Addressing and Initializing the Instrument

Addressing and Initializing the Instrument

The Agilent 86120C’s GPIB address is configured at the factory to a value of 20. You must set the output and input functions of your pro- gramming language to send the commands to this address. You can change the GPIB address from the front panel as described in “To change the GPIB address” on page 3- 4.

Remote mode and front- panel lockout

Whenever the instrument is controlled by a computer, the Remote message is displayed on the instrument’s screen and the softkey menu is blanked except for the LOCAL softkey. This softkey can be pressed by the user to restore front panel control of the instrument.

You can specify a local lockout mode that prevents the LOCAL softkey from being displayed. If the instrument is in local lockout mode, all the softkeys may be blanked. For example, if the instrument is first placed in local lockout mode and then placed in remote mode, no softkeys are displayed.

Consult the documentation for your programming environment to determine which commands are used to put an instrument in the remote and local lockout modes. These are not Agilent 86120C com- mands; they control GPIB control lines and do not send any characters to the Agilent 86120C.

Initialize the instrument at start of every program

It is good practice to initialize the instrument at the start of every program. This ensures that the bus and all appropriate interfaces are in a known state. HP BASIC provides a CLEAR command which clears the interface buffer and also resets the instrument’s parser. (The parser is the program that reads the instructions that you send.) Whenever the instrument is under remote programming control, it should be in the single measurement acquisition mode. This is auto- matically accomplished when the *RST common command is used. The *RST command initializes the instrument to a preset state:

For WLIMitOFF, searching starts at 1650 nm and progresses towards 1270 nm. For WLIMitON, searching starts at WLIMitSTART and progresses toward WLIMitSTOP. These peak values are then placed into the corrected data buffer. Each peak value consists of an amplitude and wavelength measurement. Amplitude and wavelength correction factors are applied to this data Commands are grouped in subsystems Making Measurements Table 2-4.
