Handshake (About Buffer Flow Control)
When using hardware (RTS/CTS control):
• When the data in the receive buffer exceeds 85% of
the buffer, CA(RTS) is set to OFF
notified that there is not much space remaining in the
buffer.
• Processing of the data in the buffer continues, and
then CA(RTS) is set to ON
fied that there is sufficient remaining space in the buffer when the amount of data becomes less than 25%
When using software (XON/XOFF control):
• When the data in the receive buffer exceeds 75% of
the buffer, XOFF(13H) is sent
the buffer.
• Processing of the data in the buffer continues, and then XON(11H) is sent and the controller is notified
that there is sufficient remaining space in the buf fer when the amo unt of dat a becomes less than 25%
When using hardware (RTS/CTS control):
• When CB(CTS) is confirmed to be OFF, the sending of data is halted. When it is confirmed to be ON,
the sending of data is resumed.
When using software (XON/XOFF control):
• When XOFF is received, the sending of data is halted. When XON is received, the sending of data is

2.1 Overview of Communication
You can control the instrument with communication commands from a computer via the GP-IB, RS-232C,
USB, and LAN interfaces.
There are the following four communication methods. To enable communication, the communication conditions need to be set on the instrument.
Printer can be connected to enable printing measurement values and screens.
• Commands common to IEEE-488-2 1987 (requirement) can be used.
• The instrument complies with the following standard. (Compliance standard: IEEE-488.1 1987)
• The instrument has been designed with reference to the following standard. (Reference standard:
IEEE-488.2 1987)
0
Chapter 2 Model IM3570 Connection and Setting
The instrument is communication class compatible.
Command control using the TCP/IP protocol is possible.
• Always turn both devices OFF when connecting and disconnecting an interface
connector. Otherwise, an electric shock accident may occur.
• To avoid damage to the instrument, do not short-circuit the terminal and do not
input voltage to the terminal.
• Failure to fasten the connectors properly may result is sub-specification performance or damage to the equipment.

To connect the instrument to a computer the first time, a dedicated USB driver must be installed.
Before connecting the instrument to the computer, install the USB driver.
The USB driver can be downloaded from the bundled CD, or our web site.(http://www.hioki.c om)
The USB driver is compatible with the Windows XP (32-bit version), Windows Vista (32-bit, 64-bit
version), and Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit version) operating systems.

Connecting the USB Cable
Connect a USB cable (commercially available USB cable) to the USB port of the instrument.
• To avoid faults, do not disconnect or reconnect the USB cable during instrument
operation.
• Connect the instrument and the computer to a common earth ground. Using different grounds could result in potential difference between the instrument and the
computer. Potential difference on the USB cable can result in malfunctions and
faults.

• Make these settings before connecting to a network. Changing settings while connected can
duplicate IP addresses of other network devices, and incorrect address information may otherwise be presented to the network.
• The instrument does not support DHCP (automatic IP address assignment) on a network.

IP address
Subnet mask
Default Gateway
Each network device must be set to a unique address.
The instrument supports IP version 4, with IP addresses indicated as four decimal octets, e.g.,
"192.168.0.1".
This setting is for separating the IP address into the network address that indicates the network and
the host address that indicates the instrument. On this instrument, the subnet mask is represented as
four decimal numbers separated by ". " such as "255.255.255.0."
When the computer and instrument are on different but overlapping networks (subnets), this IP address specifies the device to serve as the gateway between the networks.
If the computer and instrument are connected one-to-one, no gateway is used, and the instrument's
default setting "0.0.0.0" can be kept as is.

Chapter 2 Model IM3570 Connection and Setting
Example 1. Connecting the instrument to an existing network
When connecting the instrument to an existing network, the network settings need to be confirmed in
advance.
An IP address which is not the same as that of another network device needs to be assigned.
Confirm the following items with the network administrator, and write them down.
Example 2. Connecting multiple instruments to a single computer using a hub
When building a local network with no outside connection, the following private IP addresses are recommended.
Example of private IP address:
IP Address ...............Computer: 192.168.0.100
Instrument: 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3...
(Set an IP address that differs from that of other network devices.)
Subnet Mask............255.255.255.0
Default Gateway ......OFF(0.0.0.0)
Example 3. Connecting one instrument to a single computer using the 9642 LAN Cable
The 9642 LAN Cable can be used with its supplied connection adapter to connect one instrument to one
computer, in which case the IP address is freely settable. Use the recommended private IP addresses.
IP Address ...............Computer: 192.168.0.100
Instrument: 192.168.0.1 (Set to a different IP address than the computer.)
Subnet Mask............255.255.255.0
Default Gateway ......OFF(0.0.0.0)
