Figure 1.1 Rack Mount Four Channel Fluoroptic Thermometer—Model 790

System Overview

The Fluoroptic thermometer is a temperature measurement instrument. The probes used with the instrument are designed to be minimally disturbing and capable of functioning in otherwise hostile environments.

The instruments may be used for many applications, including the following:

• Microwave food and packaging development

• Electronics testing

• Semiconductor manufacturing

• High-voltage and electrical-power environments

Features

The instrument provides the latest technology in Fluoroptic thermometers. It provides many features, including the following:

• Digital signal processing (provides less noise and makes the signal easier to control)

• Programmable gain (each channel is controlled separately)

• MS-DOS

operating system and PC bus

• RS-232 serial port

• Analog output ±5 V standard

Introduction 1.1

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Options

The following options are available:

• IEEE-488 General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) interface

• Analog output ±10 V range—replaces ±5 V analog output

• Analog current loop (4 to 20 mA)—replaces ±5 V analog output

Note

The instrument may physically have both an RS-232 port and an IEEE-488 interface. However, only one may be active at any time.

Major Components

The instrument consists of the following components:

• The main unit, which contains the optical, analog, and digital electronics of the instrument, and a flashlamp

• The probes, each consisting of a fiber-optic cable with a temperature sensor at one end and a connector at the other end

• The system firmware, which is programmed into the main unit and uses a DOS-based operating system

Temperature data is collected when the sensor attached to the probe is activated by a burst of light from the flashlamp (which is mounted inside the instrument). The sensor then sends back an optical signal which is processed by the analog and digital electronics of the instrument to determine temperature.

Temperature data is sent to the front panel display, the analog outputs, and the digital output port (RS-232 port or optional IEEE-488 interface).

Main Unit

The electronics and flashlamp are in the main unit of the instrument. The electronics of the main unit include a CPU board for computation and a system board for data storage and control.

The display panel of the main unit can display system status messages and temperature data, using up to 24 alphanumeric characters.

Probes

The instrument is designed to function with a wide variety of probes designed and produced by LUXTRON Corporation. Each probe consists of a fiber-optic cable with a connector at one end and temperature sensor mounted at the other end. Contact the LUXTRON Sales Department for more information.

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Firmware

The instrument is set up, operated, and maintained using its built-in, menu-driven firmware. It can be controlled locally or remotely:

• Locally, from the front of the instrument. The front panel of the instrument front panel has a single-line display of 24 characters and a set of six keys for running the firmware.

• Remotely, from the RS-232 or IEEE-488 interface on the back of the instrument. The instrument may be set up and controlled by an external computer or modem.

Main Menu and Menu Hierarchy

The Main menu provides access to the three major modes—RUN, CAL, and SETUP. Press the YES, PREV, or or

SETUP, respectively (see Figure 1.2).

– (minus) buttons to select RUN, CAL,

RUN CAL SETUP

NEXTMENUYES PREV

Figure 1.2 Main Menu

The Calibration and Setup menus are organized in hierarchical form:

• First level menu selections These selections are available only in Calibration and Setup modes.

In Calibration mode (see the section, “Calibration Mode”), they indicate a procedure. In Setup mode, the selections describe an instrument parameter or function that may be accessed, followed by a question mark (

?). However, the question mark is not included when

the parameter or function is already 24 characters in length (such as the CHANGE TEMPERATURE UNITS parameter.

• Second level menu selections These selections are found in Setup mode (see the section, “Setup

Mode”). The selections allow you to change an instrument parameter or function, and are usually followed by a colon (

:), and sometimes

by a question mark (?).

Setup and Calibration mode, as well as Run mode, are described in Chapter 3, “Using the Instrument.”

When the instrument is received, inspect the container in which it is packaged prior to opening to ensure there is no obvious damage which may have occurred during shipping. If you have reason to suspect that it may have been damaged in shipping, you must immediately file a claim with the carrier before contacting LUXTRON.

Open the shipping container and carefully remove the instrument from its packaging material, at which time you should assemble and test it.

Each system component should be checked against the enclosed packing list and inspected for signs of visible damage. The standard instrument is shipped with the following items:

• One Fluoroptic Thermometer instrument

• One user manual

• One grounded three-conductor power cord

• Various Fluoroptic temperature probes and other supply items, as ordered

• One shielded RS-232 cable

Contact the LUXTRON Customer Service Department immediately if there is any visible damage to the instrument or probes or if any items are missing. If everything is in order, save the packing material for possible future use.

In the event of a later service question, see Appendix F, “Warranty and Service.”

Installing the Instrument

The rack-mount version of this equipment is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Note that the four plastic mounting feet can be removed without loosening or removing any hardware inside the instrument. This equipment can be used in any location, as long as the environmental requirements are met, as listed in Appendix A, “Specifications.”

Caution

This equipment is designed to be used with a grounded threeconductor power cord. Ensure that you have an adequately grounded power source before proceeding.

To install the instrument

1. If rack mounting the instrument, remove the four plastic mounting feet and secure instrument in the rack, using the four sets of screws, washers, and nuts.

2. Plug socket end of power cord into receptacle on back panel of instrument, and the other end into grounded power outlet rated as follows:

• Input voltage 90 to 250 V

• Input frequency 47 to 63 Hz

3. Power-on and test instrument per instructions in the section, “Testing the Instrument.”

4. Remove black vinyl caps from front panel probe connectors (caps are shipped on the instrument to prevent dust contamination). Save the caps and place them on front-panel probe connectors when instrument is not in use.

5. Unpack a probe and remove the red vinyl protective cap from a connector.

Note

Do not uncoil the probe until instrument power-on testing is complete.

6. Screw probe metal connector into a front panel probe connector.

Testing the Instrument

After installing the instrument, power-on and test it to ensure it is working properly.

To test the instrument

1. Power-on the instrument, using the power switch on the front panel. The display scrolls through the following single-line messages,

in the order listed:

LUXTRON CORPORATION (MODEL NUMBER) (C) COPYRIGHT (PART NUMBER) (FIRMWARE VERSION) RUN CAL SETUP *

Unpacking and Installing the Instrument 2.5

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Note

Instrument warm-up time is 15 minutes from a cold start or initial power-on. For minimum warm-up time and maximum equipment life, keep the system powered on at all times, even when it is not in use.

The instrument is now ready to use, as indicated by the blinking asterisk (“*”) at the far right of the display. The Main menu lists the following three modes of operation:

• RUN

• CAL

• SETUP

2. Press YES to automatically begin taking temperature measurements.

3. Press any button to stop taking measurements and return to Main menu.

Setup, calibration, operation, and diagnostics are run from the Main menu, as discussed in Chapter 3, “Using the Instrument.” Select menu items by pressing the appropriate buttons below the front panel display or by using a computer connected to the instrument, as discussed in Appendix C, “RS-232 Serial Output Port.”

Probe Use and Handling

Handled properly, probes should last indefinitely. Appendix B, “Instrument Probes,” discusses how to care for and maintain the probes.

Observe the following precautions when using the probes:

• Flexibility Each probe is made from a single strand of silica fiber or plastic-clad

silica (PCS) fiber. These fibers are flexible. However, any fiber may be damaged or broken if it is bento too sharply.

• Temperature range Using a probe outside its intended temperature range or in chemical

environments may shorten the life span of the probe.

• Care and storage Each probe is supplied with a red vinyl cap over the connector.

Replacing this cap when the probe is not in use prevents dirt from accumulating on the open fiber end. Occasionally clean the connector with spectrograde isopropyl alcohol or methanol.

Calibration Mode

The instrument may be calibrated after completing setup. Calibration increases measurement accuracy and can be done using an independent temperature reference standard (such as a constant temperature bath). Use Calibration mode for initial setup or when the application changes and different types of probes or system devices are required.

Notes

This calibration feature is normally off (disabled). If the probes have been changed, and/or the application is changing, recalibration may be necessary. For applications where an absolute accuracy of ±2 °C (±3.6 °F) is sufficient, it is not necessary to calibrate most probes. (The Micro-Tip [SMT] probe is an exception.)

Uncalibrated, the instrument is accurate to ±2 °C.

Once calibrated, the instrument provides an accuracy to ±0.1 °C (±0.18 °F) at the calibration temperature and a precision (repeatability) of ±0.1 °C root mean square (RMS) at eight samples per measurement.

Once the instrument is calibrated, accuracy can be traced through the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) if the temperature reference instrument itself is NIST-calibrated and the following conditions are met:

• The probes have not been disconnected from the instrument since being calibrated against a NIST-traceable reference standard

• The instrument has not been recalibrated since the NIST-traceable calibration

Notes

SEL probe cannot be callibrated in a temperature bath.

For maximum accuracy, calibrate the instrument:

• When operating the probe at temperatures greater than

±8 °C (±46 °F) from the original calibration point

• If a probe is bent more sharply than a 51 mm (2 in) radius

• If a probe is replaced with a new or different probe

To select Calibration mode, press PREV on the front panel of the instrument.

Figure 3.2 illustrates the Calibration mode menu tree. Table 3.3 defines

CAL menu selection and describes how to change the parameters

each of each.

4.0 Theory of Operation

This chapter discusses the temperature sensor and how the instrument calculates temperature measurements.

Temperature Sensor

The temperature sensor is the key element in the system. It is mounted on the end of the probe. The sensor consists of a small amount of a temperature sensitive phosphor, which is manganese-activated magnesium fluorogermanate. When excited with blue-violet light, the phosphor exhibits a deep red fluorescence.

Figure 4.1 illustrates the temperature spectrum of the phosphor, along with the transmission of the filters used to isolate the exciting and fluorescent radiation. The spectrum is measured at room temperature. The dashed lines in the figure show the passbands of source and detector filters.

Figure 4.2 Cross-Sectional View of the Optics

After the excitation pulse ends, the intensity of fluorescent radiation decays. The fluorescent decay time is measured and then correlated with the phosphor temperature by comparing the measured decay time with a digital look-up table, as illustrated in Figure 4.3.

Figure 4.4 schematically illustrates the method for measuring the decay time of the phosphor sensor. Individual Data Points are used to perform a mathematical curve fit to calculate t. The measured value of time is then compared with the values stored in the calibration table and the corresponding temperature is displayed. The temperature data is transmitted to the front panel display, the analog output, and the digital output (RS-232 port or optional IEEE-488 interface).

How Temperature Measurements are Calculated

The instrument calculates temperatures based on the SET SAMPLES PER MEAS and SET MEAS UPDATE TIME Setup parameters. Figures 4.5 through 4.7 illustrate three examples of temperature measurement.

Parameter Values

SAMPLES/MEASUREMENT = 2 MEASUREMENT UPDATE TIME =

Description

The flashlamp, which flashes at a rate of 4 flashes per second, takes 5 seconds to gather the 20 samples required for a measurement (5 sec x 4 flashes/sec = 20 samples). Increasing the measurement update time increases the life of the flashlamp bulb.

After taking the samples, the flashlamp is inactive for 14:55 minutes, until the next measurement period (15 min - 5 sec = 14:55 minutes).

5.0 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

This chapter discusses the following:

• Equipment maintenance

• Probe and connector maintenance

• Technical information

• Troubleshooting

• Error and informational messages

• Instrument reinitialization

• Flashlamp replacement

Equipment Maintenance

The instrument is shipped with black vinyl caps over the front panel probe connectors to prevent dust contamination. Remove and save the caps before using instrument. Replace caps on the front panel probe connectors when instrument is not in use.

Probe and Connector Maintenance

Maintenance of the instrument essentially involves keeping the probes clean to ensure accurate temperature readings. Each probe is supplied with a red cap over the connector. Replacing this cap when the probe is not in use prevents dirt from accumulating on the open fiber end. Dirty fibers reduce transmission quality and performance.

If the polished fiber end in the center of the connector is dirty, wipe it with a cotton swab moistened with spectrograde isopropyl alcohol or methanol. For more information, including sterilization procedures, see Appendix B, “Instrument Probes.”

Technical Information

LUXTRON Corporation makes available, upon request, circuit diagrams, component parts lists, descriptions, and calibration instructions to assist the user’s technical personnel to repair those parts of the equipment that LUXTRON designates as repairable. Information for contacting LUXTRON is provided in Appendix F, “Warranty and Service.”

Flashlamp Replacement

Although the flashlamp is designed to last one or more years in normal use, it may eventually need to be replaced. You can extend the life of the flashlamp by increasing the MEASUREMENT UPDATE TIME Setup parameter, as described in Figure 4.5, “Example of Slow Temperature Measurement,” in Chapter 4, “Theory of Operation.”

The flashlamp bulb requires replacement when

• Bulb does not flash

• Bulb flashes erratically

• Connector does not emit a visible blue-violet light while in Run mode (check by disconnecting a probe and look straight into the instrument connector)

Caution

Flashlamp bulb replacement requires realignment of the flashlamp assembly to optimize the signal level, followed by instrument calibration. Return the unit to LUXTRON for flashlamp bulb replacement.

Appendix B: Instrument Probes

This appendix discusses how to use and care for probes supplied with the Fluoroptic thermometers.

Overview

The instrument uses both immersion and surface measurement (industrial) probes, depending on the application.

Immersion probes may be used to measure surface temperatures, but there is an unavoidable offset. For more information, see the section, “Using Immersion Probes for Surface Measurement.”

Note

Using Immersion Probes for Surface Measurement

Immersion probes may be used to measure surface temperatures; however, there is an unavoidable offset. Typical offsets are as follows, depending on the probe:

• -5 to -7 °C at 100 °C (-9 to -12.6 °F at 212 °F)

• -10 to -15 °C at 200 °C (-18 to -27 °F at 392 °F)

For vacuum measurements, these offsets are roughly doubled. For best results when measuring surface temperatures with these immersion probes, make contact with the side of the probe tip.

Instrument Probes B.1

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Industrial Probe Use and Handling

Fiber-optic probes last indefinitely if handled properly. The following sections provide guidelines for using the probes.

Caution

Use and care for the probes as outlined in this appendix to avoid causing damage to the probe and/or to the instrument.

Probe Flexibility

Each probe is made from a single strand of all-silica or plastic-clad silica (PCS) fiber. These fibers exhibit varying degrees of flexibility, based on probe materials and thickness. Fibers may be damaged or broken if sharply bent.

The majority of probes are cabled with Kevlar fiber, which significantly strengthens them. Bending uncabled probes to a radius of less than one inch is not recommended.

All-silica fiber probes are stiffer and more susceptible to signal losses, caused by bending, than other fibers.

Probe Temperature Range

Using a probe outside its intended temperature range or chemical environments may shorten its life. Probe upper temperature limit is restricted by the materials used in the jacket and cladding. Cladding of the PCS fiber oxidizes and deteriorates if exposed to temperatures above 200 °C (392 °F) for an extended period. The perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) jacket melts at 300 °C (572 °F).

The lower limit of operation of each probe type is set primarily by the optical transmission of the fiber used. Only all-silica fibers (used in some probes) have acceptable transmission at very low temperatures.

Caring for Probe When Not in Use

Each probe is supplied with a cap over the connector. Replacing this cap when the probe is not in use prevents dirt from accumulating on the open fiber end.

A dirty connector reduces transmission and performance of the probe. If the polished fiber end in the center of the connector requires cleaning, wipe it with a cotton swab moistened with spectrograde isopropanol or methanol.

B.2 Model 710, 712, and 790 Fluoroptic Thermometer User Manual

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Probe Length

Signal level decreases as the fiber length increases. The losses experienced vary by fiber type. The use of multiple connectors and extensions also reduces signal level. A good rule of thumb is that the signal level is reduced by half for each additional connection.

The lower the signal, the worse the signal-to-noise ratio. This increases the number of samples per measurement needed to achieve a specific level of precision. Increasing the number of samples per measurement improves the precision and accuracy of the reading because more samples are averaged together to obtain a measurement. However, excessively low signal levels may fall outside the normal operating range of the instrument, resulting in a

P-LOW error message.

Appendix C: RS-232 Serial Output Port

This appendix discusses the serial port of the instrument, as well as complete setup and diagnostics for this feature.

Overview

The serial port on the instrument meets Electronics Industry Association (EIA) standard RS-232. This port is used for communication with another digital instrument (such as a serial printer, terminal, or computer). It can be used as an output port for logging measurements or as an input port for remote control of the system. When used in the latter mode, the system is controllable from a computer or terminal as it is from the front panel.

Note

The instrument may physically have both an RS-232 port and an IEEE-488 interface. However, only one may be active at any time.

RS-232 Port Setup

Using a computer to control the instrument provides the ability to automate the data acquisition process, and allows totally remote operation of the instrument. Setting up the instrument for computer control involves use of a complex command structure; however, once done, it provides an exceedingly fast operating environment.

The following sections describe the following parameters as they relate to the RS-232 setup:

• RS-232 BAUD RATE

• SAMPLES/MEASUREMENT and MEASUREMENT UPDATE TIME

• DATASAVE FEATURE (not available for use)

RS-232 Serial Output Port C.1

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

RS-232 Baud Rate

The first setup parameter for the RS-232 port is the baud rate. Baud rate is the number of bits transmitted per second over the serial port. Values are 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200 (default is 9600). Set the baud rate to correspond to the baud rate of the peripheral device.

To change the baud rate

1. Press – at Main menu to access Setup mode.

2. Repeatedly press NEXT until screen displays the message,

CHANGE DIGITAL OUTPUT?”

“

3. Repeatedly press YES until screen displays the message, “

CHANGE BAUD RATE?”

4. Press YES to display the message, “

RS-232 BAUD RATE:” and

currently-selected value.

5. Press – or + to scroll through available rates (2400, 4800, 9600, and

19200). Default is 9600. Stop scrolling when desired rate appears.

6. Press YES to save selection.

7. Press MENU to return to Main menu.

SAMPLES/MEASUREMENT and MEASUREMENT UPDATE TIME

It is important to understand the relationship between the SAMPLES/MEASUREMENT and MEASUREMENT UPDATE TIME parameters when setting up the RS-232 port:

SAMPLES/MEASUREMENT sets the number of samples taken for each

• measurement (default is 8)

MEASUREMENT UPDATE TIME sets how often the measurement is updated

• or the time between measurements (default is CONTINUOUS)

DATASAVE Feature

Although this option is available for selection, it is currently nonfunctional.

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Hardware Configurations for the RS-232 Port

To use the RS-232 port of the instrument, use a shielded RS-232 cable that is wired straight through (for example, pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3, and so forth).

It is recommended that a fully shielded RS-232 cable be used in electrically noisy environments. Inside the instrument, each data line on the RS-232 port is capacitively filtered to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) noise susceptibility.

Caution

Use the shielded RS-232 cable provided with this instrument to ensure compliance with the pertinent RF emission limits governing this instrument.

The RS-232 port of the instrument is configured as data communications equipment (DCE). Table C.1 describes the active pins of the RS-232 port.

Control Commands to Test System

To test the system

1. Send CTRL-T (14h) to confirm the instrument is in Standby mode. This assures instrument is in Standby mode at the Main menu

and not running. If the instrument is already in Standby mode, it echoes “

?” instead of “CTRL-T”.

2. Send CTRL-R (12h) to enable Run mode. The instrument display now shows temperature data.

3. Send CTRL-T (14h) to return to Standby mode and return to the Main menu.

Repeat steps 2 and 3, as required.

Control Commands for Disabling the Front Panel Buttons

Disabling the control panel through the serial port disables the front panel display and buttons. Once disabled, the instrument can be controlled only through the RS-232 port. Table C.6 lists the front panel control commands.

Table C.7 Remote Mode Control Commands

While the instrument is in Remote Run mode, the Initiate Reading command starts a measurement cycle and disables the transmission of digital output.

For example, to take a single measurement using the remote enable command, follow the sequence described below.

To take a single measurement using the remote enable command

1. Send CTRL-T (14h) to confirm instrument is in Standby mode. This assures the instrument is in Standby mode at the Main menu

and not running. If the instrument is in Standby mode, it echoes

?” instead of “CTRL-T”.

“

2. Send CTRL-E (05h) to enable Remote mode. This places the instrument in Remote mode and locks out the front

panel buttons. The only way to control the instrument at this point is through the serial port.

3. Send CTRL-R (12h) to enable Remote Run mode. Instrument is now ready to take measurements.

4. Send CTRL-I (09h) to initiate reading. This starts one measurement cycle, stores the information in the

buffer, and generates a CTRL-S (13h) to disable transmission of digital output.

5. Send CTRL-Q (11h) to enable output to the RS-232 port. This sends the temperature information currently stored in the buffer.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5, as required.

7. Send CTRL-T (14h) to return to Standby mode.

8. Send CTRL-D (04h) to disable Remote mode and return to the Main menu.

RS-232 Serial Output Port C.9

CTRL-F flushes the buffer and starts transmissions with new data. In contrast, CTRL-Q outputs the existing data in the buffer at the time it was disabled, then continues with the new data.

Remote Instrument Calibration

Remote calibration enables a host computer to be used to calibrate the instrument. For a host system to execute the calibration sequence, the program must follow the sequence outlined below.

To execute the calibration sequence from a host computer

1. Send CTRL-T (14h) to confirm the instrument is in Standby mode. This assures the instrument is in Standby mode at the Main menu and

not running. If the instrument is in Standby mode, it echoes “ instead of “CTRL-T”.

2. Use the PS remote setup command to select the probes to calibrate.

3. Use the CT remote setup command to change the calibration temperature (see Table C.12).

4. Place probes to be calibrated in a stable temperature reference.

5. Send CTRL-K (0Bh) to start calibration sequence. The calibration sequence is completely automatic.

If it becomes necessary to abort the calibration sequence, send CTRLA (01h) during the sequence.

Upon completion, the instrument returns to the Main menu and displays one of the following messages on the front panel and as output on the serial port:

•

U means the temperature is unstable. The temperature readings were

unstable during the calibration period and prevented the instrument from calibrating. The internal reference table is used for temperature conversion for this channel only. When this error occurs, ensure the temperature reference is not drifting and recalibrate, as necessary. See the section, “Calibration Mode,” in Chapter 3, “Using the Instrument,” for calibration instructions.

C means that calibration completed successfully without any errors.

• The instrument is ready for use.

These codes appear in character position 5 of each data field. If a for a channel, that channel is automatically deselected.

The calibration offset used for data display is the last set of calibration data. If calibration is performed at the wrong temperature, recalibrate the instrument.

Remote Setup and Command Syntax

Remote setup has two basic functions:

• Configure the system for a measurement

• Query the existing configuration

Remote setup is available only when the instrument is displaying the Main menu. Therefore, the instrument must be displaying the Main menu prior to remote setup.

All remote setup commands sent to the instrument are echoed back to the sender. All ASCII Carriage Returns (0Dh) that are echoed are normally followed by an ASCII line feed (0Ah). An invalid command results in a single “

Appendix D: Optional IEEE-488 Interface

This appendix discusses the optional IEEE-488 interface, as well as complete setup and diagnostics for this option. The IEEE-488 option is used for communicating with other computers. It can be used as an output port for logging measurements, and/or as an input port for remote setup or control.

Note

The instrument may have an RS-232 port and IEEE-488 interface. However, only one may be active at any time.

IEEE-488 Overview

In the early 1970s, Hewlett Packard defined an interface called the “HPIB” (HP Interface Bus). This became an IEEE standard in 1975, with minor revisions added since, and is now know as the IEEE-488 Interface Bus or General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB). The electrical, mechanical, and functional requirements of the bus are defined in IEEE Standard

488.1-1987 (Reaff 1994), IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation.

The IEEE-488 standard(pr oduct number SH11346) is available from the IEEE by contacting the IEEE Service Center by way of the following:

• Mail: 445 Hoes Lane PO Box 1331 Piscataway, NJ 08855

• Telephone: (800) 678-4333 (908) 981-0060

• Website: http://www.ieee.org/bookstore

Note

Only IEEE members may place orders over the telephone.

The IEEE-488 interface allows the simultaneous connection of several different instruments on a common bus. There is usually a system controller, either a dedicated piece of equipment, or a personal computer (PC). The IEEE-488 interface hardware and firmware for the instrument were tested using an IBM-compatible PC with a National Instrument GPIB-PCII controller card.

Optional IEEE-488 Interface D.1

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

How the IEEE-488 Interface Works

The controller sends commands to the instrument to change its operating parameters, and directs the instrument to take measurements. The results of the measurements are either displayed locally by the controller, sent to a printer, or saved on a disk for later processing.

IEEE-488 Interface Specifications

Table D.1 lists the basic IEEE-488 interface specifications.

Setup for the IEEE-488 Interface

Before connecting the instrument into an IEEE-488 system, determine the unique device address to be used by the instrument.

Note

The instrument must use a unique address on the IEEE bus or it conflicts with other devices using the same address.

Remote Instrument Operation

The instrument must be in Standby mode to send and receive data or commands. The instrument enters standby mode when powered on. The blinking asterisk in the display indicates the instrument is in Standby mode.

The instrument can be controlled or programmed by sending the proper control character. Table D.3 lists the commands available through the IEEE interface.

Table D.3 IEEE-488 Command Set

Control Commands

There are two ways to control the instrument over the digital port:

• Run the instrument continuously

• Take measurements on the command of the controller

D.4 Model 710, 712, and 790 Fluoroptic Thermometer User Manual

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

To run the instrument in Continuous mode

1. Send CTRL-T (14h) to confirm instrument is in Standby mode.

This assures the instrument is in Standby mode at the Main menu and not running. If the instrument is in Standby mode, it echoes

?” instead of “CTRL-T”.

“

2. Send CTRL-R (12h) to enable Operate mode. This causes the

instrument to run continuously and take temperature readings at the Measurement Update rate selected in the Setup menu.

3. Wait for an SRQ from the instrument (see the section, “Serial Poll

Status Byte”). Do a serial poll and verify the instrument has a measurement ready (MEAS bit set in the serial poll status register).

4. Wait for the controller to read data from the instrument before

overwriting data with the next measurement.

5. Send CTRL-T (14h) listen command to stop the instrument and

return to Standby mode.

To take measurements one at a time

1. Send CTRL-T (14h) to confirm instrument is in Standby mode.

2. Send CTRL-E (05h) to enable Remote mode and lock out front panel

buttons. The only way to control the instrument at this point is through the digital port.

3. Send CTRL-R (12h) to enable Operate mode. This causes the

instrument to run continuously and take temperature readings at the Measurement Update rate selected in the Setup menu.

4. Send CTRL-I (09h) to initiate temperature reading. This causes the

instrument to flash until it achieves the specified number of samples per measurement. The

SAMPLES/MEASUREMENT parameter can be

changed in the Setup menu.

5. Wait for an SRQ from the instrument. Do a serial poll and verify

instrument is ready. When the

RDY bit is set, the instrument has

acquired a measurement and is waiting for transmit instructions.

6. Send CTRL-Q (11h) talk command to enable output, then wait for

an SRQ from the instrument. Perform a serial poll, and verify that the instrument has a measurement (MEAS bit set in the serial poll status register).

7. Wait for the controller to read the measurement.

Repeat steps 4 through 7 as required. Subsequent CTRL-I submissions cause the instrument to start another measurement.

8. When finished, return instrument to Standby mode by sending

CTRL-T (14h), followed by CTRL-D (04h) remote disable command.

Optional IEEE-488 Interface D.5

Remote Instrument Calibration

A host controller can calibrate the instrument by using the Remote calibration feature. For a host system to execute the calibration sequence, the program must follow the sequence outlined below.

To execute the calibration sequence from a host computer

1. Send CTRL-T (14h) to confirm instrument is in Standby mode. This assures the instrument is in Standby mode at the Main menu and

not running. If the instrument is in Standby mode, it echoes “ instead of “CTRL-T”.

2. Use the remote programming commands, PS and CT, to select the probes and set calibration temperature (see Table D.9).

3. Put the probes in a temperature reference (such as a water bath), then bring probes to equilibrium

4. Send CTRL-K (0Bh) to start the calibration sequence. Calibration takes less than a minute, is completely automatic, and returns to Standby mode when complete. The instrument posts an SRQ when calibration is complete. Perform a serial poll and verify the instrument has a measurement (the MEAS bit is set in the serial poll status register). The controller must then perform a read operation obtain calibration results.

?”

If you need to abort the calibration sequence, send CTRL-A (01h) during the sequence.

After calibration, one of the following codes is sent as part of the status subfield for each probe being calibrated:

CU means unstable. The temperature readings were unstable during

• the calibration period and prevented the instrument from calibrating. When this error occurs, ensure the temperature reference is not drifting and recalibrate, as necessary. See the section, “Calibration Mode,” in Chapter 3, “Using the Instrument,” for calibration instructions.

CC means that calibration completed successfully without any error.

• The instrument is ready for use.

Serial Poll Status Byte

After performing a remote measurement or a remote calibration, the instrument indicates that a measurement is complete by asserting the service request (SRQ) lead. This acts as an “interrupt” to the controller, causing it to poll active bus devices to determine the source of the request.

Table D.4 lists the serial poll, status byte definitions.

FULL and ABBR Digital Output Message Formats

When using the FULL or ABBR digital output formats, all remote programming commands use the equal sign (“=”) instead of a space between the command and parameters.

Figure D.12 Remote Programming Command Format for

FULL or ABBR Digital Output Formats

For more information, see the section, “FULL and ABBR Digital Output Message Formats,” in Appendix C, ”RS-232 Serial Output Port.”

Time Stamps

An optional time and date string is available on the digital output. This can be turned on or off from the front panel, or over the digital port (using the DF command). When enabled, a time/date SRQ occurs once a minute, or immediately after the next measurement update (whichever is longer). See the section, “Serial Poll Status Byte,” for additional information. Figure D.13 shows a sample time/date string.

Appendix E: Analog Output Options

This appendix discusses the following options:

• Analog Output Voltage (AOV) ±5 V Standard and ±10 V option

• Analog Output Current (AOC) option

Analog Output Voltage (AOV)

This option, which is programmable from the Setup menu (see the section, “Setup Mode,” in Chapter 3, “Using the Instrument”), provides an analog output voltage for each channel. You can control both the scale factor (mV/degree) and offset temperature (the temperature at which the analog output voltage is 0 V). The analog output voltage has a full scale range of ±5 V, with a resolution of approximately 2.5 mV.

Figure E.1 provides a view of the back panel and analog output pinout.

Figure E.1 Sample Back Panel View with Analog Output Pinout

When the instrument is in Standby mode at the Main menu, the analog output is set to 0 V. In Run mode, the analog output is offset by the measured temperature. For relative measurements, this initial offset can be set to zero. The analog offset sets the temperature at which the analog output outputs 0 V. This temperature can be set anywhere in the operating range. No offset means the output voltage is zero when the temperature is 0 °C or 0 °F.

Temperature Range, and Resolution

If the instrument detects an error during operation, the analog output is set to 0 V. See Chapter 5, “Maintenance and Troubleshooting,” for more information.

If the temperature trip limits are enabled, a high limit trip sets the output to +5 V, and a low limit trip sets the output to -5 V. These signals can be used to power relays or other control devices.

typically

The current loop option replaces the analog voltage output and must be installed by LUXTRON.

The user has control of both the scale factor (µA/degree) and offset temperature (the temperature at which the analog current is 4 mA).

When the instrument is in Standby mode, the analog is set to 4 mA. In Run mode, analog current is offset by measured temperature. For relative measurements, this initial offset can be set to zero. The analog offset sets the temperature that is equivalent to 4 mA. No offset means the current is 4 mA when temperature is 0 °C or 0 °F.
