IEEE 488
The Synergy Nano Plus supports IEEE 488 directly, the other Synerbgy Nano configurations require the
option Synergy488 adapter. The following screens and setup information pertain to the Synergy Nano Plus.
To communicate over IEEE 488, you will need an IEEE 488 communications card installed in your PC. Plug
a 488 cable into the PC’s port and connect the other end to the IEEE 488 port on the chamber.
In the SimpleComm Utility, select the IEEE 488 tab
and set the port number to the same port number
specified on your GPIB controller.
Next, set SimpleComm’s 488 address to the
address of the Synergy Nano.
The default Timeout is set to 1 second (1000 ms).
The default sample rate for the IEEE 488 is 4 times
per second. SimpleComm will query the chamber 4
times per second until the timeout period is reached.
IEEE 488 has no connect buttons; connections are
made on an as needed basis. If a communication
attempt fails, a text box message will notify the user
of the error.
To view IEEE specific controls in the SimpleComm
utility, press the Properties button. From this
window you may view and set the GPIB port and
address.
You can test the IEEE connection by pressing the
Test button. This test sends the *IDN? Command to
the Synergy Nano. The response will be displayed
in the response test box. If there is no response it
will display an error message.
