Chapter 2 — GPIB Overview
The MT8852B Bluetooth Test Set can be operated remotely through a General Purpose
Interface Bus (GPIB) connection to a host computer. The MT8852B conforms to the
IEEE488.1 and IEEE488.2 standards.
2-1 Requirements when using GPIB
A GPIB card, cable, and the associated control software are required to communicate with the
MT8852B over the GPIB bus.
2-2 Syntax
The following rules must be adhered to when sending GPIB commands to the instrument.
1. An ASCII space must be present between the command mnemonic and the first
parameter.
2. All subsequent parameters must be separated by commas (,).
3. Multiple commands may be sent on the same line, but each must be separated by a
semicolon (;).
The conventions used are detailed in the table below.
Table 2- 1 . GPIB Syntax Rules
Item Meaning
The parameters or characters within the angled brackets must be present.
< >
ws
[ ]
,
;
Throughout this document the angled brackets are employed merely as a
convention to help users interpret the commands. They must not be included in the
command string when issuing commands over GPIB.
White space character.
Optional parameters. Do not include the square brackets in the command string.
Parameter separator. All GPIB commands having more than one parameter must
use the comma (,) separator between each parameter.
Message unit terminator. A GPIB command message can be made up of a
number of command units separated by the semicolon, as seen in the following
example.
COMMAND param1a,param1b;COMMAND2 param2a
The mnemonics and all the parameters can use either upper or lower case
characters unless specified otherwise.
2-1
GPIB Overview
2-3 Termination
All commands sent over the GPIB interface to the MT8852B must be terminated with either
(or both) of the following:
End Of String (EOS): The ‘\n’ or 0x0A character.
End Of message Indicator (EOI): A hardware line on the GPIB interface bus.
2-4 Suffixes
Parameters containing floating-point values can use the E-0x convention or a suffix
multiplier. The GPIB unit conventions specified by the IEEE have been implemented for the
suffix units and multipliers. The suffix unit is always allowed but is not required and is
shown in brackets where appropriate.
The following table lists the numeric suffixes for the MT8852B Bluetooth Test Set. Suffix
units are optional and can be omitted.

GPIB 488.2 Registers
2-5 GPIB 488.2 Registers
The following diagram shows the GPIB event and status registers. The meaning of each bit is
described below.
Status Byte Register and Service Request Enable Register
Figure 2-1. Status Byte and Service Request Enable Registers
Table 2- 3 . STB and SRE Bit Definitions
RQS/MSS When the Status byte is read via a Serial Poll operation this bit is RQS (Request
Service). When the Status byte is read via the *STB? Command this bit is MSS
(Master Summary Status). This bit has no function in the Service Request Enable
Register.
(Request service) This bit is set when one of the other bits in the status byte is set
and the corresponding bit in the Service Request Enable Register (SRE) has been
set. When this bit is set an SRQ is indicated over the GPIB interface. The SRQ is
cleared by a serial poll, the status byte returned to the controller and the bit that
caused the SRQ is cleared.
(Master Summary Status) This bit is the inclusive OR of the bitwise combination
(excluding bit 6) of the Status Byte register and the Service Request Enable
register. Note that the *STB? Command does not alter the Status byte, nor will it
clear an SRQ.
2-3
GPIB Overview
Tab le 2-4.
ESB (Event status bit) When a bit is set in the event register and the corresponding bit
has been set in the event status enable register (ESE) the ESB bit in the status
register is set.
MAV (Message available) This bit is always set when there is data available to be read
out from the output buffer and it is cleared when the output buffer is empty.
CHG (Change indication) This bit is cleared at power ON initialisation, following a serial
poll, or upon sending the *CLS command. This bit is set when one of the change
bits has been set and the corresponding bit in the change status enable (CHE)
register has been set.
EPS (EUT Power Status) This bit is cleared at power ON initialisation or upon sending
the *CLS command. This bit is set when the EUT power matches the maximum or
minimum power. Use the status command to read whether max or min was
reached.
ETF (Equipment Test Fail) This bit is cleared at power ON initialisation or upon sending
*CLS. This bit is set to indicate a test failure if the following conditions apply: One of
the tests has failed (the instrument will set the appropriate bit in the ETF or EETF
registers) and the appropriate bit within the ETE or EETE registers has been
enabled by the user prior to running the test. See definitions of the ETF, EETF,
ETE, EETE in this manual for more details.
INS (Instrument status) This bit is cleared on initialisation and when the *CLS command
has been sent. This bit is set when one of the instrument status bits has been set
and the corresponding bit in the instrument status enable (INE) register has been
set.
Note
The Status Byte register is read via a Serial Poll or with the *STB? Command. It
cannot be written to directly by the user. The Service Request Enable Register is
written to with the *SRE command and read with the *SRE? Command. It is
cleared by *CLS.

PON Power On bit. This bit is set on power up of the device only and cleared if the
instrument is reset or receives a *CLS command. This bit only indicates that a power
on has occurred.

EUT Fail Register and Fail Enable Register
Figure 2-3. UET Fail and Fail Enable Registers
This EUT register is cleared on the start of a test or script. When a test completes, if it has
failed the test limit parameters enabled to give a fail result the corresponding bit in this
register is set. These events can be programmed to provide an SRQ by setting the
corresponding bit(s) in the Equipment Under Test Fail Enable Register (ETE).

The EDR EETF Test Fail register is cleared at the start of a test or script. If an EDR test
fails any of the test limits applied, the appropriate bit within the EETF register is set (e.g. if
the EDR Sensitivity test fails, the EBS bit is set to '1'). To program the GPIB to provide an
SRQ event upon failure of any of the EDR tests, the appropriate bit(s) must be set within the
EDR EETE Fail Enable register.

GPIB Overview
2-6 GPIB over RS232
Version 1.1 or above of the control software supports the use of RS232 in addition to GPIB
commands. Use the RS232 connector on the rear panel of the unit.
Hardware handshake CTS and RTS lines are used to control the flow of data in and out of the
tester and must be available in the cable as hardware handshaking is always enabled. The
RS232 cable used between the COM port on the PC and the connector on the rear of the
MT8852B must be of a Null Modem type such as that supplied with the MT8852B itself.
The DTR and DSR lines are connected together within the tester.
The MT8852B Bluetooth test set’s serial connector pin-outs are:
Table 2-12. Serial Connector Pin Outputs
Pin Signal
1 NOT USED
2Rx Data
3Tx Data
4 DTR handshake signal
5 Signal ground
6 DSR handshake signal
7 RTS handshake signal
8 CTS handshake signal
9 NOT USED
The serial interface baud rate can be set using the MT8852B “System Interfaces” menu under
the menu. Available baud rates are; 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 19200, 38400,
57600, and 115200. The other RS232 parameters are predefined as 8 bits, no parity and 1
stop bit and cannot be changed.
Commands are entered in the same manner as the GPIB interface, conforming to the GPIB
command format. All GPIB commands are supported. There are some additional commands,
specific to the serial interface that are prefixed with an exclamation mark (!). All GPIB type
commands and command strings should be terminated with a new line character (0A hex).
The special serial mode commands do NOT require a termination character.
Requested data is returned in the same format as GPIB, but with a preceding 'R' and a
terminating new line character.
SRQs are available, and are output as an SRQ message 'S' followed by a terminating new line
character. When the SRQ message has been received, an "!SPL" command (equivalent to the
GPIB serial poll) can be issued. The tester will respond with the serial poll data message,
which is a single character, proceeded by 'P' and terminated by a new line character.
A device clear message !DCL can be sent to clear the tester input and output message queues,
and terminate any GPIB or serial actions pending.
