Measurement categories

To ensure safe operation of measurement instruments, IEC 61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical environments, categorized as CAT II to CAT IV, and called measurement categories.

CAT II : Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an AC

electrical outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household applianceas, etc.) CAT II covers directly measuring electrical outlet receptacles.

CAT III : Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed

installations) connected directly to the distribution panel, and feeders from the distribution panel to outlets.

CAT IV : The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and to

the power meter and primary overcurrent protection device (distribution panel).

Using a measurement instrument in an environment designated with a higher-numbered category than that for which the instrument is rated could result in a severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.

We define measurement tolerances in terms of f.s. (full scale), rdg. (reading) and dgt. (digit) values, with the following meanings:

f.s. (maximum display value or scale length)

The maximum displayable value or the full length of the scale. This is usually the maximum value of the currently selected range.

rdg. (reading or displayed value)

The value currently being measured and indicated on the measuring instrument.

dgt. (resolution)

The smallest displayable unit on a digital measuring instrument, i.e., the input value that causes the digital display to show a "1".

CAUTIO

Be sure to ensure the floating state for a battery circuit (measured object) with voltage exceeding 30 Vrms, 42.4 Vpeak, or 60 VDC. Connecting the instrument to a circuit exceeding 30 Vrms, 42.4 Vpeak, or 60 VDC may lead to electric shock.

Connect SOURCE and SENSE (banana plug) in the proper manner. For the correct procedure, refer to Section 3.3 "Connecting the Measurement Leads ".

To avoid injury or damage to the instrument, do not attempt to measure AC voltage, or DC voltage exceeding 60 V.

Do not allow the instrument to get wet, and do not take measurements with wet hands. This may cause an electric shock.

Do not use the instrument where it may be exposed to corrosive or combustible gases. The instrument may be damaged or cause an explosion.

To avoid electric shock when measuring live lines, wear appropriate protective gear, such as insulated rubber gloves, boots and a safety helmet.

･ Do not store or use the instrument where it could be exposed to direct

sunlight, high temperature or humidity, or condensation. Under such conditions, the instrument may be damaged and insulation may deteriorate so that it no longer meets specifications.

･ This instrument is designed for use indoors. It can be operated at

temperatures between 0 and 40℃ without degrading safety.

･ Do not input voltage and current between SOURCE-Hi and SENSE-Hi or

between SOURCE-Lo and SENSE-Lo.

･ Various connectors are provided on the outer panel of the instrument.

Make sure the instrument is turned off before connecting cables to these connectors. To prevent short-circuits, make sure connections are made correctly.

･ The GND terminals on the external control terminal, external output

terminal, RS-232C interface, GP-IB interface, and printer interface are grounded. This means that the devices connected to the GND terminals are grounded. Take care in handling them.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────

.2 Features

(1) AC four-terminal method for accurate measurement of resistance

Thanks to the AC four-terminal method, the 3560 is capable of accurate resistance measurements unaffected by the resistance of leads or by contact resistance generated between the lead and the measured object.

(2) Measurement of resistance at low power

The 3560 employs a low-power measurement of resistance system that conforms to global standards. This permits accurate measurement of contact resistance without serious damage to the oxide film on the contact surface.

(3) High-speed measurement and high-speed pass/fail judgment

The 3560 is capable of performing both measurement and pass/fail judgment at high speeds, allowing reduced line tact time. Up to thirty comparators can be set and one 3560 conducts pass/fail judgment performed for various measured objects.

(4) Battery measurement

Since the 3560 simultaneously measures resistance and DC voltage, it is capable of making a combined pass/fail judgment possible for internal resistance and open-circuit voltage.

(5) Interface

The 3560 comes with an RS-232C interface, external output terminal, and external control terminal as standard features, allowing data communications with a computer. The instrument also supports optional GP-IB and printer interfaces.

(6) Lead options

The 3560 supports options such as clip-type, pin-type, and four-terminal leads, allowing the user to select the most suitable lead for the shape of the particular object being measured.

(7) Excellent visibility and ergonomics

The fluorescent character display allows measurements to be read in poorly-lit areas, and low switch hierarchy allows for easy and intuitive operation.

.3.4 Lead Line Break Check (Imperfect Contact Check)

■ SOURCE line break check

The 3560 measures resistance using the AC constant-current system. With this method, an AC constant current is unlikely to be supplied due to a broken SOURCE line or the resistance of the measurement object. Since using normal measurement procedures in such circumstance will produce incorrect resistance measurements, the system checks the SOURCE line for breaks. If a break is detected, "−−−−− "appears in the measured value display field, and the associated signal is output to the external output terminal. For external output terminal details, see Section 6.3.2 "External Output Terminal."

NOTE

The SOURCE line break check cannot be disabled.

■ SENSE line break check

The SENSE line is examined for breaks. If a break is detected, "−−−−−" appears in the measured value display zone, and the associated signal is output to the external output terminal. For external output terminal details, see Section 6.3.2 "External Output Terminal." The SENSE line break check may be disabled or enabled.

NOTE

1. Press the lit on the display.

2. Press the "LIMIT OFF" appears from the display, and the limiter is turned off.

Limiter: ON

･ For more information on the voltage limiter, see Section 10.6 "IEC 512-2,

JIS C 5402 and JIS C 5441."

･ To shut off the DC current, the SOURCE and SENSE terminals of the

instrument are equipped with capacitors. The voltage limiter will not work when these capacitors are charged. If you measure an element having electromotive force, such as a battery, then measure its contact resistance, you must first short-circuit the measurement lead once to neutralize the charge in the capacitors.

･ The open-circuit terminal voltage between SENSE-Hi and SOURCE-Hi

does not guarantee 20 mV. When using 9453 FOUR TERMINAL LEAD, avoid crossing the red and black leads.

resistance (240 counts for FAST sampling rate) and up to 3400 counts in measuring voltage. If an attempt is made to use the zero-adjust beyond these limits, "ERR-1" appears in the display to prevent further zeroadjust operations. Perform a zero-adjust whenever you change sampling rates.

･ The voltage is input to the 3560 for measurement. If the voltage input is

3400 counts or more at zero adjustment, "ERR-1" appears and the zero adjustment is invalidated even in the resistance measurement mode.

･ The value determined upon zero clearing is a reference for the possible

zero adjustment range.

･ Whenever the sampling rate is changed, a zero adjustment should be

made.

･ For 9455 PIN TYPE LEAD, first conduct the zero-adjust for 9287-10

CLIP TYPE LEAD, then replace the 9287-10 leads with 9455 PIN TYPE LEAD and conduct a zero-adjust for the 9455 leads.

･ Zero adjustment can also be performed by the 9461 when the 9454 ZERO

ADJUSTMENT BOARD is used.

･ When the zero adjustment is made in the auto range mode, it is applied

to the entire range.

･ When the system is put in the HOLD mode while the zero adjustment is

being made in the auto range mode, "ERR-1" appears. In this case, cancel the hold status and execute the zero adjust again.

■ In case of abnormal measurements (NG)

When the 3560 monitors the measurement process and judges the measurement to be incorrect, it outputs an abnormal measurements (NG) signal, displaying "−−−−− " on the fluorescent character display.

Abnormal measurements include the following events:

･ Broken SOURCE line ･ The SOURCE is not connected to the measured object. ･ The lead resistance of the SOURCE line and the contact resistance and

resistance of the measured object and reactance deviate from the valid ranges for each parameter. For valid ranges, refer to the following table.

An abnormal measurement signal is output when any of the following events occurs. For allowable ranges, see the table below.

･ The SENSE line break check is turned on, and a break has occurred in

the SENSE line.

･ The SENSE line break check is turned on, but the SENSE line is not

connected to the measured object.

･ If the induced voltage is greater than the internal signal processing

level, it is generated between the SOURCE and SENSE lines. Extending the measurement lead increases induced voltage. If the coil capacitor has large reactance, the induced voltage may exceed the internal signal processing level.

･ Immediately following a change in sampling rate ･ Immediately following a change in range

In the text below, "H" and "L" refer to the following two respective states: H: No input or input of GND +3.8 to GND +5 V. L: Input of GND +0 to GND +1.2 V. (Short-circuited to GND)

■ Measurement trigger (TRIG)

The displayed data is updated when this input signal is changed from "H" to "L" (i.e. the fall edge is created) in measurement-hold mode. For more information on hold mode, see Section 4.3.3 "Hold."

■ Comparator output request (MANU)

When the external output terminal mode is set to MANU in the comparator setting, the comparator result is output while this input signal remains "L." For more information on comparator settings, see Section 5.1 "Resistance Measurement Mode" and Section 5.2 "Resistance and Voltage Measurement Mode."

■ Zero-adjust request (0ADJ)

Zero-adjust is implemented when this input signal is changed from "H" to "L" (i.e. the fall edge is created) during measurement. For more information on zero-adjust, see Section 4.4 "Zero Adjust."

■ Print request (PRINT)

This signal is used to output measurement data from the optional digital printer (9203) or general-purpose Centronics printer. For more information on printers, see Chapter 9 "Printer Interface."

■ Comparator number selection (COMP0 to COMP4)

Select the comparator number from Section 6.1 "Terminals and Signals." For more information on comparators, see Chapter 5 "Comparator Function."

■ Hold on/off (EXT HOLD)

･ The measurement trigger (TRIG) is issued while the zero-adjust executes. ･ The comparator is automatically turned on and auto-range changed to

manual range if the comparator number is selected by the comparator number selection signal (COMP0 to COMP4) while auto-range is used.

･ When the comparator number (COMP0 to COMP4) is used, the remote

mode is active.

.3.2 External Output Terminal (Output Signal)

In the following text, "0" and "1" indicate the following two respective states: 0: The output transistor is turned off, and no current flows through it. 1: The output transistor is turned on, and current flows through it.

■ Comparator result (Hi (FAIL), IN (PASS), Lo (FAIL))

When the result is "1," the comparator result associated with the signal is valid.

■ End of measurement (EOC)

A change from "0" to "1" in this signal indicates that current measurement is complete, and that the comparator result output is determined.

■ Abnormal measurements (NG)

A value of "1" indicates an abnormal measurement. This signal is set to "1" even when abnormal measurements are detected in hold mode. Abnormal measurement results indicate a broken lead, incorrect contact, or defective internal analog circuits. For more information on abnormal measurements, see Section 4.5 "Starting Measurement."

NOTE

────────────────────────────────────────────────────

6.3 Measurement by External Control Terminal and External Output Terminal

･ If the comparator is not used, or if the mode of the comparator external

control terminal is MANU but the comparator output request (MANU) is not issued, "0" is output for all comparator results (Hi (FAIL), IN (PASS), and Lo (FAIL)). In the NG state, "0" is output for all comparator results (Hi (FAIL), IN (PASS), and Lo (FAIL)).

･ If no measurement is carried out after the instrument is turned on, all

output signals are set to "0." When the comparator result is FAIL in resistance and voltage mode, Hi (FAIL) and IN (PASS) are simultaneously set to "1."

7.2 Operating Procedure (RS-232C)

Page 68

────────────────────────────────────────────────────

.2.3 Program Messages

Program messages are command messages or query messages.

(1) Command messages

Command messages are orders for controls of the 3560, such as for making measurement condition settings or for reset or the like.

Example :LIM ON

(2) Query messages

Query messages are order for responses relating to results of measurement, or the state of 3560 settings. (A question mark"?"is suffixed at the end of the command.)

Example :CSET:BEEP?

.2.4 Message Format

The commands for the 3560 are as far as possible mnemonic. Furthermore, all commands have a long form, and an abbreviated short form.

(1) Program message

The program message is made up from header and data portions. Example :AUT ON

AUT: Header ON: Data

(ASCII codes or numerical characters. Messages containing no data also exist in the form of query messages.)

A command header can be abbreviated. The whole command form is referred to as the "long form" and the abbreviated from as the "short form." In this manual, the short form is written in upper case letters, and then this is continued in lower case letters so as to constitute the long form. Either of these forms will be accepted during operation, but intermediate forms will not be accepted. Further, during operation both lower case letters will be accepted without distinction.

(2) Response messages

It represents the response message for query messages from the 3560. Response messages generated by the 3560 are in long form and in upper case letters.

Example :CSET:BEEPER IN

NOTE

────────────────────────────────────────────────────

7.2 Operating Procedure (RS-232C)

･ If an error occurs when a query is received, no response message to the

query is sent.

･ When occurring in the message reference, the symbol " "(space) indicates

a space.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────

.2.5 Headers

(1) Program message headers

The program message always requires a header. These are three types of header: simple headers, compound headers, and particular headers.

Simple header

A header consisting of a single word beginning with a letter. Example :AUTorange

Compound header

A header consisting of a sequence of words separated by colons.

Example :LOCK:KEY

Particular header

A header beginning with an asterisk (*) to indicate that it is a particular command. Example *CLS

(2) Response message

Headers in response message can be enabled or disabled by using the ":HEADer" command. Example :CSET:BEEP? (Queries the buzzer setting) Response: [If headers are ON] :CSET:BEEPER IN Response: [If headers are OFF] IN (Data only)

────────────────────────────────────────────────────

7.2 Operating Procedure (RS-232C)

Page 70

────────────────────────────────────────────────────

.2.6 Data Formats

The 3560 use character string data and decimal numeric data, and the type used varies according to the command in question.

(1) Character data

Character string data must always being with an alphabetic character, and the characters following can be either alphabetic characters or numerals. Although in character data either upper case letters or lower case letters are accepted, response messages output by the 3560 are always in upper case letters.

Example :LIMIT ON

(2) Decimal data

The numeric data values are all represented in decimal, in three formats identified as NR1, NR2 and NR3, and each of these can appear as either a signed number or an unsigned number. Unsigned numbers are taken as positive. Further, if the accuracy of a numerical value exceeds the limit which the 3560 can deal, it is rounded off. (5 and above is rounded up; 4 and below is rounded down)

NR1 format - integer data.

Example +3000, ‑50000, 210

Example +2.56, ‑30.45, 300.28

Example +3E‑2, ‑1.2E3 The term "NRf format" includes all these three formats. When the 3560 is receiving it accepts NRf format, but when it is sending response messages it utilizes whichever one of the formats NR1 to NR3 is indicated in the specified command. Example :VRAN 5 :VRAN 5.01 :VRAN 0.05E2

.2.7 Delimiters

The term "delimiter" is used to refer to the following two possibilities for separating data sequences. The response message delimiter has the following two format: CR + LF, CR, LF The output is CR + LF.

NR2 format - fixed point numbers.

NR3 format - floating point numbers.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────

7.2 Operating Procedure (RS-232C)

Page 71

────────────────────────────────────────────────────

.2.8 Separators

(1) Message unit separator

A semicolon (;) is used as a message unit separator when it is desired to set out several messages on a single line. When message are combined in this way, if a syntax error occurs, all subsequent messages up to the next delimiter will be ignored. Example :RRAN 3E‑2;:VRAN 50;:MEAS:BATT？

(2) Header separator

In a message which has a header and data, a apace (represented by " "(space) in the examples) is used as the header separator to separate the header from the data. Example :COMPARATOR 1

(3) Data separator

If a message has several data items, commas (,) are required as data separators for separating these data items from one another. Example :CSET:RPAR

data1,data2

.2.9 Abbreviation of Compound Commands

When several compound headers have a common head portion (for example, :CSET: following on from one another, this common portion (:CSET: in this example) can be omitted. This common portion is called "the current path", by analogy with the general concept of the current directly in the directly structure of UNIX or MSDOS, and until it is cleared the analysis of following commands is performed by deeming them to be preceded by the current path is shown in the following example:

Normal expression

:CSET:NUMBer;:CSET:RPARameter

Abbreviated expression

:CSET:NUMBer;RPARameter

The current path is cleared when the power is turned on, when a colon (:) appears at the start of a command, and when delimiter is detected.

Messages with particular headers can be executed without relation to the current path. Further, they have no effect upon the current path. While simple and complex command headers don’t require a colon ": " prefix, we recommend using the colon to avoid confusion with abbreviated expressions and to prevent 3560 malfunction.

), then, when and only when writing them directly

With the 3560, there are 3 possible current paths: ":CSET", ":LOCK", ":MEAS"

.2.10 Output Buffer

The 3560 have an output buffer of 128 bytes capacity. Response messages accumulate in the output buffer and all data are received and cleared. The output buffer is also cleared in the following four situations:

When the instrument is powered on. When the Query error is occurred. When the Device is cleared. When the I/F is Switched.

.2.11 Input Buffer

The 3560 have an input buffer of 128 bytes capacity. Switching the interface clears the current setting.

.2.12 Status Byte Registers

(1) Status byte register (STB)

The status byte register is an 8-bit register whose contents are output from the 3560 to the controller, when serial polling is being performed. If even only one bit in the status byte register has changed from 0 to 1 (provided that it is a bit which has been set in the service request enable register as a bit which can be used), then the MSS bit is set to 1. Simultaneously with this the SRQ bit is set to 1, and service request is generated.

(2) Service request enable register (SRER)

This register masks the status byte register. Setting a bit of this register to 1 enables the corresponding bit of the status byte register to be used.

.2.13 Event Registers

(1) Standard event status register (SESR)

The standard event status register is an 8-bit register. If any bit in the standard event status register is set to 1 (after masking by the standard event status enable register), bit 5 (ESB) of the status byte register is set to 1.

RQS MSS

Logical sum

The standard event status register is cleared in the following four situations:
