Agilent 34410A table and computer communication

1. Interface Selection

Avometer is factory selected as Hp-ib interface, should be selected as RS-232 interface

E:I/O Menu–2:interface

Select RS-232

2. Setting the baud rate

Default 9600

E:I/O Menu–3:baud Rate

Select 9600

3. Set the Parity check

No parity check

E:I/O menu–4:parity

Select no check (8 data bits)

4. Serial Control Settings

9600/8/n/1

Baud rate/Data bit/parity/stop bit

5. Serial port to send data

The serial port sends the data to the Agilent table, must end with the carriage return line wrap

Enter ($0d)

Line Break ($0a)

6. Ctrl-c command

Eliminate any pending output data through the RS-232 interface cleanup operation during the process

Ctrl-c ($03)

7. Initialize the serial port

(SCPI command syntax, be sure to pay attention to the case of letters)

*rst//Reset the multimeter to power-up configuration

System:remote//The multimeter is placed in the remote control mode of RS-232 operation

8. Reading individual data

1) MEASure:VOLTage:DC?

Presets and performs DC voltage measurements at specified ranges and resolutions, and transports readings to the output buffers

2) CONFigure:VOLTage:DC?

Preset and configure the multimeter to perform DC voltage measurements at the specified range and resolution. This command does not start the measurement and requires:

READ? To take readings. Note: If you send two or more query commands without reading the response of the first command, you try to read the second command, and the multimeter may get an error

9. Read continuous data

From the multimeter to take data (through the trigger, the following each command between the best delay of 100 milliseconds, the multimeter will probably need 20ms of command settling time)

*CLS//Clear Buffer

CONF:VOLT:DC//Take DC voltage

Trigger:count 3600//Total read 3,600 data

Trig:del 1//delay 1 sec READ? Reading data
