Hi:
I have the following setup.
Advantest Programable Voltage/Current Generator's GPIB Port (it is a GPIB Instrument) is conntected to a NI GPIB-RS232 Converter and Convertter Serial Port is conncted to a PC Serial Port..
GPIB-RS232 is configured in S-Mode.
I created a Hyperterminal for communication with Advantest.
The Hyperterminal seems working, I tested Loop Back test, when typing a character it appears twice on PC monitor indicating the Hyperterminal is working.
I typed ?, or *ID? , but didn't get anything (expected ID information from Advantest).
Question:
How do you communicate with Advantest?
For example, if you want to set Advantest for 10 mA current, what command do you use for this. In otherwords, I don't know what to type or command language to use in the Hperterminal screen.
Appreciate your comment and suggestions.
