REMOTE CONTROL AND PROGRAMMING REFERENCE for the FLUKE 190 family of ScopeMeter test tools ============================================================= This file contains remote control and programming information for the above-mentioned models with use of the PM9080 Optically Isolated RS232 Adapter/Cable. It consists of the following chapters: 1. INSTALLING THE PM9080 2. INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING 3. COMMAND REFERENCE APPENDIXES APPENDIX A ACKNOWLEDGE DATA APPENDIX B STATUS DATA APPENDIX C WAVEFORM DATA APPENDIX D ASCII CODES Page 1.1 ============================================================= 1. INSTALLING THE PM9080 - Connect the PM9080 to the RS232 port of the computer. If necessary, use a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter and 25-pin gender changer. - Hook the PM9080 cable to the ScopeMeter. - Turn on the computer and the ScopeMeter. - Make sure that the communication settings match for the RS232 port of the computer and the ScopeMeter. After power-on, the default settings of the ScopeMeter are as follows: 1200 baud, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit You can modify the baud rate with the PC (Program Communication) command. See chapter 3 COMMAND REFERENCE. Other settings are fixed. You can modify the computer RS232 port settings to match the above ScopeMeter settings with the following DOS command: MODE COM1:1200,N,8,1 This command assumes that COM1 is the RS232 port used on the computer. Replace COM1 in the above command with COM2, COM3, or COM4 if one of these ports is used. You can place this command in the computer startup file AUTOEXEC.BAT so that the default settings for the computer are the same as for the ScopeMeter. If you want to use a higher data transfer speed (baud rate), let your QBASIC program change the settings for both the computer and the ScopeMeter. See the example under the PC (Program Communication) command in chapter 3 COMMAND REFERENCE. Page 2.1 ============================================================= 2. INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING ** Basic Programming Information ** When you have installed the PM9080 as described in the previous chapter, you can control the ScopeMeter from the computer with simple communication facilities, such as GWBASIC, QuickBASIC and QBASIC (programming languages from Microsoft Corporation). All examples given in this manual are in the QBASIC language but will also run in QuickBASIC. QuickBASIC allows you to make executable files from programs so you can start such programs directly from DOS. It is assumed that you have knowledge of these programming languages. QBASIC is supplied with Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0 and higher and Windows 95, 98, and NT, including 'on-line' Help. Features of the syntax and protocol for the ScopeMeter are as follows: - Easy input format w
