Chapter 1 TOS9200 GPIB/RS-232CSetup
This is the operation manual designed to remotely control the TOS9200 Series withstanding voltage/insulation resistance tester using the GPIB or RS-232C interface.
Attention is focused on the device message used in remote control.
Before starting remote control, prepare the Operation Manual for the TOS9200
Series and gain a full understanding of the instructions given in the manual.
WARNING
NOTE
• In remote control, an external signal is used to turn a high voltage on/off,
resulting in serious potential danger. To avoid the accidental generation of
a high voltage and prevent workers from touching the device under testing
(hereinafter referred to as a “DUT”), the high-voltage test leadwire, the
high-voltage probe, and the output terminals when a high voltage is being
output, provide full safety measures. Never conduct remote control without
taking proper safety measures.
• When an abnormal voltage occurs on the power line while a remote control operation using GPIB or RS-232C interface, the tester returns PROTECTION (line
voltage monitoring) message. However, when the power of the tester is turned on
while an abnormal voltage occurs already on the power line, the tester cannot
return a message.

2.1.2 RS-232C interface
To use an RS-232C interface, the settings specified below must be made. For the
setting procedure, see "1.2.2 RS-232C settings".
• RS-232C interface communication speed
• RS-232C interface data
• RS-232C interface parity
• RS-232C interface stop bit
Communication with the RS-232C must be regulated by flo
acknowledge message. One-w
ay transmission may make proper communication
difficult. For details on acknowledge messages, see "2.2.1 Messages".
As the RS-232C cable, use an AT-type 9-pin D-SUB female-female cross cable.

2.2.1 Messages
Commands sent from the computer to the tester are referred to as “program messages.” Responses sent from the tester to the computer are referred to as “response
messages.”
Each message is composed of a program-header block and a data block.
Program messages
Program messages are either “command messages” or “query messages.”
Command messages are used to execute specific functions of the tester and to
change settings.
Query messages are used to inquire about the settings and status of the tester.

NOTE
• To describe data using hexadecimals, add “#H.”
(Example) The decimal 10 is expressed as “#H0A” in hexadecimal.
• With the GPIB interface, add “@” to the end of a program message to maintain
the HOLD OFF status until the message has been executed. However, in the event
of a command message terminator with only EOI, use "@@".
Acknowledge message (RS-232C)
Acknowledge messages are used only with the RS-232C interface. They are sent
from the tester to the controller, and are used to confirm that the handling of a program message has been completed.
Acknowledge header
Acknowledge messages contain only a header composed of character strings in
ASCII codes. The following two acknowledge messages are used:
• OK : Normal termination
• ERROR : Abnormality such as a syntax error
Using the SILENT command message, settings can be made to specify whether to

2.2.2 Terminators
A program-message terminator is used to end a program message. A response-message terminator is used to end a response message.
• Program-message terminators
Any of the following can be used as a program-message terminator. No settings necessary:
CR+LF+EOI, LF, LF+EOI, CR+EOI
• Response-message terminators
By default, CR+LF+EOI is used. It can be changed to one of the following in
accordance with the
CR+LF+EOI, LF+EOI, EOI, CR+EOI
TRM command message. EOI is used only for GPIB.
NOTE
• EOI is exclusively used for GPIB as a program-message terminator and a
response-message terminator.

• If it is not known whether a DUT or jig is grounded, never select GUARD.

CAUTION
• When the tester’s LOW terminal is connected to the HIGH or LOW terminal on the earth continuity tester TOS6200, the ammeter will make measurement errors if GUARD is selected. This is due to the fact that the
