CIIL support

Dear Sir,

                 I want to use NI GPIB-RS232  to connect a Simulator and a PC(COM1 or COM2).

 

Please find the attached Programming manual for simulato model 5330. In the document, it is mentioned that, it uses CIIL.

 

I have some query related to this.

1. Does GPIB-RS232 convertor support CIIL ?

 

2. Can I use Teraterm Macro language to send the commands to simulator ?

    Teraterm Macro sends ASCII characters to COM1/COM2. Doesn't it suffice to configure and contorl the simulator ?

 

Pease help me.

 

Thanks for any words of wisdom.

The CIIL is the command language of the instrument. It is supported by the instrument only. Asking whether a CGPIB or Serial-GPIB converter supports it is not relevant.

 

You should be able to use any terminal emulator program to talk to the serial port. Just try it.

Dear Mr. Knight,

                           I know that the CIIL is supported by simulator Model 5330. But, I have to send this commands to the instrument through GPIB Interface of the instrument.  

 

So, I just wanted to confirm that by using teraterm and RS232-GPIB converter, I should be able to send this ASCII commands to the instrument. Right. ?

 

Or do I need use software like LabView etc ?

 

I have not bought any RS232-GPIB convetor. Thats why I am getting lot of doubst.  

 

Please answer and confirm.

 

Thanks for any words of wisdom,

"You should be able to use any terminal emulator program to talk to the serial port. "

 

No, you don't need LabVIEW.
