Manual Overview

The Sencore Tech Tip #174 manual provides guidance on using the IB78 RS232 interface accessory for automated control of Sencore instruments. The IB78 connects to a computer via a serial port, allowing control of one or two instruments simultaneously, and supports remote testing through modems. The manual outlines the necessary equipment, including the Sencore instrument, IB78 interface, connection cables, and optional modems for remote testing. It details software options for control, recommending terminal programs like PROCOMM and CROSSTALK for ease of use. For more complex or frequently changing test routines, user-written or commercial instrument-control programs are suggested. The manual provides a step-by-step setup procedure for using the IB78 with a terminal program, including connecting cables, setting DIP switches, and selecting baud rates. Troubleshooting steps include checking for output activity and adjusting DIP switches based on screen readings. The manual also offers guidance on writing custom control programs using any familiar programming language, with a sample flowchart and GW-BASIC program example provided for reference.

Quick Issues Covered

• Diagnose continuous clicking: activate computer port.
• Test message failure: check IB78 connections and DIP switches.
• Use Ctrl-R for repeated readings; Ctrl-O for single reading.

Installation / Setup

The installation/setup highlights for using the IB78 RS232 Interface Accessory include connecting the IB78 to the Sencore instrument and the computer. Use a straight-through or null modem cable to connect the IB78 to the computer’s serial port. Set all DIP switches on the IB78 to the down position and select a baud rate, starting at 1200 baud or lower. Ensure the computer’s port is activated if continuous clicking is heard from the IB78. Apply power to the IB78 and Sencore instrument, and use the TEST MESSAGE button to verify setup. Adjust the IB78’s DIP switches based on legible readings from the computer screen.

Operation

The IB78 RS232 Interface Accessory allows for automated control of Sencore instruments via a computer’s serial port. To use the IB78, connect it to the Sencore instrument and the computer’s serial port using a suitable cable. Set the IB78’s DIP switches to the down position and select a baud rate, starting at 1200 baud. Turn on the computer and run terminal software at the same baud rate, then power on the IB78 and the Sencore instrument. If the IB78 clicks continuously, the computer port needs activation. Use the TEST MESSAGE button to verify the setup. Commands can be typed on the computer to control the instrument, and results will be displayed on the monitor. For repeated readings, send a Ctrl-R command; to return to single readings, send a Ctrl-O.
