Chapter 4 Before Programming
4.1 Messages 1
Blocks of message data are transferred between the controller and this instrument during
2
communications.Messages sent from the controller to this instrument are called program
messages, and messages sent back from this instrument to the controller are called
response messages.
If a program message contains a query command, i.e.a command which requests a 3
response, this instrument returns a response message. A single response message is
always returned in reply to a program message.
Program Messages
4
Program Message Unit
Before Programming
A program message consists of one or more programmessage units; each unit
corresponds to one command. This instrument executes commands one by one 5
according to the order in which they are received.
Program message units are delimited by a ";.
"For a description of the format of the program message unit, refer to the explanation
given furtherbelow. App
Example "$2VJSF"7&3BHF.0%&)*3&'-&$5*0/5*.&"6501.5
Index
Unit Unit
<PMT>
PMT is a terminator used to terminate each program message. The following three types
of terminator are available.
NL (New Line)
Same as LF (Line Feed). ASCII code"0AH" is used.
^END
END message defined in IEEE488.1. (EOI signal)
(The data byte sent with an END message will be the final item of the program
message unit.)
NL^END
NL with an END message attached(NL is not included in the program message unit.)
<Program Header>
A program header is used to indicate the command type. For details, refer to page 4-3.
<Program Data>
If certain conditions are required for the execution of a command, program data must
be added. Program data must be separated from the header by a space (ASCII code
"20H"). If multiple items of program data are included, they must be separated by a ","
(comma). For details, refer to page 4-5.
Example "$2VJSF"7&3BHF.0%&)*3&'-&$5*0/1.5
Header Data
IM 735020-17E 4-1
4.1 Messages
Response Messages
<Response Message Units>
A response message consists of one or more response message units: each response
message unit corresponds to one response.Response message units are delimited by a ";"
(semicolon).
Example "$2VJSF"7&3BHF.0%&)*3&'-&$5*0/5*.&"6501.5
Unit Unit
<RMT>
RMT is the terminator used for every responsemessage. Only one type of response
message isavailable; NL^END.
<Response Header>
A response header sometimes precedes the response data. Response data must be
separated from the header by a space. For details, refer to page 4-5.
<Response Data>
Response data is used to define a response. If multiple items of response data are used,
they must be separated by a "," (comma). For details, refer to page 4-5.
Data Header Data
If a program message contains more than one query, responses are made in the same
order as the queries. Normally, each query returns only one response message unit,
but there are some queries which return more than one response message unit. The
first response message unit always responds to the first query, but it is not always true
that the 'n'th unit always responds to the 'n'th query. Therefore, if you want to make sure
that a response is made to eachquery, the program message must be divided up into
individual messages.

4.2 Commands 1
There are two types of command (program header)which can be sent from the controller
2
to this instrument. They differ in the format of their program headers.
Before Programming
Compound header
Compound Header Commands designed to be used only with this instrument are
5
classified and arranged in a hierarchy according to their function. The format of a
compound header is below. A colon (:) must be used when specifying a lower-level
header. App

4.2 Commands
4-4 IM 735020-17E
4.2 Commands
Upper-level Query 1
An upper-level query is a compound header to which aquestion mark is appended.
Execution of an upper-level query allows all a groups settings to be output atonce.
Some query groups comprising more than threehierarchical levels can output all their
lower level settings.
2
Example
:ANALysis:THReshold?<PMT>
->:ANAL:THR:EOF 3.0;FERL 40.0;FESL 1.00;RLOS 70.0 3
;SLOS 0.03
Note
In reply to a query, a response can be returned as a program message to this instrument. 4
Transmitting a response can restore the settings made when the query was executed.
Not all a groups information will necessarily be sent out as a response. Some upper-
Before Programming
levelqueries will not return setup data which is not currently in use.
5
Header Interpretation Rules
This instrument interprets the header receivedaccording to the following rules.
Mnemonics are not case sensitive. App
Example
"DRANge" can also be written as"drange" or "Drange."
If the header ends with a question mark, the command is a query. It is not possible to
omit the question mark.
Example
"DRANge?" cannot be abbreviated to anything shorter than "DRAN?."
Note
A mnemonic is a character string made up of alphanumeric characters.)
IM 735020-17E 4-5
4.3 Response
Form
On receiving a query from the controller, this instrument returns a response message to
the controller. A response message is sent in one of the following two forms.
Abbreviated Form
Normally, the lowercase part is removed from are sponse header before the response
is returned to the controller. Naturally, the full form of the header canalso be used. For
this, the
"COMMunicate:VERBose" command is used. The part enclosed by [ ] is also omitted in
the abbreviatedform.
4-6 IM 735020-17E
4.4 Data 1
A data section comes after the header. A space must be included between the header
2
and the data. The data contains conditions and values. Data is classified as below.
Data Description
<Decimal> Value expressed as a decimal number 3
(Example: Average time -> ACQuire:AVERage:TIME 60)
<Distance><Time> Physical value
<Wavelength><Loss> (Example: Distance range -> ACQuire:DRANge 500)
<Register> Register value expressed as either binary,octal, decimalor hexadecimal 4
(Example: Extended event register value -> STATus:EESE #HFE)
<Character data> Specified character string (mnemonic). Can be selected from { }
Before Programming
(Example: Setup mode
-> ACQuire:SETTing{SIMPLE|DETAIL|WIZARD|MULTI}) 5
<Boolean> Indicates ON/OFF. Set to ON or OFF
(Example: Fault event display -> ANALysis:FEDetection ON)
<Character string data> Arbitrary character string
(Example: Comment to be saved App
-> FILE:SAVe:COMMent "ABCDEF")
<Filename> Gives the name of a file.
(Example: Name of file to be saved
-> FILE:SAVE:WAVeform:NAME "CASE1") Index
<Block data> Arbitrary 8-bit data
(Example: Response to acquired waveform data
-> #800000010ABCDEFGHIJ)
<Decimal>
<Decimal> indicates a value expressed as a decimalnumber, as shown in the table
below. Decimal valuesare given in the NR form specified in ANSI X3. 42-1975.
Symbol Description Example
<NR1> Integer 125 1 +1000
<NR2> Fixed point number 125.0 .90 +001.
<NR3> Floating point number 125.0E+0 9E1 +.1E4
<NRf> Any of the forms <NR1> to <NR3> is allowed.
Decimal values which are sent from the controller tothis instrument can be sent in any
of the forms to<NR3>. In this case, <NRf> appears.
For response messages which are returned from this instrument to the controller,
the form (<NR1> to<NR3> to be used) is determined by the query. Thesame form is
used, irrespective of whether the valueis large or small.
In the case of <NR3>, the "+" after the "E" can be omitted, but the "" cannot.
If a value outside the setting range is entered, the value will be normalized so that it is
just inside the range.
If the value has more than the significant number of digits, the value will be rounded.
IM 735020-17E 4-7
4.4 Data
Form Example
<NRf><Multiplier><Unit> 0.85UM
<NRf><Unit> 500m
<NRf><Multiplier> 5M
<NRf> 5E -3
<Multiplier>
Multipliers which can be used are shown below.
<Unit>
Units which can be used are shown below.
4-8 IM 735020-17E
4.4 Data
<Register> 1
<Register> indicates an integer, and can be expressed in hexadecimal, octal, or binary
as well as a decimal number. <Register> is used when each bit of a value has a
particular meaning. <Register> is expressed in one of the following forms.
2
Form Example
<NRf> 1
#H<Hexadecimal value made up of the digits 0 to 9, and A to F>
#Q<Octal value made up of the digits 0 to 7>
#H0F
#Q777
3
#B<Binary value made up of the digits 0 and 1> #B001100
4
<Register> is not case sensitive.
Response messages are always expressed as<NR1>.
Before Programming
<Character Data> 5
<Character data> is a specified string of character data(a mnemonic). It is mainly used
to indicate options,and is chosen from the character strings given in { }.
For interpretation rules, refer to Header Interpretation Rules on page 4-4.
App
Form Example
{SIMPLE|DETAIL|WIZARD|MULTI} DETAIL
Index
As with a header, the "COMMunicate:VERBose"command can be used to return a
response message in its full form. Alternatively, the abbreviated form can be used.
The "COMMunicate:HEADer" command does not affect <character data>.
<Boolean>
<Boolean> is data which indicates ON or OFF, and is expressed in one of the following
forms.
Form Example
{ON|OFF|<NRf>} ON OFF 1 0
When <Boolean> is expressed in <NRf> form, OFF is selected if the rounded integer
value is "0" and ON is selected if the rounded integer is "Not 0."
A response message is always "1" if the value is ON and "0" if it is OFF.
IM 735020-17E 4-9
4.4 Data
<Filename>
Gives the name of a file. The format is as follows.
Form Example
{<NRf>|<Character data>|<Character string>} 1 CASE "CASE"
If you input an <NRf> value, the system converts the value (after rounding to the
nearest integer) to the corresponding 8-character ASCII string. (If you set the value to
1, the name becomes "00000001".) Note that negative values are not allowed.
The first 12 characters of <Character Data> are assigned as the file name.
The first 14 characters of <Character String Data> are assigned as the file name.
Response messages always return filenames as <character string> arguments.
<Block Data>
<Block data> is arbitrary 8-bit data. <Block data> is only used for response messages.
Response messages are expressed in the following form.
Form Example
#N<N-digit decimal value><Data byte string> #800000010ABCDEFGHIJ
#N
Indicates that the data is <Block data>. "N" is an ASCII character string number (digits)
which indicates the number of data bytes that follow.
<N-digits decimal value>
Indicates the number of bytes of data. (Example:00000010=10 bytes)
<Data byte string>
The actual data. (Example: ABCDEFGHIJ)
Data is comprised of 8-bit values (0 to 255). This means that the ASCII code "0AH,"
which stands for "NL," can also be a code used for data. Hence,care must be taken
when programming thecontroller.

4.5 Synchronization with the Controller 1
Achieving Synchronization
If you send the following program message when receiving averaging measurement
2
data, the data may be retrieved before the completion of the measurement.

In such case, the following method must be used to synchronize with the end of the
acquisition.
Before Programming
register.
Whether averaging measurement waveforms are being retrieved can be determined by
reading bit 1 of the condition register.
5
If bit 1 of the condition register is "1", waveforms are being retrieved. Otherwise, it is
stopped.(Bit 1 is "0".)
App
Note
For details on the condition register, see section 5.4, "Condition Register."
