For Safety

WARNING A

ALWAYS refer to the operation manual when working near locations at which the alert mark shown on the left is attached. If the operation, etc., is performed without heeding the advice in the operation manual, there is a risk of personal injury. In addition, 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-pin grounded power outlet, if a grounded 3-pin outlet

is not available, before supplying power to the equipment, use a conver 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 without

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

Repair

5. DO NOT short the battery terminals and never attempt to disassemble it or dispose of it in a fire. If the 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.

For Safety

CAUTION A

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 shock if the fuses are replaced with the power cord connected.

2. Keep the power supply and cooling fan free of dust.

- Clean the power inlet regularly. If dust accumulates around the 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 lifted by one person.

Disposing the batteries

4. This equipment uses a lithium battery to back-up the memory. This bat tery must be replaced by a service engineer when it has reached the end of its useful life: contact the Anritsu sales section or your nearest repre

sentative. NOTE: The battery used in this equipment has a maximum useful life

of 7 years. It should be changed before this period has elapsed.

2.2 Device Message List

Device iiicssaizes are data nicssaees exchanged betv'.cen thie controller and the device via the system interface when tlie

bus is set to the data mode (when the ATN line is set at "H"). and are classified into two types, the program messages and

response messages.

fhe prrieram messages are ASC.’II data messages transferred from the controller to the de^vice. while the response nies-

saees are tlata messaees transferred from the device to the controller.

2.6.1 Initializing the Bus

IFC: Initialization of the bus by the IFC statement Function: Switches the IFC line into an active state for about 100 |is and initializes the interface function of all the

devices connected to the GPIB bus line. IFC can be transmitted only by the system controller.

2.6.2 Initializing the Message

DCL and SDC: Initialization of the exchange of messages by the DCL and SDC bus commands

Initializes the exchange of messages for all the devices on GPIB or specified devices on GPIB.

Functions: Initialization of the message exchange is aimed at setting preparations to enable the controller to send

new instructions in the event that sections related to the message exchange in devices are set in a state inappropriate for the control to be executed from the controller because, for example, other programs

were executed earlier, although changing the panel setting is not required. DCL: Initializes the message exchange among all the devices on GPIB.

SDC: Initializes the message exchange among specified devices.
