Status monitoring and troubleshooting
(1) Status reporting mechanism
The device achieves status monitoring through status bytes, registers, and queues. The core components include:
Status byte: 8-bit binary data, reflecting the overall operating status of the device, such as bit0 indicating operation completion and bit5 indicating error occurrence.
Standard event register: records device standard events (such as operation completion, query errors), which can be enabled through "* ESE" and queried and cleared through "* ESR?".
Extended event register: records device specific events (such as collection completion, trigger occurrence), enabled through the "STATus: EESE" setting, cleared through the "STATus: EESR?" query.
Output and Error Queue: The error queue stores the latest error code and description, which can be queried through "STATus: ERRor?"; The output queue stores non error messages, which can be set to be stored or not through ": STATus: QENable".
(2) Common problem solving
Troubleshooting steps for problem types and phenomena
Communication connection issue: Ethernet/USB cannot establish a connection. 1. Check if the cable connection is secure, and confirm if the Ethernet IP address is in the same network segment; 2. USB needs to confirm whether the driver is installed correctly and whether the device's "USB Function" is set to "TMC"; 3. Restart the device and PC and try again
Instruction execution problem: Sending instructions without response or error. 1. Check the instruction syntax (such as case and parameter range), refer to Chapter 4 of the manual to confirm the instruction format; 2. Confirm that the device is in remote mode and there is no local lock; 3. Check the communication timeout setting. If the data volume is large, the timeout time can be extended
Data transmission issue: waveform data transmission interruption or distortion. 1. Confirm that the transmitted data format is consistent with the supported format of the device (such as byte/word/ASCII); 2. Ethernet needs to check network bandwidth to avoid transmitting large amounts of data simultaneously; 3. USB requires the use of short distance cables to reduce signal attenuation
