Introd uction This chap ter intro duces you to th e b asics o f remote programming and is org anized i n two secti ons. The firs t se ction, "Talk ing to th e Ins trument," con centrates on in itializi ng the bus, pr ogram syn tax and the eleme nts of a s yntax instuctio n. The secon d sectio n, " Recei ving Informatio n from the Ins[...]

Talki ng to the Instrume nt In general, comput ers acting as contro llers co mmunicate wi th the i nstrum ent by se nding and receivi ng message s over a re mote i nterface, such as GPIB or RS-232 C. Instruct ions for programming the 16 60-seri es logi c analyzers will normally appear as ASCII charact er st rings emb edded insi de the o utput state[...]

Initialization To make sure t he bus and all appropriat e interface s are in a k nown state, begin every program with an ini tializ ation st atement . BASIC provi des a CLEAR com mand that clears t he interface b uffer. If yo u are using G PIB, CLEAR will also reset the parser i n the logic anal yzer. The parser is the program res ident in the l og[...]

Instruct ion Syntax To program the logic analy zer remote ly, you must have an understanding o f the com mand format and st ructure. The IEE E 4 8 8.2 standard gove rns syntax rules pert aining t o how individual element s, such as he aders, separat ors, parameters and te rminators, may be gro uped toge ther t o form com plete instructi ons. Syntax[...]

Device A d dr ess The locati on whe re the devi ce address must be specifi ed also de pends on t he host l anguage that yo u are using. In some language s, this could be speci fied outside the output command. In BASIC, this is always s pecifie d after the keyword OUTPUT. The examples in this manual use a g eneric address of XXX. When writing pro gr[...]

When yo u look up a que ry in this programmer’ s reference , you’ ll find a paragraph labe led "Returne d Format " unde r the one lab ele d "Query. " The syntax definitio n by "R eturned form at" will always show the inst ruction header in sq uare brack ets, l ike [:SYSTem:ME NU], which means the te xt betwe en the[...]

Header T ypes There are thre e types of headers: Simple Co mmand, Compo und Command, and Commo n Command. Simple Comm and H eader Simple co mmand headers co ntain a si ngle key word. START and STO P are example s of simple co mmand headers typi cally used i n thi s lo gic analyz er. The syntax is: <function><terminator> When parame ters[...]

Comb ined Comm [...]

Query Usage Logic anal yzer ins tructions that are imme diately fo llowed b y a q uestion mark (?) are queries . After receiving a q uery, t he logic analyzer pars er places t he response in t he output b uffer. The out put message re mains in t he buffer until it is read or unt il anothe r logic anal yzer ins truct ion is i ssued. Wh en read, the [...]

Program Header Options Program headers can b e sent using any co mbinati on of uppercas e or lowercase ASCII characters. Logic anal yzer res ponses, ho wever, are al ways returned in uppercase. Both pro gram co mmand and q uery headers m ay be s ent in ei ther long form (compl ete spel ling) , short form ( abbre viated spel ling) , or any combinati[...]

Parameter Data Types There are thre e main ty pes o f data which are used in parame ters. They are numeric, st ring, and keywo rd. A fourt h type, b lock data, is us ed only fo r a fe w instructi ons: the DATA and SE Tup inst ructions i n the SYSTem s ubsyst em (see chapter 10 ); the CATalo g, UPLo ad, and DO WNload i nstructio ns in the MMEMory su[...]

When a s yntax de finition specifi es that a number i s an integ er, that means that t he number should b e who le. Any fractional part would b e ignore d, truncating the numb er. Numeric param eters t hat accept fract ional value s are called real numb ers. All numb ers are expect ed to be strings of A SCII characte rs. Thus , when sending t he nu[...]

Select ing M ultip le Su bsystems You can send multiple program com mands and program queries for different subsys tem s o n the same line by se parating each command with a sem icolon. The colon foll owing the semicol on e nables y ou to enter a new subsyst em. <instruction header><data>;:<instruction header><data> <term[...]

Rece i vi ng Inform ation fr om the Instrume nt After rece iving a query ( logic analyzer i nstructio n followe d by a q ues tion mark), the logic anal yzer int errogate s the req uested function and pl aces the answer in it s output queue. The ans wer remains i n the output queue unt il it is read, o r, unt il anot her command i s issued. When rea[...]

Response Header Options The format of the re turned ASCII string depends on t he current s ettings of the SYSTEM H EADER and LONGFO RM commands. The general fo rmat is <instruction_header><space><data><terminator> The header ident ifie s the dat a that follows ( the paramet ers) and is co ntrolle d by is suing a :SYSTEM:HEAD[...]

Response Data Formats Both numb ers and strings are returned as a series of ASCII charact ers, as describe d in the fo llowing sections . Keywo rds in the data are ret urned i n the same form at as the header, as specifie d by t he LONGfo rm co mmand. Li ke the headers , the k eywords wil l always be in uppercase . Example s The fo llowing are pos [...]

String Variables Because the re are so many ways to co de numbe rs, the 1 660-serie s lo gic analyzers handle almost all data as ASCII string s. Depending on y our host language, y ou m ay be ab le to use other t ypes when re ading in respo nses. Someti mes it is helpful t o use s tring variab les in pl ace of cons tant s to send instructi ons t o [...]

This time the format o f the numb er (s uch as, whethe r or not exponential notati on i s used) is dependant upon your ho st languag e.

Multiple Queries You can send mult iple que ries to the logic anal yzer within a singl e program message, but y ou must also read t hem back wit hin a singl e program m essag e.
