HP 3325B Remote Operation Command Set
HP 3325B Remote Operation Command Set
The cominaiids for operating the HP 3325B with a computer controller are listed here. Some
of these commands correspond to front-panel keystrokes; the rest are remote-only
commands. Remote commands corresponding to front panel keys are described in Chapter 1.
The
Remote status light, located in the HP-IB Status block on the left side of the front
panel, indicates whether the instrument is currently operating under local (front panel
control) or remote control. Remote operation is accomplished only via commands transmitted
through one of the two interface connectors located on the rear panel.
The Remote indicator on the HP 3325B can be used for a quick operational check
of the remote interface, if you are using the HP-IB interface, refer to the controller
operating manual for a description of the HP-IB Remote message. If you are using
the RS-232 interface, send the RMT command. When this message is sent to the
HP ^25B. the Remote indicator should illuminate. If this does not occur, check the
cabling, the HP 3325B HP-IB address and the syntax of the controller statement (for
HP-IB), or the baud rate, word length and parity settings (for RS-232).
Changing from local control to remote control does not alter the current operating state.
Changii^ from local to remote control may be accomplished by issuing a remote command
such as REMOTE (HP-IB) or RMT (RS-232).
^
Changing the HP 3325B from remote control to local control causes the HP 3325B to return
to front panel control without changing the operating state. This may be accomplished by
either pressing the [Local] key (if local lockout is not in effect), or by issuing a command
remote command such as LOCAL (an HP-IB bus message) or LCL (an RS-232 command).
