having a common header are combined to form a compound command (for

example, :VOLTage:AUTO and :VOLTage:RANGe), if they are written together in sequence, the common portion

(here, :VOLTage:) can be omitted after its initial occurrence.

This common portion is called the “current path” (analogous to the path concept in computer file storage), and until

it is cleared, the interpretation of subsequent commands presumes that they share the same common portion.

This usage of the current path is shown in the following example:

Full expression

:VOLTage:AUTO OFF;:VOLTage:RANGe 300

Compacted expression

:VOLTage:AUTO OFF;RANGe300

The current path allows you to abbreviate the next command.

The current path is cleared when the power is turned on, when reset by key input, by a colon “:” at the start of

a command, and when a message terminator is detected.

Standard command messages can be executed regardless of the current path. They have no effect upon the

current path.

A colon “:” is not required at the start of the header of a Simple or Compound command. However, to avoid

confusion with abbreviated forms and operating mistakes, we recommend always placing a colon at the start of

a header.

PW3335A985-01

Output Queue and Input Buffer

Output Queue

Response messages are stored in the output queue until read by the controller. The output queue is also cleared

in the following circumstances:

• Power on

• Device clear

• Query error

The output queue capacity of the instrument is 4,096 bytes. If response messages overflow the buffer, a query

error is generated and the output queue is cleared.

Input Buffer

The input buffer capacity of the instrument is 1,024 bytes.

If 1,024 bytes are allowed to accumulate in this buffer so that it becomes full, the GP-IB interface bus enters the

waiting state until space is cleared in the buffer.

The RS-232C and LAN interfaces will not accept data beyond 1,024 bytes.

Note: Ensure that the length of a single line never exceeds 1,024 bytes.

PW3335A985-01

Status Byte Register

The instrument uses the status model defined by the IEEE 488.2 standard for items related to serial polling

via the service request function.

Events are what trigger service requests.

(SRER)

Overview of Service Request Occurrence

The Status Byte Register contains information about the event registers and the output queue.

Required items are selected from this information by masking with the Service Request Enable

When any bit selected by the mask is set, bit 6 (MSS; the Master Summary Status) of the Status Byte

request.

SRQs (Service Requests) can be used only with the GP-IB interface.

However, SRER setting (*SRE?) and STB read (*STB?) queries can be used even with the RS-232C

and LAN interfaces.

PW3335A985-01

Status Byte Register (STB)

During serial polling, the contents of the 8-bit Status Byte Register are sent from the instrument to the controller.

When any Status Byte Register bit enabled by the Service Request Enable Register has switched from 0 to 1, the

MSS bit becomes 1. Consequently, the SRQ bit is set to 1, and a service request is dispatched.

The SRQ bit is always synchronous with service requests, and is read and simultaneously cleared during serial

polling. Although the MSS bit is only read by an *STB? query, it is not cleared until a clear event is initiated by the

*CLS command.

Setting a bit of this register to 1 enables the corresponding bit of the

Status Byte Register to be used.

PW3335A985-01

Event Registers

Standard Event Status Register (SESR)

The Standard Event Status Register is an 8-bit register.

If any bit in the Standard Event Status Register is set to 1(after masking by the Standard Event Status Enable

See: “Standard Event Status Enable Register (SESER)”(p.

)

The Standard Event Status Register is cleared in the following situations:

•When a *CLS command is executed

• When an event register query

(

*ESR?

)

is executed

• When the instrument is powered on

Bit 7

PON

This bit is set to 1 when a received command contains a syntactic or semantic

error:

•Program header error

•Incorrect number of data parameters

•Invalid parameter format

•Received a command not supported by the instrument

Bit 4

EXE

Execution Error

This bit is set to 1 when a received command cannot be executed for some

reason.

•The specified data value is outside of the set range

•The specified data cannot be set (data format discrepancy)

•Execution is prevented by some other operation being performed

Bit 3

DDE

Device-dependent Error

This bit is set to 1 when a command cannot be executed due to some reason

other than a command error, a query error or an execution error.

•An internal error occurred and execution cannot be performed (error

displayed)

•A command was received that cannot be executed during a restricted

operation (integration, hold, etc.)

•When "o.r",”S.Err”or ”-----“occurs and the error data is read by a *MEASure?

query.

Bit 2

QYE

Query Error (the output queue is cleared)

This bit is set to 1 when a query error is detected by the output queue control.

•When an attempt is made to read the output queue when the output queue is

empty (GP-IB only)

•When the data overflows the output queue

•When the next command is received while there is data in the output queue

•When there is a query after a *IDN? on the same line.

Device-specific Event Status Registers (ESR0, and ESR1)

This instrument provides four Event Status Registers for controlling events.

Each event register is an 8-bit register.

When any bit in one of these Event Status Registers enabled by its corresponding Event Status Enable Register

is set to 1, the following happens:

•For Event Status Register 0, bit 0 (ESB0) of the Status Byte Register (STB) is set to 1.

•For Event Status Register 1, bit 1 (ESB1) of the Status Byte Register (STB) is set to 1.

Event Status Registers 0 through 1 are cleared in the following situations:

•When a *CLS command is executed

•When an Event Status Register query (:ESR0?, or :ESR1?) is executed

• When the instrument is powered on

PW3335A985-01

Command Execution Time

Command execution time indicates the time for analyzing and processing long form commands.

However, the command execution time for commands with data is the time described according to the data format

specified in the <data portion>, and for query commands it is the time when the header is ON.

The instrument performs measurements, calculations, and updates the display repeatedly in 200 ms cycles.

Measurements and calculations are given priority over command processing, and require a maximum of 150

ms. Therefore, a maximum delay of 150 ms may be encountered from the time a command is received until

analysis begins.

• Updating the display may be delayed if the analysis processing is not completed in time, even if the internal

processing time is met.

• All commands are sequential.

• When communicating with a controller, the time required to transfer the data must be added.

The amount of time required for the data transfer depends on the controller (communications).

The RS-232C transfer time for a starting bit, data length of 8, no parity bit, and a stop bit (10 bits total) with a baud

rate setting of N bps is calculated as follows:

Transfer Time T [1 character/second] = Baud Rate N [bps] / 10 [bits]

The measurement value is 11 characters so the time required to transfer one piece of data would be 11/T.

(Example) 9600 bps: 11 / (9600 / 10) = 11 ms (approximately)

• Wait a few moments after making any changes via setting commands to allow the measurements to stabilize.

Errors During Communications

An error occurs when messages are executed in the following cases:

• Command Error

When message syntax (spelling) is invalid

When the data format in a command or query is invalid

• Query Error

When the response message exceeds 4,000 bytes

When there is a query after an *IDN? query

• Execution Error

When invalid character or numeric data is present

• Device-dependent Error

When an error occurs during self-testing

When a restricted operation (such as changing the range) is attempted during an integration operation (when the

INTEGRATOR indicator is lit or flashing)

When a restricted operation (such as changing the range) is attempted during the Hold state

When the *TRG command is executed in any state other than the Hold state

Note:

A command error will always occur if a message is spelled incorrectly or if any data is present after a query.

When an error occurs with a query, no response message will be generated for that query.
