LIMITED WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries or to any product which, in Fluke's opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. [. . . ] In this mode, requested information is returned by query, and interface messages are queued and returned by command. RS-232 Terminal Mode The RS-232 terminal mode is an interactive mode where an operator inputs commands, with immediate returns for requested information (queries) and interface messages. RS-232 Computer Mode The RS-232 computer mode is used when the 5500A Calibrator is operated by computer program. In this mode, requested information is returned by query, and interface messages are queued and returned by command. RS-232 Pass-Through Mode The RS-232 pass-through mode is used to pass commands from the PC to a UUT, but via the 5500A Calibrator. Commands are sent to the UUT by using the UUT_SEND command, returns use the UUT_RECV?query, and UUT_FLUSH clears the UUT receive buffer in the 5500A Calibrator. 5-24. Types of Commands The commands for the 5500A Calibrator can be grouped into one or more categories, depending on how they function. Device-Dependent Commands Device-dependent commands are unique to the 5500A Calibrator. An example of a device-dependent command is, OUT 100 V, 1 A, 60 HZ instructing the 5500A Calibrator to source 100 watts of ac power. 5-25 5500A Operator Manual 5-26. Common Commands Common commands are defined by the IEEE 488. 2 standard and are common to most bus devices. Common commands are available whether you are using the IEEE-488 or RS-232 interface for remote control. instructing the 5500A Calibrator to return the instrument identification string. 5-27. Query Commands Query commands request information, which is returned as the command executes, or placed in a buffer until requested. An example of a query, which always ends with a question mark, is, RANGE?returning the 5500A Calibrator primary and secondary outputs. 5-28. Interface Messages (IEEE-488) Interface messages manage traffic on the IEEE-488 interface bus. Device addressing and clearing, data handshaking, and commands to place status bytes on the bus are all directed by interface messages. Some of the interface messages occur as state transitions of dedicated control lines. The rest of the interface messages are sent over the data lines with the ATN signal true. (All device-dependent and common commands are sent over the data lines with the ATN signal false. ) An important thing to note about interface messages is that unlike device-dependent and common commands, interface messages are not sent literally (in a direct way). For example, when you send a device-dependent query to the 5500A Calibrator, the controller automatically sends the interface message MTA (My Talk Address).
