0
Magnitude too small to calculate
phase
1
Command Parameter is out-of-range

Configuration Switches
There are two banks of 8 switches, SW1 and
SW2, located on the rear panel. SW1 sets the
GPIB address and SW2 sets the RS232
parameters. The configuration switches are read
continuously and any changes will be effective
immediately.
SW1:GPIB Mode Switches
Bit Example
Function
1 } up
GPIB Address Switches
2 } up
Address 0 to 30 allowed
3 } up
'up' for bit = 1
4 } down
'down' for bit = 0
5 } up
(Most Significant Bit)
6
down
'down' to echo on RS232
(normally 'up')
7
up
Not Used
8
up
Not Used
If the GPIB mode switches are set as shown in the
example column above, then the lockin will be
addressed as GPIB device #23, and all GPIB
commands and data will be echoed over the
RS232 for de-bugging purposes.

Odd parity

Even parity

Eight data bits are always sent, regardless of the
parity setting. The most significant bit is always
zero.
Example: Bit 1 'down' and all others 'up' for
RS232 communication at 9600 baud, no parity,
two stop bits, and no echo or prompts by the
SR510.
