DESCRIPTION
The 1731N Mini Link with 1732N ICN Interface Board, Figure 1-1, provides a general
purpose serial interface to MOD 30 and MODCELL instruments via the Instrument
Communications Network (ICN). The 1731N Mini Link supports one ICN and the 1732N
ICN Interface Board supports a second ICN. The Mini Link provides intelligent buffers that
enable the operation of higher level devices (such as personal or other computers) by:
•
Assembling display and tuning information for a number of instruments and storing the
data in block format. This relieves the host from executing individual requests and
improves the efficiency of the communications.
•
Permitting the host device to download and upload instrument configuration
information. This enables instrument configuration to be performed at a central
location using a personal computer that can easily display, manipulate and document
data.
•
Permitting limited peer-to-peer communications between ICNs.
•
Providing diagnostic checks for message validity resulting in secure general purpose
serial interfaces to the ICN.
•
Off-loading trend functions when supported by the host application software.
