3.4 Configuring the RS-232 Settings of This Instrument
Explanation
Handshaking
To use the RS-232 interface to communicate with a PC, the devices on both sides must negotiate a
set of rules to ensure the proper transfer of data. This negotiation is called handshaking. Because
there are many handshaking methods that can be used between this instrument and the PC, you
must make sure that the same method is chosen by both this instrument and the PC.
You can choose any of handshaking methods shown below.

NO-NO, XON-XON, CS-RS

Data Transmission Control
There is no handshaking between this instrument and the PC. The “X-OFF” and “X-ON” signals are
treated as data, and the CS signal is ignored.
Data Reception Control

There is no handshaking between this instrument and the PC. When the receive buffer is full,
excessive data is discarded.
RS is fixed to true.
XON-XON
Software handshaking is performed between this instrument and the PC. When this instrument
receives an “X-OFF” code from the PC while it is sending data, it stops the data transmission. It
resumes the operation when it receives a “X-ON” code. The CS signal received from the PC is
ignored.

Software handshaking is performed between this instrument and the PC. When the free area of the
receive buffer falls to 64 bytes, this instrument sends an “X-OFF” code to the PC. When the free
area reaches 192 bytes, this instrument sends an “X-ON” code.
RS is fixed to true.
3-6 IM WT310-17EN
CS-RS 1
Hardware handshaking is performed between this instrument and the PC. If CS is set to false while
this instrument is sending data, it stops the data transmission. Then, if CS is set to true, it resumes 2
the operation. The “X-OFF” and “X-ON” signals are treated as data.

Hardware handshaking is performed between this instrument and the PC. When the free area of 3
the receive buffer falls to 64 bytes, this instrument sets RS to false. When the free area reaches
RS-232 Interface
192 bytes, this instrument sets RS to true.
Notes on Data Reception Control

4
When handshaking is used to control the reception of data, data may still be received from the PC
even when the free space in the receive buffer drops below 64 bytes. In such cases, if the receive
buffer becomes full, excessive data will be discarded, regardless of the handshaking method. When 5
more space becomes available, data storage resumes.

queries were received in. In most cases, a single query
returns a single response message unit, but there
are a few queries that return multiple units. The first
response message unit always corresponds to the first
query, but the nth response unit may not necessarily
correspond to the nth query. Therefore, if you want to
make sure that every response is retrieved, divide the
program messages into individual messages.
Precautions to Be Taken when Sending and

Receiving Messages
• If the controller sends a program message that does
not contain a query, the controller can send the next
program message at any time.
• If the controller sends a program message that
contains a query, the controller must finish receiving
the response message before it can send the next
program message. If the controller sends the next
program message before receiving the response
message in its entirety, an error will occur. A
response message that is not received in its entirety
will be discarded.
• If the controller tries to receive a response message
when there is none, an error will occur. If the
controller tries to receive a response message
before the transmission of the program message is
complete, an error will occur.

5.2 Commands
Upper-level Query
An upper-level query is a query that is made by
appending a question mark to a command higher in the
group. The controller can receive all of the settings in
a group collectively by executing a highest-level query.
Some query groups which are comprised of more than
three hierarchical levels can output all the lower level
settings.
Example :INTEGrate?<PMT> -> :INTEGRATE
:MODE NORMAL;TIMER 0,0,0<RMT>
The response to an upper-level query can be sent

back to this instrument as a program message. This
enables the settings that were present when the upper-
level query was made to be reproduced later on.
However, some upper-level queries do not return setup
parameters that are not currently in use. Exercise
caution because not all of a group’s information is
necessarily returned in a response.
Header Interpretation Rules

This instrument interprets the header that it receives
according to the rules below.
• Mnemonics are not case sensitive.

Example “INPut” can also be written as “input” or
“INPUT.”
• The lower-case characters can be omitted.
Example “INPut” can also be written as “INPu” or
“INP.”
• The question mark at the end of a header indicates
that it is a query. You cannot omit the question mark.
Example The shortest abbreviation for “INPut?” is
“INP?.”
• If the <x> (value) at the end of a mnemonic is
omitted, it is interpreted as a 1.
Example If “ELEMent” is written as “ELEM,”
it means “ELEMent1.”
• Parts of commands and parameters enclosed in
square brackets ([ ]) can be omitted.
Example ”[:INPut]:SCALing[:STATe] ON” can
be written as “SCAL ON.”
However, the last section enclosed in square
brackets cannot be omitted in an upper-level query.
Example ”SCALing?” and “SCALing:STATe?” are
different queries.

* Preset Patterns for Numeric Data Items

The Function Option List contains a list of the function names used in commands and their
corresponding functions and panel LED indicators.
Note
This list indicates the measurement function and element that are assigned to each item number (ITEM <x>).
Items that are not set to be measured are displayed or output in the same fashion as when the data does
not exist. For example, if frequency FI of the current of element 2 is not set to be measured, the output of
ITEM19 in pattern 2 is the same as the output when the data does not exist (NAN if the data format is ASCII).

Register Affected Status Byte Bit
Standard event register Sets bit 5 (ESB) to 1 or 0
Output queue Sets bit 4 (MAV) to 1 or 0
Extended event register Sets bit 3 (EES) to 1 or 0
Error queue Sets bit 2 (EAV) to 1 or 0
Enable Registers
The following registers are used to mask a bit so that the bit will not affect the status byte even
when it is set to 1.
Masked Register Mask Register
Status byte Service request enable register
Standard event register Standard event enable register
Extended event register Extended event enable register
Reading and Writing to Registers

For example, use the *ESE command to set the standard event enable register bits to 1 and 0. You
can use the *ESE? command to query whether the standard event enable register bits are ones or
zeros. For details on these commands, see chapter 6.

Bit Masking
To mask a certain bit of the standard event register so
that it does not cause bit 5 (ESB) in the status byte to
change, set the corresponding bit of the standard event
enable register to 0.
For example, to mask bit 2 (QYE) so that ESB will not
be set to 1 even if a query error occurs, set bit 2 of
the standard event enable register to 0. Do this using
the *ESE command. To query whether each bit of the
standard event enable register is 1 or 0, use *ESE?.
For details on the *ESE command, see chapter 6.

7.5 Output and Error Queues
Output Queue
The output queue stores query response messages. For example, if you send a :NUMeric[:
NORMal]:VALue? command, which requests for the transmission of measured data, the data is
stored in the output queue until it is read.
As shown below, data is stored in order and read from the oldest message first. The output queue is
cleared in the following cases.
• When a new message is received from the controller.
• When a deadlock occurs (see page 5-2).
• When a device clear command (DCL or SDC) is received.
The *CLS command does not clear the output queue. You can determine whether or not the output
queue is empty by checking bit 4 (MAV) in the status byte.
D2
D1 D1 D2
D1
Error Queue
When an error occurs, the error queue stores the error number and message. For example, if the
instrument receives an incorrect program message from the controller, the error number (113) and
the error message (“Undefined header”) are stored in the error queue when the instrument displays
the error message.
You can use the :STATus:ERRor? query to read the contents of the error queue. Like the output
queue, the messages in the error queue are read from the oldest one first.
If the error queue overflows, the last message is replaced with the following message: 350, “Queue
overflow.”
The error queue is cleared in the following cases.
• When a *CLS command is received.
You can determine whether or not the error queue is empty by checking bit 2 (EAV) in the status
byte.
