1.2 USB overview
1.2.1 Preparing the controller
To use the USB interface, prepare a controller that is equipped with a USB interface (acomputer to be used for control).
Install a USBTMC driver on the controller. Usually, this driver supports the USB488
subclass and can perform control over USB that is nearly the same as GPIB.
USBTMC: Universal Serial Bus Test and Measurement Class
That driver is included in the hardware products and software products provided byvarious manufacturers that supply the VISA library. If you do not have a VISA librarylicense, it is necessary to obtain one.
VISA: Virtual Instrument Software Architecture

Using the VISA library enables unified operation over any USB, GPIB, RS-232, or LAN
interface, within the respective supported ranges.
This instrument has been confirmed to operate on the NI-VISA supplied by National Instruments.

1.3.3 Important points for using GPIB
・Turn off the power to all instruments that are connected to the bus before inserting or
removing the GPIB connector cable.
・When using GPIB, turn on the power to all instruments that are connected to the bus.
・Up to 15 instruments, including the controller, can be connected to a single GPIB bus.
The following limitations apply to the length of cables.
－ The total cable length cannot exceed 2 m times the number of instruments or 20m, whichever is less.
－ The length of one cable cannot exceed 4 m.
・Set a different value for the GPIB address of each instrument. If there are instrumentson the bus that have the same address, the instruments may be damaged by output
collision.

1.4.2 Preparing the ZA57630◼

Remote menu [INTERFACE]

The information shown below is displayed when the RS-232 interface is selected.

◼

Baud rate

This sets the communication speed. The baud rate is the same for both sending andreceiving.
For communication speeds in excess of 19200 bps, higher speeds require lower cablecapacitance and shorter cable length.

1-9

ZA57630

1．Preparation before Use◼

Flow control

This sets the flow control method.
NONE

No flow control (default)

SOFT

Software flow control
Communication is managed with control codes (X-ON and X-OFF).
Reliable communication can be achieved using a connection cablewith just TxD, RxD, and GND lines. However, binary data cannot betransmitted and the effective speed may be lower.
In hexadecimal notation, X-ON is 11 and X-OFF is 13.

HARD

Hardware flow control
Communication is managed with a hardware control line (RTS andCTS).
When flow control is enabled, communication is temporarily halted
when the receive buffer is nearly full and resumed when theavailable buffer capacity is sufficient.

◼

Terminator

A set of commands and responses must end with a terminator that indicates the end of
the message.
LF

The terminator is a one-character LF (Line Feed).

CRLFThe terminator is a two-character combination of CR (Carriage
Return) and LF.
In hexadecimal notation, CR is 0x0D and LF is 0x0A.

・ For ZA57630 sending
The specified terminator is added to the end of the response message.
・ For ZA57630 receiving
When the terminator that has been set for this instrument is received, thecommand is executed.

1．Preparation before Use

1.4.3 Connection
Prepare a commercially-available cable to use for the connecting cable. When connecting
to the serial interface of a personal computer, the cable described below can be used.
Cable specifications: D-Sub, 9-pin, female-female, interlink, with ISO inch screws.
To prevent operating problems due to electromagnetic interferenceor noise, a shielded cable must be used.
The minimum cable configuration for communication is RxD, TxD, and GND.
For hardware flow control, RTS and CTS are required.
To use hardware flow control, use an interlink cable (Fig. 1-1 (b)). Another cross or reverse
connection method is to connect adjacent pens 7 and 8 (Fig. 1-1 (c)). With that type ofcable, communication is possible, but hardware flow control cannot be used.

1．Preparation before Use

1.4.4 Restrictions and cautions• For the RS-232 interface, there is one-to-one connection between the controller and
the ZA57630.
It is not possible to connect multiple instruments to one port in parallel.
• GPIB-specific functions such as SRQ cannot be used.
For the remote/local control function, the :SYSTem{:LOCal|:REMote|:RWLock}command can be mostly replaced.
• Clear the receive buffer before beginning communication.
If the instrument power is turned on or off, or if the RS-232 connector is removed orinserted while the controller has an open RS-232 communication path, invalid data
may be input to the receive buffer of the controller. For that reason, it is necessary toclear the receive buffer of the controller when a program on the controller opens orreopens communication (by initializing communication for example) before normal
operation.
In the same way, invalid data may remain in the receive buffer of the ZA57630.

ZA57630

1．Preparation before Use

1.5 LAN overview
1.5.1 Preparing the controller
To use the LAN interface, prepare a controller (computer used for control) that is equippedwith a LAN interface. The ZA57630 can communicate by using the TCP/IP protocol.

1.5.2 Preparing the ZA57630◼

Remote menu [INTERFACE]

The information shown below is displayed when the LAN interface is selected.

◼

DHCP

This sets the DHCP. When the DHCP state is ENABLE and [INTERFACE APPLY] is
executed, an IP address request is sent to the DHCP server on the network.
If the DHCP is present, the IP address request ends normally and the returned IP
address can be used for communication. If no DHCP server is detected or the IP address
assignment did not end normally, the APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) function
automatically allocates an IP address in the range of 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255.
◼

IP address

In the IP (Internet Protocol), an address that identifies an instrument is set (logicaladdress). The range of addresses from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 is for private IP
addresses that can be used freely within a small-scale local network (class C).
◼

Default gateway

When accessing an external network, the IP address of the gateway that is used
implicitly is set.
◼

Subnet mask

A subnet mask is set to separate the IP addresses of a higher-level network from the IP
addresses of lower-level host.

1-13

ZA57630

1．Preparation before Use◼

DNS

The IP address of the DNS server for resolving host names to IP addresses is set.
◼

Port numberThis is the port number that is used when the ZA57630 communicates using the TCP
protocol. It cannot be changed. It is written in decimal notation.
◼

MAC addressThis displays an instrument-specific address (physical address). It cannot be changed.
◼

LAN reset

This resets the LAN settings for the specified instrument to the factory settings. Whenthe cursor is over LAN related parameters in [INTERFACE] of the Remote menu, it isshown on the function key.
◼

Message terminator

A set of commands and responses must end with a terminator that indicates the end of
the message.
The terminator for response messages sent by the ZA57630 and the terminator for the
program messages that are received by the ZA57630 are fixed as LF.

1.5.3 Connection
The ZA57630 can distinguish between a straight cable and a cross cable, so either type ofcable can be used.
Use the type of cable that is compatible with the equipment to which the ZA57630 is being
connected.

1.5.4 Restrictions and cautions• GPIB-specific functions such as SRQ cannot be used.
The remote/local control function can be replaced by the :SYSTem:{LOCal|REMote|RWLock}command.

1-14

ZA57630

1．Preparation before Use

1.6 Communication cautions◼

Input buffer・ The commands that have been sent are temporarily stored in the input buffer, from
where they are interpreted and executed in sequence.
The input buffer capacity is 100 KB (K = 1024). Even if program messages exceedthat size, they are interpreted and executed in order.
・ If an invalid command is encountered during interpretation and execution, an error
results and none of the subsequent commands up to the program message terminatorare executed.
◼

Output buffer・ The output buffer capacity is 4096 KB (K = 1024).
・ If the maximum capacity is exceeded, the output buffer is cleared and the query error
bit of the standard event status register is set to 1. Subsequently, commandinterpretation and execution proceeds in the normal manner, but all generated
response messages are discarded up to the program message terminator.
◼

Error queue

・ The queue can hold up to 16 error messages.
・ If there are more than 16 error messages, the 16th message returns “Queue
overflow”. Subsequent error messages are discarded. The error messages up to the15th message are retained.
◼

Program message terminator

When commands are sent from the controller, be sure to append the program message
terminator, which is either LF (Line Feed, 0x0A hex) or CRLF (Carriage Return, 0x0D
hex + Line Feed, 0x0A hex) to the end of the message. Alternatively, place an EOI (END
message) byte at the end. If commands are sent without LF, CRLF, or EOI appended,
the instrument may not operate properly.
Depending on the driver software used by the computer that is used for control, theprogram message terminator may not be output unless the terminator is specified
separately from the command itself. The line feed (LF) is sometimes written as new line
(NL), but the binary code is the same in either case.
For the RS-232 and LAN interfaces, there is no END message concept, so EOI is notappended.
◼

RS-232 and LAN restrictions

GPIB-specific functions cannot be used. Examples are shown below.

2． Switching between Remote and Local Modes

2-1

ZA57630

2．Switching between Remote and Local Modes

The ZA57630 has two operating modes relevant to remote control: remote and local.
In the local mode, all panel operations are enabled.
In the remote mode, all panel operations other than return to local mode and power-off are
disabled.
◼

Sets the remote mode

Normally, operation from GPIB switches this instrument to the remote mode. That is afunction of the driver on the controller side. According to the communication standard,
asserting the REN line and specifying to a listener instrument sets the instrument to
the remote mode. The operation is the same for USB (USBTMC).
◼

Sets the local modeTapping the [LOCAL] button at the top of the screen returns from remote mode to local
mode (except when local lockout is enabled).
When a GTL command is sent from the controller or the REN line returns false, local
mode operation is possible. If the GPIB cable is removed, the REN becomes false, so the
instrument is returned to local mode. For USB, too, removing the cable returns the
instrument to local mode.

◼

Disabling local panel operation

When the controller specifies local lockout, unintentional local operations are disabled.
When local lockout is in effect, this instrument cannot be returned to the local mode bytapping the [LOCAL] button.
Even when local lockout is in effect, local operation can be enabled from the controller.

◼

Remote and local operation with the RS-232 and LAN interfaces

If a command is sent to the ZA57630, the instrument goes into remote mode.
Tapping the [LOCAL] button returns the instrument to local mode and enables
operation from the panel.
For the RS-232 and LAN interface, the commands listed below can be used.
:SYSTem:LOCal (change to local mode):SYSTem:REMote (change to remote mode):SYSTem:RWLock (change to remote mode with local lockout)◼

Displaying the remote control mode

It is possible to check the current status of the instrument by looking at the remotecontrol status display in the upper part of the screen.

5．Commands

5.1 Overview
The commands of the ZA57630 are broadly classified into common commands
defined in IEEE488.2 and the subsystem commands corresponding to
instrument-specific functions.

5.1.1 Notation
For convenience in description, the following notation is used in this document.
<>

Parameters or parameter formats are enclosed in angle brackets (< >).

[]Brackets are used to enclose options, which may be omitted.

{abc|xyz}
This means to use either “abc” or “xyz.”[abc|xyz]
This means to use either “abc” or “xyz” but it is optional and can beomitted.
Uppercase and lowercase letters
Keywords that are written in uppercase and lowercase letters are
long-form expressions; keywords that are written in uppercase letters
are short-form expressions.

5.1.2 Command types
The ZA57630 program messages consist of common commands and subsystemcommands. Here, the command formats, the subsystem command tree, and otheritems are explained.

5.1.2.1

Common commands

The common commands are for control of the general instrument functions.
The command syntax is illustrated in Figure 5-1.

*

SP

KeywordParameter?

Figure 5-1 Common command syntax
The keywords in Figure 5-1 are composed of three alphabetic characters. In thisexample, SP represents a space (ASCII code 32).

5.1.2.2

Subsystem commands

The subsystem commands are for executing specific instrument functions. They
consist of a root keyword, one or more lower-level keywords, parameters, and a
suffix.
Examples of a command and a query are shown below.

:OUTPut:STATe ON:OUTPut:STATe?

OUTPut is a root-level keyword that is concatenated with a second-level keyword.
ON is a parameter.

Suffix?

Figure 5-2 Subsystem command syntax(A) Keyword
The keyword in Figure 5-2 is a text string of up to 12 characters that begins with aletter of the alphabet. The remaining characters can be uppercase or lowercase
alphabetic characters, underscore characters, or numerals.
Most of the keywords shown in section “5.3Command details” are composed of a

mixture of uppercase and lowercase characters. Here, uppercase characters indicate
short-form expressions and the mixture of uppercase and lowercase characters
indicates long-form keywords. For convenience and explanation, uppercase andlowercase characters are used in keywords, but in the actual commands, there is no
distinction between uppercase and lowercase. Take the keyword “OUTPut” in Table
5-1 as an example.
Table 5-1 Keywords that are accepted or not accepted by this instrument (for the case of “OUTPut”)

Explanation

OUTPUT

This can be used as the long form.

OUTP

This can be used as the short form.

OuTpUtUppercase and lowercase characters are not distinguished.
This can be used as the long form.

oUtP

Uppercase and lowercase characters are not distinguished.
This can be used as the short form.

OUTPU

This cannot be used, because it does not correspond toeither the long form or the short form.

OUT

This cannot be used, because it does not correspond toeither the long form or the short form.

5．Commands(B) Keyword separator
The colons that appear in Figure 5-2 are interpreted as keyword separators. The
keyword separator serves to separate upper-level keywords from lower-level
keywords in the command tree.
The colon that appears at the beginning of subsystem commands is interpreted as aroot specifier. The root specifier sets the current path as root.
(C) Keyword omission
For the commands shown in section “5.3Command details”, the keywords

enclosed in square brackets ([ ]) can be omitted. If a keyword is omitted, this
instrument treats that keyword as an optional keyword when executing thecommand analysis.
Taking the :OUTPut[:STATe] command for example, either the following commands
can be used.
:OUTPut:STATe:OUTPut(D) Parameters
The parameter formats are described below.
(1) Numerical parameters (<NRf>, <NR1>, <NR2>, and <NR3>)
The numerical parameter formats include integer (<NR1>), real number(floating-point) (<NR2>), and real number (exponent) (<NR3>). <NRf> is a genericexpression that includes <NR1>, <NR2>, and <NR3>. The syntax for numericalparameters is illustrated below.

Checking status when making a query

Normally, a correct response message can be received after a query has been sent, and
it is not necessary to check the MAV bit of the status byte. When the processing
proceeds while the MAV bit is being checked, first check that the MAV bit of the statusbyte is 1 by serial polling after the query is sent and then read the response message.
Then confirm that the MAV bit has changed to 0 and proceed to the next operation.

There is an abnormality in the numerical data (nodetailed classification).
The exponent is too large (greater than 32000)(Example)
SOURce:FREQuency:CW 1E50000
A number has too many digits (more than 255).
There is an abnormality in the suffix (multiplier orunit). (no detailed classification)
The SI prefix or unit is too long (more than 7
characters).
There is an abnormality in text data (no detailed
classification).
The text data is too long.
The command could do not be executed (no detailed
classification).
(Examples)・ A setting operation command was sent duringcalibration.
・ The calibration path check failed.

The command cannot be executed because of
constraint conflicts among multiple settings.
(Examples)
・ Amplitude and DC bias constraints
・ Sweep lower limit frequency and upper limit
frequency constraints
・ Graph axis scale maximum and minimum
constraints
The data is outside the valid range.
The parameters are incorrect (problem other thandata type error).
(Example)
SOURce:FREQuency:CW %1
An instrument-specific internal error has occurred(memory content lost, etc.).
The error queue has overflowed and canaccommodate no new errors. (The error queue has
more than 16 items.)
The next command was received before all of therequested responses were sent. The response wasinterrupted and the output buffer was cleared.
(Does not occur with LAN or RS232 interfaces.)
The received query was incomplete, so the requested
response could not be sent. The output buffer was
cleared.
(Does not occur with LAN or RS232 interfaces.)
There was a query following”*IDN?” within a text
string. (“*IDN?” must be the last query in a received
text string.)

Remote control errors are placed in the error queue and can be read one at a time in order of oldest
first with the query “:SYSTem:ERRor?”. If a read operation is executed after all of the errors havebeen read, 0, “No error” is returned. The error queue can be cleared with the *CLS command.
If a problem occurs that results in data remaining in the input buffer or output buffer, thebuffers can be cleared with a device clear interface message (DCL, SDC).
Errors other than those described above may occur in some situations. In such cases,
check the error message for a summary.
For operations that can also be performed from the panel, the displayed error messages
are the same as those that result from panel operation. Refer to the explanation for thepanel operations that are relevant to each command and query. Errors that occur during
normal measurement are also displayed in the same way under remote control operation.
