S 03-- 83+- End signal free time: 42.47msec.
S 3F-+ 84-+ 10-+ 00-+ 03++ End signal free time: 41.57msec.
2. Query the bus monitor for particular messages
CEC1:BUSM:MSGX? -3
// Queries for message that occurred three
messages ago
The response will be:
S 3F-+ 84-+ 10-+ 00-+ 03++ End signal free time: 41.57msec.
CEC1:BUSM:MSGX? 1
// Queries for 5th message in the buffer
The response will be:
S 03-- 83+- End signal free time: 42.47msec.
Query the bus monitor for bit timing errors and bit values
You can query the bus monitor for the number of bits, bit timing, bit timing errors as well as
the value of a specific bit.
To query the number of bit values in the bus monitor buffer:
1. Query the bus monitor for bit timing errors by entering the following command:
CEC1:BUSM:NBIT?
// Queries buffer for the number of bits
A typical response might be:
200
// Indicates there are 200 bits in the buffer
To query the bus monitor for bit timing errors:
1. Query the bus monitor for bit timing errors by entering the following command:
CEC1:BUSM:CHEK?
// Queries buffer for bit timing errors
A typical response might be:
2
// Indicates that a logical 0 bit error occurred
The range of responses are:
0 - no error has occurred
1 - an error has occurred in a one (logical 1) bit
2 - an error has occurred in a zero (logical 0) bit
4 - an error has occurred in a start bit
8 - an unknown error has occurred
To query the bus monitor for the timing of a series of bits in the buffer:
1. Query the bus monitor for the timing of a series of bits by entering the following
command:
