Data Precision 8200 IEEE-488

[deepskyridge]

I just got a DP 8200 standard and it work fine in local mode (from front panel). I cannot get an output using the IEEE-488 interface. Does anyone have the docs for this option. They are not in the service manual.

Thanks

Did you make any progress?

I have the service manual but it is to big to upload  . I is available on the net but don't remember where

There are some DP 8200 service manuals available at KO4BB's site. If you have something that is not there, uploading it to KO4BB would be useful.

Looks to me like the command syntax is on page 2-2 of this service manual. Looks like a listen-only device. If the output does not change, there is most likely an error in the command string you are sending, since it appears it does not have any error reporting.

OT: anyone of you 8200 owners have the 1000V option?

Ahh...

It seems to me, like you have to send the complete set of characters every time. To set +7V for example, you have to send "V1+07.00000" that seems to work.

I tried a lot of time with the "L" command, because I thought one can't do anything wrong with just one character, but it still doesn't remove the "REM" light.

But that is ok. I can control it via GPIB, now

@0xPIT: Mine has no 1kV option.

Another problem I have is the linearity calibration. It seems to me, like one of the steps cannot be tuned, because the pot is already at the end. Therefore, it seems like I have to replace a resistor. Shouldn't be a great deal, I think.
