1. REMOTE CONTROLThis chapter describes basic configuration of IEEE488.2
based remote control.

1-1.Interface Configuration
1-1-1. Configure Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet interface can be configured for a number of different
applications. Ethernet can be configured for basic remote control ormonitoring using a web server or it can be configured as a socket
server.
The ASR supports both DHCP connections so the instrument canbe automatically connected to an existing network or alternatively,
network settings can be manually configured.

Compatible
Standard
Command
Structure

IEEE488.2

Partial compatibility

SCPI, 1999

Partial compatibility

SCPI commands follow a tree-like structure,organized into nodes. Each level of thecommand tree is a node. Each keyword in a
SCPI command represents each node in thecommand tree. Each keyword (node) of a SCPI
command is separated by a colon (:).
For example, the diagram below shows an
SCPI sub-structure and a command example.
MEASureMEASure:SCALar:FREQuency?

SCALarFREQuency

CURRent VOLTage
RMS

Command types

RMS

There are a number of different instrumentcommands and queries. A command sends
instructions or data to the unit and a query
receives data or status information from theunit.
Command types
SimpleA single command
with/without a parameter

Example

*IDN?

Query

A query is a simple orcompound command followed
by a question mark (?). A
parameter (data) is returned.
19

Examplemeas:curr?

CompoundTwo or more commands on
the same command line.
Compound commands are
separated with either a semicolon (;) or a semi-colon anda colon (;:).
A semi-colon is used to join
two related commands, withthe caveat that the lastcommand must begin at thelast node of the firstcommand.

Examplemeas:volt?;curr?
A semi-colon and colon areused to combine twocommands from different
nodes.

ExampleNote(Further
explanation)

meas:volt?;:sour:volt?

A semi-colon(;) is used to connect two
commands. A colon(:) at the start of acommand indicates that the command starts
from the root node. The first command canignore that first colon. Any commands after the
first command (for compound commands) that
do not begin with a colon, must begin at thelast node of the first command.

20

Command
Forms

Commands and queries have two different
forms, long and short. The command syntax iswritten with the short form of the command incapitals and the remainder (long form) in lowercase.
The commands can be written in capitals or
lower-case, just so long as the short or longforms are complete. An incomplete command
will not be recognized.
Below are examples of correctly writtencommands.
Long:SYSTem:ERRor?
form:SYSTEM:ERROR?
:system:error?
Short
SYST:ERR?
form
syst:err?

Square Brackets

Commands that contain square brackets
indicate that the contents are optional. The
function of the command is the same with orwithout the square bracketed items, as shown
below.
For example the query “:OUTPut[:STATe]?” has
two valid forms, “:OUTPut:STATe?” and“:OUTPut?”.

4. Status Register Overview
To program the ASR power supply effectively, the Status registers
need to be understood. This chapter explains in detail how theStatus registers are used and how to configure them.

4-1.Introduction to the Status Registers
Overview

The status registers are used to determine thestatus of the power supply. The status registers
maintain the status of the protection conditions,operation conditions and instrument errors.
The ASR Series have a number of registergroups:• Questionable Status Register Group• Standard Event Status Register Group• Operation Status Register Group• Warning Status Register Group• System Lock Status Register Group• Status Byte Register• Service Request Enable Register• Service Request Generation• Error Queue• Output Buffer
The diagram below shows the structure of the
Status registers.

5. Error List
5-1.Command Errors
Overview

An <error/event number> in the range [ -199 , 100 ] indicates that an IEEE 488.2 syntax error
has been detected by the instrument’s parser.
The occurrence of any error in this class shallcause the command error bit (bit 5) in theevent status register (IEEE 488.2, section
11.5.1) to be set. One of the following events
has occurred:•

An IEEE 488.2 syntax error has been detectedby the parser. That is, a controller-to-device
message was received which is in violation of
the IEEE 488.2 standard. Possible violations
include a data element which violates thedevice listening formats or whose type is
unacceptable to the device.

•

An unrecognized header was received.
Unrecognized headers include incorrect devicespecific headers and incorrect or
unimplemented IEEE 488.2 common
commands.
Events that generate command errors shall notgenerate execution errors, device-specificerrors, or query errors; see the other error
definitions in this chapter.

105

Error CodeDescription-100 Command
Error

This is the generic syntax error for devices thatcannot detect more specific errors. This code
indicates only that a Command Error as
defined in IEEE 488.2,11.5.1.1.4 has occurred.

-102 Syntax
error

An unrecognized command or data type was
encountered; for example, a string wasreceived when the device does not accept
strings.

-103 Invalid
separator

The parser was expecting a separator andencountered an illegal character; for example,
the semicolon was omitted after a program
message unit,
MEAS:VOLT:DC?:MEASCURR:DC?

-104 Data typeerror

The parser recognized a data element different
than one allowed; for example, numeric or
string data was expected but block data wasencountered.

-108 Parameternot allowed

More parameters were received than expected
for the header; for example,
the :SYSTem:KLOCk command only accepts
one parameter, so receiving SYSTem:KLOCk
1,0 is not allowed.

-109 Missing
parameter

Fewer parameters were recieved than required
for the header; for example,
the :SYSTem:KLOCk command requires one
parameter, so receiving :SYSTem:KLOCk is
not allowed.

-111 Header
separator error

A character which is not a legal header
separator was encountered while parsing theheader; for example, no white space followed
the header, thus *SRE2 is an error.

-112 Programmnemonic toolong

The header contains more that twelve
characters (see IEEE 488.2, 7.6.1.4.1).

106

-113 Undefinedheader

The header is syntactically correct, but it isundefined for this specific device; for example,*XYZ is not defined for any device.

-114 Header
suffix out ofrange

The value of a numeric suffix attached to a
program mnemonic, see Syntax and Stylesection 6.2.5.2, makes the header invalid.

-115
Unexpected
number ofparameters

The number of parameters received does notcorrespond to the number of parameters
expected. This is typically due an inconsistency
with the number of instruments in the selectedgroup.

-120 Numeric
data error

This error, as well as errors -121 through -129,
are generated when parsing a data element
which apprears to be numeric, including thenondecimal numeric types. This particular error
message should be used if the device cannot
detect a more specific error.

-121 Invalidcharacter innumberAn invalid character for the data type beingparsed was encountered; for example, analpha in a decimal numeric or a “9" in octal
data.

-128 Numeric
data not allowed

A legal numeric data element was received, but
the device does not accept one in this position
for the header.

-131 Invalid
suffixThe suffix does not follow the syntax describedin IEEE 488.2, 7.7.3.2, or the suffix is
inappropriate for this device.

-141 Invalidcharacter data

Either the character data element contains aninvalid character or the particular element
received is not valid for the header.

-148 Character
data not allowed

A legal character data element was
encountered where prohibited by the device.

-151 Invalid
string data

A string data element was expected, but wasinvalid for some reason (see IEEE 488.2,
7.7.5.2); for example, an END message wasreceived before the terminal quote character.

107

-158 String data
not allowed

A string data element was encountered but
was not allowed by the device at this point inparsing.

-160 Block data
errorThis error, as well as errors -161 through -169,
are generated when parsing a block data
element. This particular error message should
be used if the device cannot detect a more
specific error.

-161 Invalid
block data

A block data element was expected, but wasinvalid for some reason (see IEEE 488.2,
7.7.6.2); for example, an END message wasreceived before the length was satisfied.

-168 Block data
not allowed

A legal block data element was encountered
but was not allowed by the device at this point
in parsing.

-178 Expression
data not allowed

A legal expression data was encountered but
was not allowed by the device at this point inparsing.

108

5-2.Execution Errors
Overview

An <error/event number> in the range [ -299 , 200 ] indicates that an error has been detectedby the instrument’s execution control block.
The occurrence of any error in this class shallcause the execution error bit (bit 4) in the event
status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1) tobe set. One of the following events has
occurred:•A <PROGRAM DATA> element following aheader was evaluated by the device as outsideof its legal input range or is otherwiseinconsistent with the device’s capabilities.

•

A valid program message could not be properly
executed due to some device condition.
Execution errors shall be reported by thedevice after rounding and expression
evaluation operations have taken place.
Rounding a numeric data element, forexample, shall not be reported as an execution
error. Events that generate execution errors
shall not generate Command Errors, devicespecific errors, or Query Errors; see the othererror definitions in this section.

Error CodeDescription-200 Execution
errorThis is the generic syntax error for devices thatcannot detect more specific errors. This code
indicates only that an Execution Error as
defined in IEEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.5 has occurred.

-201 Invalid
while in local

Indicates that a command is not executable
while the device is in local due to a hard local
control (see IEEE 488.2, 5.6.1.5); for example,
a device with a rotary switch receives amessage which would change the switches
state, but the device is in local so the message
cannot be executed.
109

-203 Commandprotected

Indicates that a legal password-protected
program command or query could not be
executed because the command was disabled.

-211 Trigger
ignoredIndicates that a GET, *TRG, or triggering signal
was received and recognized by the device but
was ignored because of device timing
considerations; for example, the device was
not ready to respond. Note: a DT0 device
always ignores GET and treats *TRG as a
Command Error.

-213 Init ignored

Indicates that a request for a measurement
initiation was ignored as another measurement
was already in progress.

-220 Parametererror

Indicates that a program data element related
error occurred. This error message should be
used when the device cannot detect the more
specific errors described for errors -221
through -229.

-221 Settings
conflict

Indicates that a legal program data element
was parsed but could not be executed due tothe current device state (see IEEE 488.2,
6.4.5.3 and 11.5.1.1.5.).

-222 Data out of
range

Indicates that a legal program data element
was parsed but could not be executed because
the interpreted value was outside the legal
range as defined by the device (see IEEE
488.2, 11.5.1.1.5.).

-224 Illegal
parameter value

Used where exact value, from a list of
possibles, was expected.

1105-3.Device Specific Errors
Overview

An <error/event number> in the range [ -399 , 300 ] or [ 1 , 32767 ] indicates that the
instrument has detected an error which is not acommand error, a query error, or an execution
error; some device operations did not properly
complete, possibly due to an abnormal
hardware or firmware condition. These codes
are also used for self-test response errors. The
occurrence of any error in this class shouldcause the device-specific error bit (bit 3) in theevent status register (IEEE 488.2, section
11.5.1) to be set. The meaning of positive error
codes is device-dependent and may be
enumerated or bit mapped; the <error
message>string for positive error codes is notdefined by SCPI and available to the device
designer.
Note that the string is not optional; if thedesigner does not wish to implement a string
for a particular error, the null string should besent (for example, 42,""). The occurrence ofany error in this class should cause the devicespecific error bit (bit 3) in the event status
register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1) to be set.
Events that generate device-specific errors
shall not generate command errors, execution
errors, or query errors; see the other error
definitions in this section.

Error CodeDescription-310 Systemerror

Indicates that some error, termed “systemerror” by the device, has occurred. This code isdevice-dependent.

-320 Storage
fault

Indicates that the firmware detected a fault
when using data storage. This error is not anindication of physical damage or failure of any
mass storage element.

111

5-4.Query Errors
Overview

An <error/event number> in the range [ -499 , 400 ] indicates that the output queue control of
the instrument has detected a problem with themessage exchange protocol described in IEEE
488.2, chapter 6. The occurrence of any error
in this class shall cause the query error bit (bit2) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2,
section 11.5.1) to be set. These errors
correspond to message exchange protocol
errors described in IEEE 488.2, section 6.5.
One of the following is true:•

An attempt is being made to read data from theoutput queue when no output is either present
or pending;•

Data in the output queue has been lost.
Events that generate query errors shall notgenerate command errors, execution errors, or
device-specific errors; see the other error
definitions in this section.

Error CodeDescription-400 Query error

This is the generic query error for devices thatcannot detect more specific errors. This code
indicates only that a Query Error as defined inIEEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.7 and 6.3 has occurred.
