SECTION 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Model 705 is a low cost IEEE compatible scanner. The
basic mainframe can accomodate two plug-in scanner cards.
Each card can have different pole configurations. In the l-pole
configuration the card has 20 channels, The 4-pole configura-
tion allows 10 channels with two cards (for four-wire ohms).
Using the “daisy chain” method the Model 705, along with
four additional Model 705’s, can provide up to 100 2-pole
channels. The time and the date are kept internally with a bat-
tery backed up clock allowing time dependent procedures to
be performed,
The controls on the front panel allow opening a selected chan-
nel, closing the channel, scanning between a selectable first
and last channel, selectable scan rate and mode. There are 13
internal programs that are accessible from the front panel. The
programs can select primary address, dwell time, store a relay
set up, recall the stored relay set up, control the digital l/O
port, switch from International to American date format, con-
trol interval stop/start and select I-, 2- or 4 pole measurement
modes.
The Model 705 Scanner adheres to standard IEEE-488 inter-
face bus protocol. This enables the Model 705 to be incor-
porated into any measurement system that uses programmed
control through the IEEE-488 bus.
1.2 FEATURES
The Model 705 Scanner includes the following features:
*IEEE-488 bus operation.
*Selectable scan rate from IOms to 999.999sec.
*Selectable scan modes that allow the operator to scan the
first channel to the last channel once, continuously or
manually.
*Thirteen internal programs that are available through the front
panel.
*Model 705 mainframe can accomodate two scanner plug-in
cards.
aSeveral different scanner relay cards are available as options.
They include: a general purpose relay card; a thermocouple
relay card; a low voltage relay card; and a low current relay
card.
*Time and date are kept with a battery backed up clock.
*Digital I/O port with eight lines as inputs and eight lines as
outputs.

l-l

Model 7055 Quick Disconnect Card-The Model 7055 is
an integral part of the Model 7056 General Purpose Scanner
Card. The Model 7055 is the section of the Model 7056 that
provides the input and output connections. Several Model
7055s can be prewired for particular applications, When that
particular application is required the present Model 7055 can
be replaced with another Model 7055.
Model 7056 General Purpose Scanner Plug-In Card-The
Model 7056 is field installable in the Model 705 Scanner main-
frame. The general purpose card will switch up to 10 2-pole
channels. The card can be used as a voltage scanner, indepen-
dent relay card or a matrix card. The 2-pole switching is ac-
complished in less than 10ms and the expected relay life is 106
closures at the maximum contact ratings. Barrier strips are
used to facilitate input and output connections to the relay
scanner plug-in card. The plug-in card can be easily removed
through the rear panel of the Model 705.
Model 7057 Thermocouple Scanner Plug-In Card-The
Model 7057 is a low voltage scanner card which is field install-
able in the Model 705 scanner mainframe. Since it combines
the functions of a thermocouple scanner and uniform tempera-
ture reference it is especially useful for scanning thermo-
couples. The input terminals are #I10 alloy-copper set in an
isothermal block to minimize temperature differences. A ther-
mistor sensor within the isothermal block is used with a bridge
network on a Model 7057 to give an indication of the
temperature reference or cold junction. The temperature of the
heat sink is used to calculate the corrected thermocouple out-
put. The output voltages of each thermocouple must be con-
verted to temperature (OC or OF) using appropriate thermo-
couple tables or polynomial equations. In addition any channel
may be used to monitor low level signals. The Model 7057
uses two form A contacts for scanning of signals up to 35V
peak or 100mA peak. Input and output connections are made
through the rear panel of the scanner mainframe using #4
screw terminals on the Model 7057.
Model 7058 Low Current Scanner Plug-In Card-The
Model 7058 is field installable in the Model 705 Scanner Main-
frame. The low current card will switch up to 10 l-pole chan-
nels. For optimum low level current switching, the Model 7058
is designed to minimize offset current error (less than I pAI,
while guarding ensures that high isolation is maintained be-
tween input signals. The break-before-make, single pole
switching of the Model 7058 is designed to maintain current
paths for signals not connected to the output, or when internal
jumpers are removed to provide high input resistance for mak-
ing voltage measurements. AC or DC signals up to 28V or
100mA may be scanned. Triaxial input and output connections
to the scanner plug-in card are easily made through the rear
panel of the Model 705 Scanner mainframe.
Model 7059 Low Voltage Plug-In Card-The Model 7059 is
a low voltage scanner plug-in card which is field installable in
the Model 705 Scanner mainframe. The Model 7059 will
switch up to 10 channels. For low level transducer and thermo-
couple output switching the Model 7059 is designed to
minimize thermal error voltage (less than 1p.V with respect to
copper) and ensure that high isolation (10X2) is maintained
between input signals. The break-before-make, 2-pole switch-
ing is accomplished in less than 5ms. Expected relay life (108
closures) is obtained when signals less than IOV or less than
10mA are scanned. However, peak signals up to 200V or
IOOmA may be scanned. Barrier strips are used to facilitate in-
put and output connections to the scanner plug-in card. The
Model 7059 is easily removed through the rear panel of the
Model 705 Scanner mainframe.
Model 7008-3 IEEE-488 Cable-The Model 7008-3 is a three
foot (I meter) IEEE-488 cable. The cable has 24 stranded wire
conductors and is terminated with IEEE-488 standard connec-
tors.
Model 7008-6 IEEE-488 Cable-The Model 7008-6 is a six
foot (2 meter) IEEE-488 cable. The cable has 24 stranded wire

Batten/ BIOI is charging while the unit is on.
Refer to paragraph 5.7.
Immediately after turning on the Model 705 via the power
switch, the display indicates the following for several seconds:
1. This is a display test. The operator can note inoperative
display segments by comparing the Model 705’s display
with the figure above.
2. In addition, the push button and the TALK, LISTEN and
REMOTE indicators turn on. All indicators turn on
simultaneously if operating correctly.
After the test is complete, the Model 705 displays the software
revision level for approximately one second.
After the software revision level is displayed, the Model 705
displays the primary address of the instrument for approx-
imately one second. The primary address of the Model 705 is
factory set at 17.
During the display test the Model 705 performs a digital self
test of the RAM circuitry and a cyclic redundancy check of the
ROM circuitry. If the self test or CRC reveals a problem with
the ROM or RAM circuitry the Model 705 displays a diagnostic
number. This number, and its meaning, is explained in detail in
Section 5.
After all the displays and tests of the power up cycle, the
Model 705 comes up to the default conditions. Refer to Table
2-2 for default conditions.

NOTE
There are two ways to change the specified last
channel, one is to select the desired new channel
and then press the LAST button, the other way is
to activate front panel Program 99 (refer to
paragraph 2.6). Powering the unit down will not
change the specified last channel.
4. The CONTROL group of buttons consist of the RESET but-
ton and the INTERVAL button. The buttons are described
as follows:
A.
B
The RESET button opens all channels of the Model 705
and reverts the display to the specified first channel. The
RESET button is inactive in the time, interval and date
modes. Pressing the RESET button during a Single or
Continuous scan mode sequence stops the scan
mode, opens all the channels, and reverts the display
to the specified first channel.
The INTERVAL button selects the programmed interval
time for display. The inten/al time is the programmed
time each channel is closed when using the single, con-
tinuous, or step scanning modes. The interval time
ranges from 5msec to 999.999sec in 1msec increments.
Upon the actuation of front panel Program 99 the interval
time is reverted to the default condition of 10msec
(displayed as 000.010). Powering the unit down will not
change the programmed interval time. Two ways the in-
terval time can be changed is either, activate front panel
Program 99; (see paragraph 2.6) or press the INTERVAL
button, and then press the appropriate numbers from
000.010 to 999.999 and the ENTER button.
5. The DATA group of buttons consist of the O-9, CANCEL
and ENTER buttons. They are described as follows:
A.
B.
C.
The O-9 data keys allow entry of numerical data onto the
display. The O-9 keys can be used to enter numerical
constants on the display for certain functions such as in-
terval time, channel number, front panel programs, time
and date.
The ENTER button loads the displayed data for the inter-
val time, date and program modes into the Model 705. In
the PRGM mode, the ENTER button initiates the select-
ed program (0, 1,2, 3, 6 or 7) after the necessary data is
entered onto the display. Refer to paragraph 2.6 for infor-
mation concerning the front panel programs.
During the entry of data (c segment cursor is flashing)
the CANCEL button cancels the present display and
reverts the instrument to the previous display. The
CANCEL button is functional only when entering data
onto the display in the interval, time, date and program
modes.

6. The SCAN group of buttons consists of the SINGLE, CON-
TINUOUS and START/STOP buttons. These three buttons
select the different scan modes. The SCAN group of but-
tons are described as follows:
A. The CONTINUOUS button selects the continuous scan
B.

mode. The continuous scan mode allows the user to
scan through the programmed channels at the program-
med interval rate continuously. The continuous scan
mode is initiated upon the actuation of the
START/STOP button or upon receiving the appropriate
external trigger pulse. Pressing the START/STOP but-
ton while the continuous scan mode is running stops the
scan at the presently displayed channel. Pressing the
START/STOP button again starts the continuous scan
at the channel in which it was stopped.
The SINGLE button selects the single scan mode. The
single scan mode allows the user to scan through the
programmed channels at the programmed interval rate
one time. The single scan mode is initiated upon the ac-
tuation of the START/STOP button or upon receiving
the appropriate external trigger pulse. Pressing the
START/STOP button while the single scan mode is run-
ning stops the scan at the presently displayed channel.
Unless interrupted, the single scan mode will scan
through the programmed channels at the programmed
interval rate and then stop at the programmed first chan-
nel.
The START/STOP button is an alternate action control
that has three functions. The three functions are the
START function, the STOP function and the STEP scan
mode. They are described as follows:
a. The start function of the START/STOP button in-
itiates the selected scan mode. When all the para-
meters (interval, time, first and last channels, scan
mode, etc.) of a multichannel configuration have
been programmed and the user is ready to scan the
channels, press the START/STOP button to initiate
the scan. During the scan mode the START/STOP
LED is activated.
b. The stop function of the START/STOP button stops
the previously initiated scan mode. That is, pressing
the START/STOP button during a scan stops the
sequence at the presently displayed channel and turns
off the START/STOP LED. The stop function of the
START/STOP button is active only when a scanning
sequence is scanning.
c. The step scan mode allows the user to manually step
through the programmed channels. The step scan
mode is selected by pressing the channel button, pro-
gramming the interval time and pressing the
START/STOP button. When the interval time has
been programmed and the user is ready to manually
scan the channels, press the START/STOP button to
scan (closed and open channel at the programmed in-
terval time) one channel. Upon initiating the step scan
mode the START/STOP LED turns on, the presently
displayed channel is closed for the programmed inter-
val rate, the channel is opened, the START/STOP
LED turns off and the Model 705 advances to the next
channel. To scan the next channel press the
START/STOP button and the Model 705 will go
through the same sequence.
7. The CLOCK group consists of two buttons that control the
display of the time function and the date function. The clock
continues to run after the instrument is powered down
because the clock’s power circuitn/ is backed up by battery
BTlOl. The two clock buttons are described as follows:
A. The TIME button selects for display the 24 hour time
clock. The format showing 2:45 p.m. is as follows:
I IYYS.UU /
i I
The time can be set by pressing the TIME button, enter-
ing the appropriate time onto the display and then press-
ing the ENTER button.
B. The DATE button selects the date mode for display. The
date display has two formats., The formats showing
Auaust 18th are as follows:
American date format cl0 I8
International date format Ifm3 I
I I
The formats are selected by front panel Program 1. Refer
to paragraph 2.5 6 for information concerning the front
panel programs. The date can be set by pressing the
DATE button, entering the appropriate date onto the
display and then pressing ENTER.
8. The PRGM button when pressed shows a display that pro-
mpts the user to select one of the 13 front panel programs.
Refer to paragraph 2.6 for complete details and examples of
the front panel programs.
9. The IEEE bus indicators (TALK, LISTEN and REMOTE)
identify the present status of the IEEE-488 bus. The in-
dicators are described as follows:
A. The TALK LED when lit indicates that the Model 705 is
in the talk mode. The Model 705 does not have to be in
the remote mode for it to be in the talk mode.
B. The LISTEN LED when lit indicates that the Model 705 is
in the listen mode. The Model 705 must also be in the
remote mode for it to be in the listen mode.
C. The REMOTE LED when lit indicates that the Model 705
is in the remote mode.
2.5.2 Rear Panel Description

2. The EXTERNAL TRIGGER is a BNC connector that initiates
the selected scan mode (single, step or continuous) in the
same manner as the START/STOP button, The input trig-
ger pulse must be a negative going pulse at a TTL level with
a minimum duration of 2+ec. The selected program mode
is initiated upon the negative transition of the pulse. This
feature can be used to trigger the Model 705 into the
selected scan mode using another instrument.
3. CHANNEL READY is a BNC output connector that provides
a negative going TTL level pulse of greater than lO@ec at
the completion of the programmed channel settling time.
This feature can be used to inform another instrument (e.g.
DMM, Source, etc,) that the present channel settling time is
completed.
4. The ALARM/SERIAL IN connector has two functions. The
Alarm out function and the SERIAL IN function. As the
Alarm out function the Model 705 outputs a negative going
TTL level greater than 10pec pulse to the ALARM/SERIAL
IN connector. When the Alarm time is set to 00.00.00 the
pulse does not appear. The SERIAL IN function is used in a
daisy chain configuration where the SERIAL IN connector is
connected to the SERIAL OUT connector of another Model
705. Refer to paragraph 2.5.3 example 4 for more informa-
tion.
5. SERIAL OUT is a BNC output connector that provides con-
nection to another Model 705 for a daisy chain configura-
tion. Refer to Figure 2-3 for a typical daisy chain configura-
tion. The SERIAL OUT connector is applied to the
ALARM/SERIAL IN connector of another Model 705.
6. The Digital I/O port consists of 16 digital input/output lines
along with four lines that are + 5V and IEEE common. Eight
of the I/O lines can be used for inputs and eight can be used
for outputs. This allows the user a limited number of control
lines to the IEEE bus. The outputs will drive one TTL load
and the inputs are TTL compatible. For more information
concerning the digital I/O port refer to paragraph 3.5.8/16.
7. The IEEE bus connector provides bus connection to the
Model 705. The connector mates with the Keithley Model
7008-3 and Model 7008-6 cables. For more detailed infor-
mation concerning the IEEE connector refer to paragraph
3.3.
8. The line power fuse is rated as specified in Table 5-l.
9. The line power receptacle mates with three wire line cord
which provides connections to line voltage. For correct line
voltage selection refer to paragraph 5.3.
2.5.3 Basic Front Panel Operation

Steps 1 through 7 show how to get the Model 705 into a
scanning sequence. The next examples show how to use
the different scan modes, how to daisy chain several Model
705’s for an extended number of channels, and scanning
using different scanner cards,
Example 1 Manual Scan-The Model 705 can be program-
med for the step scan mode, if it is desired to scan through the
programmed channels manually. In the step scan mode the
programmed channels can be scanned (closed for the pro-
grammed interval rate and then opened) one channel at a time.
Upon the actuation of the START/STOP button a single chan-
nel will be scanned. For this example, choose the following
parameters:
1. First channel is 1.
2. Last channel is 10.
3. Interval time is two seconds.
4. Number of poles is two.
5. Use the step scan mode.
Use the following procedure to program the Model 705 for the
preceding parameters:
1. Install the desired scanner card into the Model 705. Refer to
paragraph 2.2.2.
2. Select the appropriate line voltage and turn the Model 705
on. Refer to paragraphs 2.2.1 and 2.3 respectively.
3. Press PRGM, 6, 2, ENTER. For more complete information
refer to paragraph 2.6.7.
4. Press 0, 1, FIRST. (Programs channel 1 as the first channel.)
5. Press 1, 0, LAST. (Programs channel 10 as the last
channel.)
6. Press INTERVAL, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, ENTER. (Programs the in-
terval time for two seconds.)
7. Press CHANNEL, RESET. (Selects the channel mode for
display and resets to the first channel.)
8. Press the START/STOP button to initiate the step scan
mode.
Upon the actuation of the START/STOP button in step 8,
channel 1 is closed and the START/STOP LED is turned on.
Channel 1 remains closed for two seconds (programmed inter-
val rate) and then opens, The START/STOP LED turns off
and the Model 705 advances to the next channel. To scan the
remaining channels press START/STOP button each time a
channel is to be scanned. When the last programmed channel
is scanned, in this example, it goes through the same pro-
cedure as previously stated. The difference is that after the
channel opens up and turns off the START/STOP LED, the
Model 705 resets to the first programmed channel.
To stop the scanning sequence and reset the Model 705 to the
programmed first channel simply press the RESET button.
Example 2 Single Scan-In the Single Scan mode all the
channels are scanned one time. The Scan runs as follows: the
first channel is closed for the programmed interval rate and
then opened. The Model 705 advances to the next channel,
closes it for the programmed interval rate and then opens the
channel. The sequence is repeated up to and including the pro-
grammed last channel, at this point the Model 705 reverts to
the programmed first channel and stops. Upon the actuation
of the START/STOP button all the programmed channels are
scanned at the programmed interval rate. For this example let
us choose the following parameters:
1. First channel is 3.
2. Last channel is 15.
3. Interval time is 0.5 seconds.
4. Number of poles is 2.
5. Use the single scan mode.
Use the following procedure to program the Model 705 for the
preceding parameters:
1. Install the desired scanner card into the Model 705. Refer to
paragraph 2.2.2
2. Select appropriate line voltage and turn the Model 705 on.
Refer to paragraphs 2.2.1 and 2.3 respectively.
3. Press PRGM, 6, 2, ENTER. For more complete details refer
to paragraph 2.6.7.
4. Press 0, 3, FIRST. (Programs channel 3 as the first channel.)
5. Press 1, 5, LAST. (Programs channel 15 as the last
channel.)
6. Press INTERVAL, 0, 0, 0, 5, 0, 0, ENTER (Programs the in-
terval time for 0.5 seconds.)
7. Press CHANNEL, RESET. (Turns on the CHANNEL LED,
selects the channel mode for display and resets to the pro-
grammed first channel.)
8. Press SINGLE. (Selects the single scan mode and turns on
the SINGLE LED.)
9. Press the START/STOP button to inititate the single scan
mode.
Upon the actuation of the START/STOP button in step 9,
channel 3 is closed for 0.5 seconds (programmed interval rate
and the START/STOP LED turns on). Channel 3 is opened
and the Model 705 advances to the next channel. Channel 4 is
closed for 0.5 seconds and then opens. The Model 705 then
advances to channel 5 and the cycle repeats itself until the last
channel is scanned (closed for the programmed interval rate
and then opened). At the end of the scan of the last channel,
the Model 705 resets to the programmed first channel and
turns off the START/STOP LED. At this point the single mode
has been completed.
Pressing the START/STOP button during a single scan stops
the scan at the presently displayed channel. The channel re-
mains closed and turns off the START/STOP LED. To start
the scanning sequence from the presently displayed channel
press the START/STOP button.
To stop the scanning sequence and reset the Model 705 to the
programmed first channel simply press the RESET button.
Example 3 Continuous Scan-In the Continuous scan mode
all the programmed channels are scanned continuously. The
scan runs as follows: the first channel is closed for the pro-
grammed interval rate and then opened. The Model 705 then
advances to the next channel, closes it for the programmed in-
terval rate and then opens the channel. The sequence is
2-8

repeated until the START/STOP button is pressed. Upon ac-
tuation of the START/STOP button all the programmed chan-
nels are scanned continuously at the programmed interval rate.
For this example choose the following parameters:
1. First channel is 5.
2. Last channel is 20.
3. Interval time is one second.
4. Number of poles is 2.
5. Use continuous scan mode.
Use the following procedure to program the Model 705 for the
preceding parameters:
I, Install the desired scanner card into the Model 705. Refer to
paragraph 2.2.2.
2. Select appropriate line voltage and turn the Model 705 on.
Refer to paragraphs 2.2.1 and 2.3 respectively.
3. Press PRGM, 6, 2, ENTER. For more complete details refer
to paragraph 2.6.7.
4. Press 0, 5, FIRST. (Programs channel 5 as the first channel.)
5. Press 2, 0, LAST. (Programs channel 20 as the last
channel.)
6. Press INTERVAL, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, ENTER. (Programs the in-
terval time for one second.)
7. Press CHANNEL, RESET. (Turns on the channel LED,
selects the channel mode for display and resets to the pro-
grammed first channel.)
8. Press CONTINUOUS. (Selects the continuous scan mode
and turns on the continuous LED.)
9. Press the START/STOP button to initiate the continuous
scan mode.
Upon the actuation of the START/STOP button in step 9,
channel 5 is closed for one second (programmed interval rate)
and the START/STOP LED turns on. Channel 5 is then open-
ed and the Model 705 advances to the next channel. Channel 6
closes for one second and then opens. The Model 705 ad-
vances to the next channel and the cycle repeats itself until the
last channel is scanned (closed for the programmed interval
rate and then opened). At the end of the scan of the last chan-
nel, the Model 705 resets to the programmed first channel and
then repeats the scanning sequence.
The scanning sequence can be stopped at any programmed
channel by simply pressing the START/STOP button. Press-
ing the START/STOP button during a continuous scan stops
the scan at the presently displayed channel, the channel re-
mains closed, and turns off the START/STOP LED. To start
the scanning sequence from the presently displayed channel
press the START/STOP button, After the scanning sequence
has stopped, pressing the START/STOP button starts the
sequence from the presently displayed channel and turns on
the START/STOP LED.
To stop the scanning sequence and reset the Model 705 to the
programmed first channel simply press the RESET button.
Example 4 Daisy Chaining-The Model 705 can be connect-
ed to other Model 705’s to increase the number of available
channels. A total of five Model 705’s can be daisy chained
together to increase the number of channels up to a maximum
of 100. Each Model 705 has the capability to support the plug-
in scanner cards. By daisy chaining the Model 705’s together,
there is one instrument designated as the master while the rest
of the Model 705’s are designated as slaves. The Model 705’s
are designated either master or slaves by front panel Programs
91 and 92 respectively. For complete details concerning front
panel programs refer to paragraph 2.6.
In this example the Model 705 will be programmed to scan 60
separate channels, Two additional Model 705 scanner main-
frames are needed to implement this example. The three
Model 705’s must be daisy chained together in order to have
the capability of the 60 2-pole channels. To daisy chain the
Model 705’s, refer to the circuit shown in Figure 2-3.
Each Model 705 will require two scanner cards in order to get
the channels needed for this example. To simplify, use six
Model 7056 general purpose scanner cards and select the
following parameters:
1. First channel is 1.
2. Last channel is 60.
3. Interval time is two seconds.
4. Number of poles is 2.
5. Use continuous scan mode.
Use the following procedure to program the Model 705 for the
preceding parameters:
1. Set up the circuit in Figure 2-3.
2. Install the plug-in scanner cards, two to each Model 705.
Refer to paragraph 2.2.2 for installation instructions.
