ETS-Lindgren 2090 Controller - Manual (Page 73)

Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller
USING THE GPIB COMMAND SET
WITH THE MODEL 2090
The ETS-Lindgren Model 2090 controller has a large
command set covering all of ETS-Lindgren’s past
positioning controllers. The command set from the Models
1050, 1060, and 1090 are incorporated into the Model 2090
along with a variety of new commands. The Model 2090
also supports the same command set as the ETS-Lindgren
Model 2190 Virtual Device Controller.
Some of the legacy commands are duplicated while others
have gained new meaning. In addition, conformity to the
IEEE 488.2 standard requires a more restricted
interpretation of some of the commands. See “Appendix A:
Model 2090 GPIB COMMAND REFERENCE” for a list
of all the commands and their functions.
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
The Model 2090 incorporates the command sets of
previous ETS-Lindgren controllers. This is intended to
allow pre-existing software written for older controllers to
run with little or no modification with the Model 2090.
The entire Model 1050 and 1060 command set has been
reproduced while only a portion of the Model 1090
command set is included. The commands not implemented
under the Model 1090 set are mainly those associated with
the four-device control. All motion control, limit settings,
and basic operations have been maintained. However, the
