Methods of Remote Control
Methods of Remote Control
The OmniBER 718 can be remotely controlled in one of four ways:
GPIB (HP-IB) Provides a parallel interface that allows the connection of other
devices to the system for example: Frequency Counter; Printer;
Signal Generator. Allows great flexibility in communicating
data and controlling data and provides one of the easiest
methods of constructing automatic systems. If long distance
communication is required, suitable GPIB Extenders must be
connected within the test system at both ends of the
communication link.
RS-232-C Provides a serial interface that can be connected directly to the
RS-232-C port of a terminal or computer. Only the controller
and the OmniBER 718 can be connected within the system. If
long distance communication is required, the OmniBER 718
can be connected directly to the RS-232-C port of a Modem and
controlled via a telephone line.
LAN Provides a parallel interface that allows the connection of other
instruments and controllers to the system for example:
workstations; other OmniBER 718's; other test sets that have a
LAN interface.
DNA Provides control via a Front Panel displayed on a PC connected
to a LAN. Other test sets that have the Virtual Remote
capability can be connected to the LAN and controlled via the
same PC. See HP E4540A Manual, HP part number E4540-
90004.
UID's OmniBER Universal Instrument Drivers - please refer to the
UID sales flyer (part number 5968-5608E) provided with your
instrument for information on OmniBER UID's which are
provided on a CD-ROM with your instrument.
