9 2 Introduction to Programming VXI plug&play Power Products Instrument Drivers VXI plug&play instrument drivers for Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT are now available on the Web at http://www.agilent.com/find/drivers. These instrument drivers provide a high-level programming interface to your Agilent Technologies instrument.
2 - Introduction to Programming 10 6 . To use the VXI plug&play instrument driver, follow the directions in the VXI plug&play online help under “Introduction to Programming”. Accessing Online Help A comprehensive online programming reference is provided with the driver.

Introduction to Programming - 2 13 Types of SCPI Commands SCPI has two types of commands, common and subsystem. ♦ Common commands generally are not related to specfic operation but to controlling overall dc source functions, such as reset, status, and synchronization.
2 - Introduction to Programming 14 Moving Among Subsystems In order to combine commands from different subsystems, you need to be able to reset the header path to a null string within a message. You do this by beginning the command with a colon (:), which discards any previous header path.

2 - Introduction to Programming 16 NOTE: All RS-232 response data sent by the dc source is terminated by the ASCII character pair <carriage return><newline>. This differs from GPIB response data which is terminated by the single character <newline> with EOI asserted.
Introduction to Programming - 2 17 SCPI Command Completion SCPI commands sent to the dc source are processed either sequentially or in parallel. Sequential commands finish execution before a subsequent command begins. Parallel commands allow other commands to begin executing while the parallel command is still executing.

19 3 Programming the DC Source Introduction This chapter contains examples on how to program your dc source. Simple examples show you how to program: u output functions such as voltage and current u i.
3 - Programming the DC Source 20 Output Voltage The output voltage is controlled with the VOLTage command. For example, to set the output voltage to 25 volts, use: VOLTage 125 The dc source can be programmed to turn off its output if the output voltage exceeds a preset peak voltage limit.
Programming the DC Source - 3 21 Triggering Output Changes The dc source has two independent trigger systems. One is used for generating output changes, and the other is used for triggering measurements. This section describes the output trigger system.
3 - Programming the DC Source 22 Initiating the Output Trigger System When the dc source is turned on, the trigger subsystem is in the idle state. In this state, the trigger subsystem ignores all triggers.
Programming the DC Source - 3 23 Making Measurements The dc source has the ability to make several types of voltage or current measurements. The measurement capabilities of the Agilent 66312A and Agilent 66332A models are particulary useful for loads that draw current in pulses.
3 - Programming the DC Source 24 This results in a data acquisition time of 32 milliseconds. Adding a command processing overhead of about 20 milliseconds results in a total measurement time of about 50 milliseconds per measurement sample.
Programming the DC Source - 3 25 Internally Triggered Measurements You can use the data acquisition trigger system to synchronize the timing of the voltage and current data acquisition with a BUS or internal trigger source. Then use the FETCh commands to return different calculations from the data acquired by the measurement trigger.
3 - Programming the DC Source 26 INITiate:SEQuence2 or INITiate:NAME ACQuire After a trigger is received and the data acquisition completes, the trigger system will return to the Idle state (unless multiple measurements are desired). Thus it will be necessary to initiate the system each time a triggered acquisition is desired.

3 - Programming the DC Source 28 Measuring Output Pulses (Agilent 66312A, 66332A Only) Current Detector Check that the current detector is set to ACDC when measuring current pulses or other waveforms with a frequency content greater than a few kilohertz.
Programming the DC Source - 3 29 Controlling Measurement Samples Varying the Voltage or Current Sampling Rate You can vary both the number of data points in a measurement sample, as well as the time between samples.
3 - Programming the DC Source 30 Pre-event and Post-event Triggering (Agilent 66312A, 66332A Only) When a measurement is initiated, the dc source continuously samples either the instantaneous output voltage or current.

3 - Programming the DC Source 32 Programming the Status Registers You can use status register programming to determine the operating condition of the dc source at any time. For example, you may program the dc source to generate an interrupt (assert SRQ) when an event such as a current limit occurs.
Programming the DC Source - 3 33 Table 3-1. Bit Configurations of Status Registers Bit Signal Meaning 0 5 8 10 11 CAL WTG CV CC+ CC- Operation Status Group The dc source is computing new calibration c.
3 - Programming the DC Source 34 Questionable Status Group The Questionable Status registers record signals that indicate abnormal operation of the dc source. As shown in figure 3-7, the group consists of the same type of registers as the Status Operation group.
Programming the DC Source - 3 35 The MSS Bit This is a real-time (unlatched) summary of all Status Byte register bits that are enabled by the Service Request Enable register. MSS is set whenever the dc source has one or more reasons for requesting service.
3 - Programming the DC Source 36 event to be summed into the Questionable summary bit. Use: STATus:QUEStionable:PTR 19;ENABle 19 (1 + 2 + 16 = 19) Step 3 Program the Service Request Enable register to allow both the Operation and the Questionable summary bits from the Status Byte register to generate RQS.
Programming the DC Source - 3 37 Using the Inhibit/Fault Port as a Digital I/O You can configure the inhibit/fault port to provide a digital input/output to be used with custom digital interface circuits or relay circuits. As shipped from the factory, the port is shipped for inhibit/fault operation.
