• Bit 2 of the Status Register is monitored to determine when the reset
is finished.
• Writing a "0" to bit 1 re-enables SYSFAIL.
Configuring the
Multimeter
Configuring the multimeter consists of:
• Setting the multimeter’s analog-to-digital A/D parameters
– function
– range
– aperture time
– autozero mode
– offset compensation mode
• Setting up the multimeter trigger system
– trigger source
– trigger count
– trigger delay
– sample count
– sample source
– sample rate
– wait-for-trigger state
This process is accomplished as indicated by the flowchart in Figure C-4.
Comments
• The registers used are:
– Status Register (base + 04
16
)
– Command Register (base + 08
16
)
– Parameter Register (base + 0A
16
)
• Status Register bit 0 is monitored to determine when a command and
parameters can be written to the Command and Parameter Registers.
• Status Register bit 7 is monitored to determine when the multimeter
has finished processing the current command and parameter(s).
• Repeated passes through the flowchart are made until the desired
configuration is set.
