6. Set POWER switch to ON.
7. Expose the RTD to a temperature within the
RTD’s specified range (see Specifications in Section
1
).
2-22. RTD Installation
2-23. Use the following procedure when installing an
RTD and conducting temperature measurements:
1. Set POWER switch to OFF.
2. Remove the RTD Input Module from the
instrument (rear panel).
3. Route the selected RTD lines through the Input
Module’s rear access port, and connect them to the
input terminals; depending on the type of RTD,
connections may involve 2, 3, or 4 wires. Refer to
Figure 2-2 as a reference when connecting RTD
lines to the Input Module (TBl). Lines of the same
color usually go to the same polarity connections
(T-V and TS, or -V and -S). Refer to instructions
included with the RTD for specific connection
directions.
NOTE
When 2- or 3~wire RTDs are used, there is
some error created due to the RTD excitation
current in the Sense (S) wire leads. To
minimize this error. The user should (when
possible) use the 4-wire RTD connection as
show in Figure 2-2.
8. The RTD temperature, in the scale selected, is
displayed on the front panel.
NOTE
R2 on the 2180A is adjusted at the factory
with a 100 ohm input resistance. If the 2180A
is used with a 100 ohm 385 Pt RTD probe
meeting DIN standard 443760, then the R2
adjustment in the following paragraph may be
ignored.
9. Adjust R2 on the RTD Input Module to com
pensate for variations in lead resistance and in RTD
probe Ro values. Refer to Section 4 for RTD input
module adjustment procedures. This adjustnieni
must be performed when an RTD probe is initially
installed and whenever the leads or the RTD are
changed.
NOTE
The RTD adjustment can be used to calibrate
the 2180A and the probe near a specific
temperature. Adjust R2 for compatibility
between the 2180A and a customer supplied
temperature reference.

Theory of Operation
3-1. INTRODUCTION
3-2. This section of the manual contains an overall
functional description and a brief circuit analysis of the
2180A Digital Thermometer. Simplified circuit diagrams
are provided, as necessary, to supplement the text.
Detailed schematics are given in Section 8 of this manual.
3-3. The Model 2180A is a single point RTD Digital
Thermometer with 0.1° and .01° resolution for either
degrees F or C. This instrument features dual slope A/D
conversion, microcomputer control logic, and a 5-digit
display with temperature scale indicator. Various RTD
types can be used over a temperature range of -394° F to
1435°F (-219°C to 664°C). Refer to Figure 3-1 for the
following functional description. Mnemonic definitions
are provided in Table 3-1.
3-4. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3-5. The Model 2180A executes a continuous series of
measurement cycles. These cycles, controlled entirely by a
microcomputer, include three major periods: the AutoZero, the Integrate, and the Read periods. During each
period, digital controls are applied to the analog section
of a dual slope converter. The converter in turn generates
a compare output. The configuration of the analog
section during each phase of the measurement cycle is
established by the condition of microcomputer controlled
FET switches.
3-6. The measurement cycle begins with the Auto-Zero
period. During this period, the input to the Buffer
Amplifier is connected to ground through an FET switch
and the accumulated dc offset voltages present in the
analog section are sampled and held by the Auto-Zero
capacitor. This voltage is used later in the measurement
cycle to cancel measurement errors introduced by offset
voltages in the analog circuitry. The final measurement is
therefore proportional to the RTD probe output voltage
and does not include offset errors.
3-7. During the Integrate period, the RTD input voltage
read across the RTD, is applied to the integrator. The
algebraic sum of the AZ and RTD input voltages is
integrated over a 100 ms period. At the end of this period,
the RTD input voltage is removed from the integrator,
and the Read period is started.
3-8. A reference voltage is applied to the integrator
during the Read period, causing the integrator capacitor
to be discharged at a linear rate. When the integrator
output reaches zero, a compare signal is generated to end
the Read period. The duration of the Read period is
translated by the microcomputer, to provide a digital
indication of the RTD temperature.

3-9. CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
3-10. Circuit analysis of the 2180A is discussed in two
sections: digital and analog. The digital section is covered
first; particular attention is paid to digital control of the
analog section. The analysis of the analog section covers
the analog measurement circuitry and the 2180A power
supply.
3-11. Digital Section
3-12. The digital section of the 2180A consists of a
single-chip microcomputer with a self-contained,
programmed, read only memory (U9), a hex CMOS open
drain buffer (U13), and an LED display. This section,
shown in Figure 3-2, will provide the following functions:
1. Conversion of the non-linear RTD probe
voltage, as measured by the analog section, into a
linear digital display.
2. Control of the analog section.
3. Control of all accessories on the accessory bus.
type of RTD. One of the seven operating programs is
selected for the RTD type by setting S1 on the RTD Input
Module. A table showing RTD switch setting numbers
and corresponding RTD types is printed on the RTD
Input Module PCB.
3-14. Measurement data is continuously strobed out of
the microcomputer in decoded-seven-segment, bitparallel, character-serial format. This data is then sent to
the LED display.
3-15. The total measurement cycle takes 300 ms. The
cycle consists of the following periods:
1. Auto-Zero period (100 to 200 ms).
2. Integrate period (100 ms). A 1 ms nominal hold
signal is inserted at the beginning and end of the
Integrate period to accomodate settling times in the
analog section.
3. Read period (variable 0 to 100 ms).
3-16. Analog Section
3-13. The microcomputer (U9) contains all of the 2180 A
programming, control logic, and linearizing capability. It
also provides all signals necessary to update the display.
Linearization of the RTD signal is accomplished by using
a piece-wise, 4th order, curve-fit approximation for each
3-2
3-17. ANALOG MEASUREMENT CIRCUIT
3-18. The analog measurement circuitry consists of an
RTD input circuit, two voltage reference circuits, a
ground sense amplifier, a buffer amplifier, a dual slope
A/D Converter (integrator, gain stage, and comparator),
and a combination of FET switches. Refer to Figure 3-3
in conjunction with the following individual circuit
descriptions. All FET switches will be shown in their open
state; they are closed during measurement cycle
commands from the 2180A’s digital section.
3-19. The RTD Input circuit comprises the RTD probe,
the RTD Input Module, and a low pass filter on the Input
Module’s PCB. Source current flows through a series
combination of the RTD probe, R2 (RTD Input
Module), and R1 (Main PCB). The voltage sensed across
the RTD is routed through the Input Module, and onto
the Main PCB. The TSense line (always a positive
voltage) is then applied to the low pass filter.
DE+
f^o
U16
3-20. The ground sense amplifier (Q20, U7 and
associated circuitry) maintains the -Sense line at
measurement ground. This amplifier compensates for
noise and offsets on the -V and -Sense lines.
3-21. To achieve switching between 0.01° and .1°
resolution, the buffer gain is shifted by a factor of ten. For
0.01° resolution, FET switch Q17 is on, and a reference
voltage of-100 mV is applied to the buffer (Q19, U5). The
buffer gain is set to 100. For 0.1° resolution, FET switch
Q16 is on, and a reference voltage of -1 .OOV is applied and
the buffer gain is 10.
3-22. The first voltage reference consists of a resistor
network supplied by an accurate 6.2V dc reference
voltage. The resistive divider network is set to provide 200
mV to Q14, lOOmVtoQ15, l.OVtoQl l,and2.0VtoQlO.

2180A
When 0.01° resolution is in use, Q12 will allow reference
capacitor C19 to attain a -100 mV charge. For 0.1°
resolution, Q8 will allow C20 to charge to ° l.OV. Either
reference capacitor will be placed at the -Sense level
during Auto-Zero. Recovery deintegrate is applied to
QIO and Q14.
3-23. A second voltage reference (U15-6) provides an
accurate 6.2V across the series combination of R1 (Main
Thermometer PCB), R2 (RTD Input PCB), and the
RTD. This voltage therefore provides the source (+V)
voltage for the RTD.
3-24. The Buffer, Integrator, Gain Stage, and
Comparator Amplifiers combine to perform the analog
functions of the Integrate, Read, and Auto-Zero periods.
The Buffer is used to provide integrator inputs during all
three periods. The Integrator integrates the Buffer output
voltage during the Integrate and Read periods and, in
combination with the Gain Stage, functions as a closedloop amplifier during the Auto-Zero period.
3-25. An Auto-Zero period is commanded during the
first phase of each measurement cycle. During this time,
five auto-zero switches (Q4, Q5, Q11, Q15, and Q22) are
closed by the microcomputer. Three of the switches (Q11,
Q15, and Q22) charge the reference capacitors to +100
mV on Cl9 and +1.0V on C20. Closing switch Q4
connects the Integrator and Gain Stage into a closed-loop
configuration. This action also allows the Auto-Zero
capacitor (Cl2) to charge to a value proportional to the
algebraic sum of all the offset voltages in the Buffer,
Integrator and Gain Stage. At the end of the Auto-Zero
period, switches Q4, Q5, Q11, Q15, and Q22 are opened.
The reference capacitors (Cl9 and C20) and the AutoZero capacitor retain their charges for later use in the
measurement cycle.
Read mode is enabled. Similarly, a negative Read mode is
enabled when a negative input is sensed.
3-28. When the positive Read mode is commanded,
FET switches Q13 and Q9 are closed. If 0.1° resolution is
in effect, Q8 will place the positive side of reference
capacitor C20 at ground. With 0.01° resolution in effect,
Q12 will place the positive side of reference capacitor Cl 9
at ground. Reference capacitors C20 and Cl9 will then
apply either -1 .OV or -100 mV, respectively, to the Buffer
input.
3-29. When the negative Read mode is commanded,
switches QIO and Q14 are closed; Q9 and Q13 are open.
With .01° resolution selected, approximately +200 mV
will be applied to the positive side of reference capacitor
Cl9. The algebraic sum of the voltage at the Buffer input
will then be +100 mV. When 0.1° resolution is selected,
approximately +2.0V will be applied to the positive side
of reference capacitor C20. Buffer input voltage will then
be +1.0V (only during recover deintegrate).
3-30. After a 1 ms settling time, switch Q7 closes and the
Buffer output voltage is applied to the Integrator input.
The integrator capacitor now begins to discharge at a
linear rate (determined by the reference voltage). This
discharge continues until the integrator voltage reaches
the comparator trip point, which is referenced to the
voltage on the Auto-Zero capacitor. When this level is
reached, the comparator changes state, commanding the
microcomputer to terminate the Read period. To
facilitate auto-zero, the microcomputer then calls a
reference voltage opposite in polarity to the one
previously used (DE- or DE+). When the integrator
reaches the trip point, the microcomputer immediately
begins the Auto-Zero period.
3-26. The Integrate period (see Figure 4-4) starts on the
leading edge of the integrate command from the
microcomputer; switch Q21 is closed and switch Q7 is
opened. The RTD input voltage is applied through switch
Q21 to the Buffer input. After a 1 ms settling period,
switch Q7 closes, and the Buffer output is applied to the
Integrator for 100 ms. As the integrator capacitor C2
charges, the Integrator drives the comparator, through
the gain stage to +5V dc which indicates that the charge
on C2 is more negative than the Auto-Zero Reference
Cl2. At the end of the Integrate period, the integrate
capacitor is charged to a level and polarity proportional
to the RTD voltage, and switches Q21 and Q7 return to
the open state.
3-27. The Read period starts at the end of the Integrate
period. Depending upon the input polarity sensed by the
comparator during the Integrate period, one of two Read
modes is enabled if a positive input is sensed, a positive
3-31. Offset voltages present during the Integrate and
Read periods are cancelled by offset voltages that were
sampled and held during the Auto-Zero period.
3-32. POWER SUPPLY
3-33. The 2190A Power Supply consists of a DC to DC
Converter and regulating circuitry. AC inputs are made
via the input power cord, line fuse, and power
transformer/rectifier. External +12V dc inputs can also
be made directly to the DC to DC Converter circuitry via
line TBl (see Main PCB schematic. Section 8). The
function of the power supply is to provide +5V, +5V
unregulated, +15V, and -15V dc operating voltages for
the 2180A circuitry. The power supply can be driven from
ac line or 12V dc external source. The DC to DC
conversion and voltage regulation is accomplished using
conventional power supply design techniques.

4-23. CALIBRATION
4-24. The thermometer should be calibrated at either
90-day or annual periods, depending upon the accuracy
desired, and any time that repairs are made to the
instrument. Conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius
scales is realized through a mathematical computation by
the microcomputer. Calibration in °F is recommended.
Calibration in either scale (° F or °C) insures the accuracy
of the other. Either scale can be verified by executing the
Performance Test.

602-1. INTRODUCTION
602-2. The 21X0-002 Option is an analog and digital
output unit. It provides either the2180A or2190A Model
Digital Thermometers with a recording output for a
permanent record when required. The option may be
ordered with the unit for factory installation or is
available as a kit for installation in the field.
602-3. The analog output is available on the rear panel
at two flush banana jacks with the polarity indicated. The
output is a scaled voltage source of 1 millivolt per degree
of temperature, regardless of the temperature scale
selected, with the polarity as read on the display. For
example; a reading of 251° F would output +251 mV dc;
97.3°C would output +97.3 mV dc; and -31.9°F would
output -31.9 mV dc.
602-4. The digital output is a clocked message that can
be in two different formats to match the requirement of
the customer’s equipment. Output on one set of lines is a
bit-parallel, byte-serial message format designed for
printer interface. Also available are the standard EIA
RS232C and current loop bit-serial outputs. Both
formats provide the channel number, the current reading
displayed, and any out of range or open thermocouple
information.

5. Reinstall the Main PCB in the bottom half of
the case.
6. On the Output Unit PCB use Table 602-2 and S1
to select the desired BAUD rate, select position 0 on
the Function switch S2, and select the PTI Bus
Address using S3. When using the RS-232-C inter
face, set the address switch S3 to address 1,6, 7, 8, or
9. When using the 2XXX A-522 Personality Card and
the 1120A IEEE-488 Translator, set the baud rate to
2400 and follow all procedures regarding the RS-232C interface.
7. Connect the Output Unit cables to the
connectors on the Main PCB.
8. Attach the Output Unit PCB to the spacers,
component side down, and the connector to the rear
panel access port.
9. Replace the PTI cover on the instrument and
reconnect the input power sources, if required, at
602-10. All connections between the Output Unit
Option and external instruments are made using the rear
panel connectors previously described. The analog
output is from standard banana jacks. The digital output
female connector has a mating male connector
accompanying the option. This allows the customer to
custom make a cable between the thermometer output
option and the receiving device. Table 602-3, is the pin
out data for the digital output connector.
602-2
NOTE
Standard RS232C signals are output on 25-
pins, the connector on the -002 Output Option
is 36-pins, therefore, the user must either
hardwire the connection between the -002
Output Option or order the Y2026B, Cable
Adapter,
Page 55
21X0A-002
602-11. OPERATION
NOTE
For RS232Cor20 mA current loop operation,
the -002 address switches may be ignored.
The Data Set Ready (DSR, pin 33) or Clear
To Send (CTS, pin 32)must be at +5 Vto +75 V
in order to output data on the RS232C bus.
These lines can be tied to Request To Send
(RTS), pin 31) which provides the required
+JSV.
602-12. Once the Output Unit Option is installed, the
only operator functions deal with the connection of
external equipment to the analog or digital output
connectors.
602-13. The positive and negative analog terminals have
available a dc millivolt output with the same polarity, and
proportional to the temperature displayed. For example,
if the thermometer displayed +105.7° F the analog output
would be +105.7 mV dc and for -53.1°C the output
would be -53.1 mV dc. The full resolution of the
temperature display (tenths or hundredths of degrees) is
reflected on the output.
602-14. The digital output can be connected to a printer
or any device accepting parallel ASCII data, or to a device
accepting RS232C or Current Loop signals. Connections
for all three types of signals are available simultaneously
on the 36-pin output connector previously described.
602-15. THEORY OF OPERATION
602-16. The Output Unit Option converts the
temperature displayed by the output into a format usable
by the customer’s equipment. The output may be
available as a scaled analog voltage or as formatted
parallel and serial ASCII digital output. The following
paragraphs describe operation of the Accessory Bus that
handles communication between the instrument and the
options, the analog output circuitry and the digital output
circuitry. Refer to the schematic in Section 8 during the
following discussion.
602-17. Accessory Bus Communication
602-18. The option communicates with the
thermometer on the clocked bit-serial accessory bus.
Transmitted on the bus are channel number, range,
conversion type, scale, and digits of the temperature
reading. When the WRTADR line is held low, DCLK
clocks the address of the Output Unit (4), followed by the
thermometer data to the microprocessor on the DATA
line. Once into the microprocessor, the data is converted,
formatted, and output to the analog and digital output
circuitry.
602-19. Analog Circuitry
602-20. The temperature reading received by the
microcomputer is used to generate an integrate control
signal, the length of which is proportional to the
magnitude of the temperature reading. This signal is used
to turn on (close) the FET switches Q6 and U12-2, open
the switches Ull-2, U11-3 and U12-3, and set the output
polarity with switches at U12-9 and U12-10. (U12-9 is
closed when a negative reading is being processed and
U12-10 when a positive signal is being processed.)
602-21. With Q6 on, the capacitor C1 is charged linearly
to a voltage proportional to the length of the control
signal at Q6. When Q6 has been on for the time required,
it is opened, and switch U11-13 is closed, so the output of
U13-8 can be sampled and held on C2. After 10 ms switch
Ull-3 opens and switch Ull-11 closes to zero the
integrate capacitor Cl, until the next conversion cycle.
602-22. The voltage held on C2 is buffered by U13-7.
U13-14 either passes the voltage directly to the output
stage, or amplifies it as controlled by switches U12-9 and
U12-10, which alternate states to set the polarity. The
output stage at U13-1 has a constant gain of -1.
602-23. Digital Output Circuitry
602-24. The thermometer reading transmitted on the
accessory bus every 333 ms is formatted by the
microcomputer and, if requested, made available on the
PTI Bus, RS232C, and current loop outputs. Refer to the
schematics in Section 8 during the following description.
602-25. Eight data, four address, a data valid, an address
valid, and an acknowledge line are used by the PTI Bus
Interface. The external device requests data from the Out
put Unit by applying the preselected address to the address
lines. The address is preselected by setting switch S3 to the
desired number (0-9). When the proper address is decoded
the tri-state output buffers (U8 and U9) are enabled, and
the microcomputer and external device are notified that the
Output Unit has a valid address. When the conversion pro
cess is complete, the microcomputer applies the first char
acter of the formatted data to the output lines and pulls the
DATVAL line low. The external device reads the data and
pulls the ACK line low, causing the Output Unit to reply
with a new character. The process is repeated until data
transfer is complete. The message formats are shown in
Figure 602-1, and a timing diagram is shown in Figure
602-2.
602-3
Page 56
21X0A-002
602-26. After transfer to the printer lines is complete,
the microcomputer checks the DATA SET READY and
CLEAR TO SEND lines from the RS232C Interface. If
both lines are high, the same message as was output on the
print lines is output on the RS232C and current loop lines
in a bit-serial format. Since the thermometer cycle rate of
333 ms is shorter than the time required to output data at
BAUD rate of 1200 and less, a message is not transmitted
during every instrument cycle.
602-27. CALIBRATION
602-28. Analog circuitry in the option should be
calibrated every 90 days or after any repair of the unit.
The procedure following assumes that power is supplied
to the unit and that a Digital Voltmeter capable of reading
10 mV on the 1 volt, or equivalent range, i.e., a Fluke
Model 8800A, is available.
1. Remove power from the instrument.
2. Remove the top cover from the thermometer.
3. Remove the screws attaching the option pcb to
the Main PCB.
4. Leaving the interconnect cables connected,
turn the option pcb to the right, while facing the
instrument, exposing the component side and
making the switches and adjustment accessible.
7. Set the FUNCTION switch (S2) to position I
(CAL 1).
8. Adjust R26 for an output of 0 ± O.I mV dc.
9. Set the FUNCTION switch to position 2 (CAL
2).
10. Adjust R15 for an output of 0 ± 0.1 mV dc.
11. Set FUNCTION switch to position 3 (CAL 3).
12. Adjust R11 for an output of -lOV ± 1 mV dc.
13. Set FUNCTION switch to position 4 (CAL 4).
14. Adjust RI9 for an output of+I0V ± I mV dc.
15. Remove power and the test DMM, then
reinstall the option pcb on the Main PCB and the
top cover on the instrument.
602-29. TROUBLESHOOTING
602-30. Troubleshooting for the 2180A Option -002,
Output Unit, consists of the tabular flow chart in Table
602-4. When a step on the flow chart is completed, check
for a decision transfer. If no decision is required, perform
the next step of the table in sequence.
5. Connect the DMM to the Analog Output
Connector.
6. Apply power to the instrument and allow if to
warm-up for a minimum of 5 minutes.

604-2. Option 21X0A-004 IEEE-488 Interface provides
the 2180A and 2190A digital thermometers with a direct
output only connection to the IEEE-488 bus.
604-3. Option 21X0A-004 may be ordered with the 2180A
and 2190A thermometers for factory installation, or is
available by itself for service center installation. Option
21XO A-004 cannot be used in a 2300A Scanner system. For
more compatibility information, refer to “Compatibility
With 2300A and Previously Produced Thermometers”.
604-4. The IEEE-488 standard connector is accessible
from the rear panel of the thermometer. The format of the
output data includes the channel number, the current read
ing, and any out-of-range or open thermocouple informa
tion. (Refer to Table 604-3.)
604-5. SPECIFICATIONS
604-6. Specifications for Option 21 XO A-004 are shown in
Table 604-1.
NOTE
The L4 listener function indicates that the
thermometer IEEE-488 bus interface has the
same 5-digit talk and listen addresses, and that
the receipt of a listen address disables the talk
address.
604-7. IEEE-488 BUS ADDRESS CODE
SELECTION
604-8. A six-position dip switch (SW3), located on
Option 21X0A-004 pea (printed circuit assembly), sets the
IEEE-488 bus address codes for the option. To gain access
to SW3, lift off the case top of the thermometer by remov
ing the six screws from the base. Referring to Table 604-2,
set positions 1 through 5 of SW3 to assign the desired
address.
604-9. OPERATION
604-10. Once Option 21X0A-004 is installed and SW3 is
properly set, make sure that the IEEE-488 cable is correctly
connected to the option to ensure that all functions are
properly monitored by the controller.
604-11. Program Considerations
604-12. Position 6 on SW3 controls the SRQ signal (Ser
vice Request) to the IEEE-488 bus. Upon receiving an
SRQ, the controller serially polls each device on the bus for
SRQ status. SRQ status of the Option 21X0A-004 is indi
cated by bit DB6 (position 64 decimal, 40 hexadecimal) in
the serial poll register (U12). With SW3 position 6 in the
ON position, SRQ is generated when a LF (line feed) is
received in the 32-byte buffer of Option 21X0A-004. The
LF character is used by the thermometer to indicate the end
of a data transfer to the Option 21 XO A-004. (Refer to Table
604-3.) Option 21X0A-004 sets DBl (2 decimal), which
causes a serial poll to return a total value of decimal 66 or 42
hexadecimal.
604-13. When the SRQ mode is enabled, the SRQ is set
when the thermometer makes a reading available to the
Option 21X0A-004. The reading is held indefinitely until
the SRQ is serviced. All new readings from the thermom
eter are discarded. When SRQ is disabled, the output
buffer is continuously updated with the most recent reading
from the thermometer. However, there may be a 0.33
second delay encountered in the returned reading. This
delay occurs when one reading is sent across the IEEE bus
and the Option 21X0A-004 waits for the thermometer to
send the next reading. An IEEE bus timeout error may
occur unless the timeout is set longer than this delay.

604-14. Message Format
604-15. Table 604-3. contains the sequence of information
in the output data string. The sequence is the fixed length
format presented on the IEEE bus.
604-16. Sample Programs
604-17. The following sample programs show two differ
ent situations in which the controller receives temperature
readings from the thermometer. The program listed in Fig
ure 604-1 instructs the controller to asynchronously retrieve
a temperature reading after an SRQ has been sent from the
thermometer. The program listed in Figure 604-2 instructs
the controller to ask for a temperature reading at a specific
program step.
604-18. SRQ Program
604-19. The SRQ program, when typed into a 1720A,
1722A, or 1752A controller informs the controller what to
do when an SRQ is received from the thermometer. The
program allows the controller to perform other tasks until
the thermometer has a temperature reading. The thermom
eter sends a 66 hexadecimal value back to the controller in
response to the serial poll (SPL). If more than one ther
mometer or more than one other instrument (a maximum
of 14) is connected to the controller, the program distin
guishes which instrument is sending the SRQ and deter
100, 200, 220, 240V ac ± 10% 50/60 Hz, 3VA. (The 12-volt
battery operation is not supported.)

mines priority if more than one SRQ is received at the same
time. After the controller receives the temperature reading
and prints it on the controller screen, the program ends the
SRQ handling procedure and waits for another SRQ.
NOTE
The following programs are written in Fluke
BASIC and operate on the 1720A, 1722A, and
1752A controllers. A modification of the SRQ
program may be required to conform to other
IEEE controllers.
604-20. The Non-SRQ Program
604-21. The sample program in Figure 604-2 inputs and
prints temperature readings without the use of an SRQ. A
2-second delay is required after the TRIG @2 statement
(line 50) to allow Option 21X0A-004 to finish the reset pro
cess before requesting readings from it. The TIMEOUT
delay (line 70) must be set greater than 333 ms, so the con
troller waits for the thermometer to provide the next read
ing to the INPUT statement.
604-22. Group Execute Trigger
604-23. The Option 21X0A-004 responds to the IEEE488 GET command by simply resetting the two micropi ^cessors (U5 and Ull) on the board. Resetting the microp-

rocessors ensures that they are synchronized properly with
the IEEE-488 interface chip (U12), and is a recommended
start-up procedure at the beginning of the program in the
IEEE-488 controller. A 2 second time delay is required to
complete the resetting operation. Do not attempt to access
Option 21X0A-004 before the end of the time delay.
604-24. Functional Equivalent
604-25. The operation of Option 21XOA-004 is functionally
equivalent to the combination of the Fluke 21X0A-002,
2XXXA-522, and I120A with the exception of the follow
ing four items:
CHANGES:
1. Option 21X0A-004 displays a lower case (d)
instead of a blank in front of the temperature
scale indicator. See Output Format, Table 604-3.
2. Option 21XO A-004 operates at the full speed rate
of the thermometer, (3 readings per second,
instead of 1.5 readings per second).
3. The 2XXXA-522 previously contained a bufferfull SRQ function that produced an SRQ when
the 32-byte buffer is filled. The buffer-full SRQ
function no longer exists with the 2XXXA-522,
but the switch is still present and its function is
still listed in the 2XXXA-522 manual. The
buffer-full SRQ function is not available on
Option 21X0A-004.
ADDED
FEATURE:
(DCLK-) clocks the accessory bus address then the ther
mometer data into the 3870 microprocessor (U5) on the
DATA- line. In U5, the data is formatted (Table 604-2) and
made available for transfer to the 8748 microprocessor
(Ull).
604-29. U5 applies a character to the tri-state buffers (U8
and U9) and pulls the Data Valid (DATVAL) line low. If
Ull is not transferring data to UI2 or if it is waiting for
SRQ to be serviced, Ull responds to U5 by strobing the
character onto the Option Data Bus with a STROBE- sig
nal and reads the character into its 32-byte buffer. U11 also
generates Acknowledge (ACK), which causes U5 to reply
with a new character. When an LF character is detected,
Ull unmasks the byte-out interrupt. If the SRQ switch is
set to ON, the SRQ switch triggers the GPIA (General
Purpose Interface Adapter) to send SRQ to the controller.
The 32-byte buffer never completely fills because ther
mometer readings consist of 21 bytes.
604-30. The IEEE-488 Bus Controller initiates the talk
mode by sending the talk address to the GPIA (U12) over
the IEEE-488 bus when Attention (ATN) is asserted true
low. The GPIA responds by setting the byte-out interrupt
(U12-40) high, as a signal to U11 to pass data bytes to U12.
The following three conditions must be met before data
transfer can begin:
® Ready For Data (RFD) from the IEEE-488 bus
is true (low).
• Data Accepted (DAC) from the IEEE-488 bus is
false (high).
® Ull must have the byte-out interrupt unmasked.
4. Option 21 XO A-004 responds to a Group Execute
Trigger. See Group Execute Trigger, paragraph
604-23.
604-26. If you include Option 21X0A-004 when up
grading or adding new equipment to a system currently
operating with the 21X0A-002, 2XXXA-522, or 1120A
combination, note the first two changes listed in paragraph
604-25.
604-27. THEORY OF OPERATION
604-28. Option 21X0A-004 converts the temperature dis
played by the thermometer into a format usable by an
IEEE-488 Bus Controller. Option 21X0A-004 communi
cates with the thermometer on the clocked bit-serial acces
sory bus. The channel number, range, conversion type,
scale, and digits of the temperature reading are transmitted
on the bus. The cycle is repeated every 333 ms. When the
Write Address (WRTADR-) line is held low. Data Clock
604-31. When the above conditions are met, UII sends
the data byte to the Data Out Register of the GPIA via the
Option Data Bus. At this time, the byte-out interrupt is set
to zero, and the data byte is checked for the LF character.
The GPIA handshakes the data byte to the IEEE-488 Bus,
and the byte-out interrupt (U12-40), transmitted to UT1, is
set to 1. If the data byte is an LF character, EOI (End or
Identify) is also sent to the IEEE Controller to signal the
end of a data reading. This process continues as long as
there is data in the 32-byte buffer of U11. When the 32-byte
buffer is empty, Ull masks the byte-out interrupt from the
GPIA.
604-32. The IEEE-488 address setting for Option 21XOA004 is read by the GPIA (U12) via the Option 21X0A-004
data bus when the GPIA sends a strobe out on U12-4 to the
address switch tri-state buffers (U18).
604-33. When the GPIA detects a Group Execute Trigger
for its address, it sets U12-24 to a logic high to cause a
604-5
Page 72
21XOA-004
Power On Reset (POR) via Q4 and U16. The POR resets
U5 and Ull, and lasts for approximately 150 ms.
604-34. The power supply for Option 21XOA-004 power
supply is a standard linear regulator using a full-wave
center tap rectifier and pass transistor regulator (Q5). The
regulator is driven by U17 and Q6, and is referenced from a
2.5-volt band gap reference (U15). U16 performs POR and
low voltage detection. The option provides its own power
rather than using the power supply of the thermometer,
which is unable to provide enough additional power.
604-35. Option 21X0A-004 is a consolidation of the cir
cuitry from Option 21X0A-002, Option 2XXXA-522, and
1120A that is required for IEEE-488 output operation. The
consolidated circuitry does not include analog output cap
ability or the slow serial communication link between the
Option 21X0A-002 and 2XXXA-522 microprocessors.
Instead, the circuitry uses the PTI (Portable Test Instru
ment) parallel output port of the Option 21X0A-002 to
communicate with the Option 2XXX A-522 microprocessor.
604-36. COMPATIBILITY WITH 2300A
AND PREVIOUSLY PRODUCED
THERMOMETERS
604-37. Option 21X0A-004 is not intended to be used
with a thermometer that is a part of a 2300A Scanning Sys
tem. In a 2300A system, an Option 2300A-005 or Option
2300A-006 should be installed in the 2300A for connection
to the IEEE-488 bus. Option 2300A-005 is for output only,
similar to Option 21X0A-004 operation. Option 2300A-006
additionally provides remote control of the 2300A. Options
2300A-005 and 2300A-006 use the 2XXX A-522 and 1120A
for connection to the IEEE bus.
CAUTION
“2190”, the thermometer is an early version. Newer versions
begin with “800” or “900.”
604-39. If your thermometer is an early version, either of
the following two modifications may be performed:
1. The microprocessor in the thermometer can be
replaced with a newer version. Contact your local
John Fluke Service Center to order the latest
2180A or 2190A standard versions.
a. When you are updating a 2180A to the latest
version, be aware there are changes in the avail
able choice of Resistance Temperature Detec
tor (RTD) linearizations. If you require the
original linearizations, order a special retrofit
kit Model 2180A/AYK. (P/N 796953)
b. When you are selecting from the latest versions
of 2190A linearizations, be aware that an
enhanced microprocessor retrofit kit is also
available. The enhanced retrofit kit provides 15
thermocouple types. Order Model 2190A/ AMK
(P/N 763292)
2. A modification to Option 21X0A-004 may alter
natively be performed. Contact your local John
Fluke Service Center and arrange for the installa
tion of a 2180A-4021W (JF P/N 539288) onto
Option 21X0A-004. QI and Q3 are removed from
the pea and replaced by the modification circuit.
This modification makes Option 21X0A-004
compatible with all versions of 2180A and 2190A
thermometers. A +5 volt connection is provided
next to U2 to provide power to the added modifi
cation circuit.
Option 21X0A-004 is not compatible with a
2300A Scanning System. Such use may cause
channel numbers to be displaced by one read-
ing, and each reading may be output twice.
604-38. Option 21X0A-004 is not directly compatible
with the earliest version of the 2180 A and 2190A thermome
ters. A choice of either of the two modifications described
below provides compatibility. To identify the early version
of thermometer, observe the thermometer display as it is
turned on. If the display characters begin with “2180” or

606-6. INSTALLATION
606-7. Options for field installation can be installed
using the following procedure:
606-9. Installation of the Limits Option enables the low
current single contact relay (Kl) on the thermometer
Main PCB. The contact points are available on a rear

NOTE
Once installed, there are no provisions for
disabling the Limits Option. If a temperature
display is desired without the relay or LED
indications, select one of the Limits functions
f> or and the maximum setting on the
numeric thumbwheel switches.
606-10. OPERATION
606-11. The position and general description of the
Limits Option front panel controls is given in Section 2. A
more detailed description of the three functions is given in
the following paragraphs. The term "thermocouple" =
"RTD" for the 2180A.
606-12. Limits Function
606-13. The Limits function is enabled when the
function portion of the thumbwheel is set in either the ^
or > position. The front panel LED illuminates and the
rear panel relay contacts close when either of the preset
conditions are met. In the greater than (>) function the
indications (LED and relay contacts) result from any
temperature reading that exceeds the value set on the
limits thumbwheels. The less than (^) function gives its
indication when the temperature read by the thermometer
is equal to, or less than, the value set on the limits
thumbwheels. The thumbwheel LSD is a whole number,
fractional entries cannot be made.
606-14. Delta Function
606-15. When the Delta (A) function is selected on the
thumbwheel the thermometer display reads the difference
between the temperature at the thermocouple and the
whole number setting of the thumbwheels. The formula
used for the computation is:
606-18. THEORY OF OPERATION
606-19. The -006 Option supplies the thermometer with
the function and numeric data selected on the front panel
mechanical thumbwheel switches. When a Limits
function is selected, the data is stored for comparison on
the option pcb. All communication between the option
and the thermometer is done on the clocked serial
accessory bus. This bus transmits and receives addresses,
thumbwheel data, reset data, and limit status. Refer to the
schematic in Section 8 during the Theory of Operation
discussion.
606-20. Addressing
606-21. Each of the options on the bus is addressed with
a different code. The thermometer uses the address "6" to
talk to the Limits Option. To talk to any option the
WRTADR (P4-3) line must be brought low, with WRT
(P4-4) high, followed by the applicable four address bits
applied to the DATA (P4-5) line in succession, toggling
DCLK (P4-6) for each bit. This clocks the address into the
shift register (U2-15) where it is compared to the Limits
Option address and, if valid, (U1-1 low) enables the gates
required to shift data to the thermometer (U5-11) and into
the Limits Option (U5-2). Details of the data transfer are
in subsequent paragraphs.
606-22. Limits Option Outputs
606-23. Before the thermometer can input data from the
Limits Option, the Limits circuitry must be addressed as
described previously (Ul-1 low). Once addressed the
WRTADR and WRT lines go high. The low to high
transition of WRTADR (U3-6) loads the shift registers
from the thumbwheels and RESET switches. The two
lines enable the output data line (Ul-13) and as the
thermometer accepts the data it clocks the serial output
shift registers with DCLK, transferring the data from the
shift register to the thermometer.
T displayed = T at thermocouple - T thumbwheel setting
(in degrees)
606-16. MINIMUM/MAXIMUM Display
Function
606-17. The microcomputer acculmulates and stores
the highest and lowest temperatures recorded since the
last reset. When the Maximum (T) function is selected
the highest temperature recorded and stored in the
microcomputer is displayed. Selection of the Minimum
function (i) displays the lowest recorded temperature
since the last reset. To record the current temperature for
either function, select the applicable function and depress
the front panel reset switch.
606-2
606-24. In the thermometer the data is processed by the
microcomputer to perform the proper action. For the
Limits function the output is compared to the state of the
limits and, if exceeded, the indicator illuminated and the
relay energized. For the Delta function the temperature is
compared against the transmitted value and the
difference displayed. If either the Maximum or Minimum
function is selected the stored value is displayed, but, in
addition, the status of the RESET switch is checked.
606-25. Limits Option Inputs
606-26. The thermometer transmits to the Limits
Option only the Limits Exceeded status. After the option
has been addressed (Ul-1) WRTADR goes high to
Page 77
21X0A-006
disable the addressing circuit (U4-13) while WRT stays
low to enable the Limits Exceeded input (U5-8) so that
DCLK can clock the data into the latch (U5-1). A Limits
Exceeded indication clocks a high into the latch resulting
in a low at the output (U6-12) to turn on CRl. The limit
not exceeded or another function selected, loads a low
into the latch to turn off the indicator.
606-27. CALIBRATION
606-28. The Limits Option has no variable components
and does not require calibration.
