Data Processing
Functions
built
into the DM
5010 allow you to ob
tain answers that are already processed or corrected
in
a number of ways.
For
instance, ohms readings can
be
offset by NULL to take into account lead resis
tance.
Any
reading
can be
scaled according to the
formula (x-b)/a;
this
converts a voltage reading across
a
resistor to current if b is
set to zero and a to the
resistor
’
s ohms value.
Voltage readings can be re
turned
in dB or dBr (dB compared to a reference).
Just
insert
the
processing
command selected from the
command
table
in this guide into set-up
messages
sent to the DM 5010. An example using the averaging
function is shown
in the
sample measurement
program.
DM 5010 Response
to interface Messages
The following program sequences show various in
terface messages transmitted to the DM 5010.
The DM 5010 responds to DCL (and
SDC if listen
addressed)
by clearing its Input and Output Buffers
and any
unexecuted setting commands in its
Pending
Settings Buffer,
along with any errors or events
wait
ing to be reported (except power-on).
GET triggers
a reading
in device trigger mode if the
instrument
receives
the message while listen ad
dressed. It is used with the MODE TRIG and DT TRIG
commands.
LLO locks
out the operator from restoring local
(front-panel) control
when the instrument is under re
mote control.
GTL restores
local control if the instrument re
ceives
the
message while listen addressed.
See
the DM 5010 Operators Manual for
a full dis
cussion of how the instrument responds to interface
messages.
