6 TOS5300_INTERFACE

Installing the VISA library

VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) is a specification for standard software that is used to connect instruments. VISA was defined by the IVI Foundation.

A VISA library is required to use the software application. The VISA library (NI-VISA, Keysight VISA, or KI-VISA) must be installed on the controller (Windows).

One of the VISA libraries (driver software implemented in compliance with the VISA specifications) below is necessary.

• NI-VISA by National Instruments (Ver. 5.1.1 or later)

• Keysight VISA by Keysight Technologies (Keysight IO Libraries Suite 16.0 or later)

• KI-VISA Ver. 5.0.4 or later

• Do not install multiple VISA libraries on the same PC. Doing so may cause errors.

• If NI-VISA or Keysight VISA is already installed on your PC, you do not need to install KI-VISA.

KI-VISA is an original VISA library developed by Kikusui Electronics Corporation that supports the IVI VISA specifications 5.0. You can download the most recent version of this library from the Kikusui Electronics Corporation website (https://www.kikusui.co.jp/en/ download/).

Remote Control

Message Overview

This chapter gives an overview of remote control messages. It then explains topics such as the make-up of the SCPI commands that are used for remote control and the command syntax.

Message Overview

The information that is transferred between the controller (the PC) and the TOS5300 Series is referred to as “messages.”

The TOS5300 Series uses the SCPI language for these messages.

The messages that the PC sends to the TOS5300 Series are commands. The messages that the TOS5300 Series sends to the PC are responses.

Commands are used to execute functions or change settings on the TOS5300 Series or to query its settings or status. Responses are used to return the product’s settings or status.

SCPI command syntax

Command hierarchy

SCPI is an ASCII-based command language that was designed for test and measuring equipment. The command structure is composed of the common roots and nodes that are the building blocks of the SCPI subsystem. A command consists of a program header, parameters, and punctuation marks.

The following table uses the SYSTem subsystem as an example to explain the hierarchy.

Program header Parameter Node level

:SYSTem Root node

:CONFigure 2nd level

:BEEPer 2nd level

:VOLume 3rd level

:FAIL <numeric> 4th level

:PASS <numeric> 4th level

:DATE <nr1>, <nr1>, <nr1> 2nd level

:ERRor 2nd level

[:NEXT] <code>, “<description>” 3rd level

• A colon (:) separates a higher node from a lower node.

Command syntax

In this manual, SCPI commands are expressed in the following format.

Example:

SYSTem:CONFigure:BEEPer:VOLume:PASS {<numeric>|MINimum|MAXimu

• SCPI commands can be written in long form (with all the characters) or in short form (omitting the lowercase characters). SCPI commands can be transmitted in either long form or short form.

• SCPI commands are not case sensitive. VOLT, Volt, and volt are all received as the short form of the VOLTage command. VOLUME, Volume, and volume are all received as the long form of the VOLume command.

• A space separates a program header and its parameters.

• Multiple parameters are separated by commas.

• Compound commands can be created by concatenating two commands with a semicolon.

10 TOS5300_INTERFACE

Message Overview

Example:

SYSTem:CONFigure:BEEPer:VOLume:FAIL MINimum;PASS MINimum

This compound command sends the same commands as the two following commands.

SYSTem:CONFigure:BEEPer:VOLume:FAIL MINimum SYSTem:CONFigure:BEEPer:VOLume:PASS MINimum

In the first command (SYSTem:CONFigure:BEEPer:VOLume:FAIL), SYSTem:CONFigure:BEEPer: VOLume is set as the path. Therefore, in the second command, SYSTem:CONFigure:BEEPer:VOLume can be omitted.

If you specify a node that is not defined in the current path (except for FAIL and PASS), an error will occur.

• Program headers are separated by colons.

• By using colons and semicolons, you can concatenate commands of different subsystems.

Example:

SENSe:JUDGment MINimum;:SOURce:VOLTage?

There are two root nodes in this compound command: SENSe and SOURce.

When the second command or later begins with a colon, the path that was specified by the previous command is cleared.

• The maximum length of a command that you can transmit on a single line is 128 bytes.

Message Overview

Special symbols and characters

The special symbols and characters that are used in this manual for the SCPI command syntax are explained below.

Symbol or character Description

< >

{ }

[ ]

Character strings inside the < and > symbols indicate program data. Do not include the < and > symbols in the actual program.

Characters and numbers delimited by “|” inside the { and } symbols indicate that one of the delimited items is to be selected.Do not include the { and } symbols in the actual program.

Character strings inside [ and ] indicate optional data. When optional data is not sent with the program, the default value is sent. Do not include the [ and ] symbols in the actual program.

Queries

You can query the settings and status of the TOS5300 Series.

To make a query, append a question mark to the end of the program header section. If the query has parameters, insert a space after the question mark, and then write the parameters.

Example:

VOLTage? MINimum

If you want to send two queries on separate lines, send the second query after you have received the response to the first one. If you send query commands on two lines at the same time, you may receive an incomplete response.

TOS5300_INTERFACE 11

Message Overview

See

Terminating character strings

All commands must be terminated with a valid terminator.

The available terminators are <line feed> (ASCII 0x0A) and EOI (end-or-identify). You can use either of these terminators to terminate a command.

When you terminate a command string, the path is reset to the root level.

CR (ASCII 0x0D) is not a terminator.

Common commands

p. 17

Parameters

There are commands that are common to the IEEE-488.2 and SCPI standards for functions such as resetting devices and performing self-diagnoses. These common commands start with an asterisk (“*”). These commands may have one or multiple parameters.

The SCPI parameter format is derived from the program parameter format that is defined in IEEE

488.2.

The program data expression format that the TOS5300 Series uses is shown below.

Non-numeric parameters

The TOS5300 Series uses the following three parameter types.

Symbol or character Description

Used when a series of ASCII characters are requested. Be sure to enclose strings in single or double quotation marks. The opening and closing quotation marks must match (you cannot mix single and double quotation

String data

(Boolean)

marks). Example: PROGram:NAME "ACW2IR" If you want to include a quotation mark as part of the string, enter consecutive quotation marks (with no characters between them). ASCII codes 20H to 7EH can be used in strings.

Used when only a limited number of values are available for a program setting. Responses are returned in short form. Example: TRIGger:SOURce {IMMediate|BUS|TIMer|TEST}

Used to express a condition of 1 or 0, or ON or OFF. Responses are returned as 1 or 0. Example: SOURce:VOLTage:TIMer:STATe {ON|OFF|1|0}

12 TOS5300_INTERFACE

Numeric parameters

The TOS5300 Series uses the following five parameter types.

Message Overview

Symbol or

character

NR1

NR2

NR3

NRf NRf is a generic term that includes NR1, NR2, and NR3.

Numeric

1 Details are given in the “IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation.”

Description

Represents an integer value.

Represents a real number in floating-point format.

Represents a real number in scientific notation. If 380 is returned in the response data, it is returned as +3.80000+E02. Five decimal places are used.

Represents values such as the decimal point, optional prefixes, and measurement units. Numbers are expressed the same as NRf. MINimum and MAXimum are available as substitutes for declaring certain values. You can also use units such as V, A, and S in numeric parameters. If a value that cannot be assigned is entered, the TOS5300 Series rounds the value to the closest possible value. Example: SYSTem:CONFigure:BEEPer:VOLume:PASS 2.0 SYST:CONF:BEEP:VOL:PASS must be set to a value from 0.0 to 1.0, so even if you attempt to set the value to 2.0, it will be set to 1.0.

Special form numeric parameters

The special form numeric parameters MINimum and MAXimum can be used as substitutes for the actual maximum and minimum values when the parameter is numeric.

The following example sets the volume level of the buzzer that is sounded when a PASS judgment occurs to the minimum value.

SYSTem:CONFigure:BEEPer:VOLume:PASS MINimum

You can query the minimum and maximum values for most parameters.

SOURce:VOLTage:PROTection? MAXimum

Message Overview

Measurement units

The default measurement units are listed below. Commands are accepted even if measurement units are not specified.

• A (current) • V (voltage)

• OHM (resistance) • S (seconds

• HZ (frequency)

The following optional prefixes are supported. If you use optional prefixes, specify the measurement unit.

• G (giga) • MA (mega)

• K (kilo) • M (milli)

• U (micro)

To enter “μ” in a parameter, use “U.” When the measurement unit is “Hz” or “OHM” and you enter “M” in the parameter, the unit will be “mega.”

The unit symbols in the International System of Units contain lowercase characters. The IEEE standard uses uppercase characters. SCPI commands are not case sensitive.
