1.3.3 Connection
For connection, use an off-the-shelf connection cable, which must be purchased separately. When
making connection to a serial interface on a personal computer, use the following type of cable.
Cable specifications: D-Sub, 9-pin, female-female, interlink cable using inch-standard screw.
In order to avoid misoperation due to radiation and interference resulting from
electromagnetic noise, be sure to use a shielded cable.
Communication can be established if at least the three lines RxD, TxD, and GND are connected.
The RTS and CTS lines are required in order to use hardware flow control.
An interlink cable is required in order to use hardware flow control (Fig. 1-1(b)). Some cables have
cross or reversed lines in which pins 7 and 8 are connected together (Fig. 1-1(c)). Communication is
also possible with this type of cable, but hardware flow control is not possible.

1.3.4 Limitations and precautions
• RS-232 only allows the controller to be connected in a 1-to-1 configuration.

It is not possible to connect multiple devices in parallel to a single port.
• Functions such as SRQ and Device Clear that are unique to GPIB cannot be used.
The BREAK signal or Control-C (0x03 in hexadecimal notation) can be used as an alternate to the
Device Clear function. However, Control-C cannot be used during binary transfer.
The :SYSTem{:LOCal|:REMote|:RWLock} command can largely substitute for the remote local
function. The :SYSTem:KLOCk can be used to lock operation from the panel.
• Clear the receive buffer before starting communication.

If device power is turned on or off, or the RS-232 cable is connected or disconnected while the
controller has the RS-232 communication path open, abnormal data may enter the controller's
receive buffer. Therefore, before starting normal operation, the program on the controller should
clear the controller's receive buffer (e.g., by initializing communication) upon starting or restarting
communication.
In the same way, abnormal data can be left in the receive buffer of the LI 5655 / LI 5660. Clear the
receive buffer using the BREAK signal or other equivalent of Device Clear.
10 LI 5655 / LI 5660
1.4 GPIB outline

This interface is provided for use in environments that are well-suited to use of GPIB. It should not be
used in environments that are exposed to high levels of electromagnetic noise.

Install an off-the-shelf GPIB interface card in the controller (the controlling computer) and connect the
LI 5655 / LI 5660 using a GPIB cable. See the manual included with the GPIB interface regarding
GPIB driver software.

With GPIB, devices included in the system are identified by device-specific addresses. Set different
GPIB addresses for each device.

When GPIB is selected, the following information is displayed.
Current setting: GPIB address
[ GPIB> ] Switches to the {GPIB configuration screen}.
■ {GPIB configuration screen}

Select the GPIB address using the up/down keys or the modify knob.
[Exec] Saves the configuration, sets the communication interface to GPIB, and
returns display to the {Interface configuration screen}.
11 LI 5655 / LI 5660
■ Message terminator
A terminator is required at the end of each set of commands or responses to signify termination.
The response message terminator sent by the LI 5655 / LI 5660 is fixed to LFÊOI.
Any of the following can be used as program message terminators that are received by the LI 5655 /
LI 5660.
・ LF Line Feed code
・ LFÊOI EOI (END message) accompanying LF
・ (Last code)ÊOI EOI (End message) appended to the last code
1.4.3 Precautions regarding GPIB use

・ Before connecting or disconnecting the GPIB connector, turn off power to all devices connected
to the bus.
・ When using GPIB, turn on power to all divices connected to the bus.
・ With GPIB, the maximum number of devices that can be connected to the same bus is 15,
including the controller.
Further, length of the cable is subject to the following restrictions.
－ Total cable length ≦ (2 m×number of devices or 20m, whichever is shorter)
－ Length of any single cable ≦ 4 m
・ Set different GPIB addresses for each device. Output collisions arising when multiple devices
with the same address are connected to the same bus can result in device damage.

1.6 Precautions regarding communication
■ Input buffer
・ Commands received are placed in a buffer and interpreted and executed in the order received
The size of the input buffer is 100K bytes (1K=1024). Program messages exceeding this size are
interpreted and executed in the order received.
・ If an disallowed command is discovered during interpretation, an error occurs upon execution and
subsequent commands are not executed until the program message terminator is received.
■ Output buffer
・ The capacity of the output buffer is 100K bytes (1K=1024).
・ If the maximum capacity is exceeded, the output buffer is cleared and the Standard Event Status
register's query error bit is set to 1. Interpretation and execution of subsequent commands may
continue as normal, but all response messages generated are discarded until the program message
terminator is reached.
・ A separate 4M bytes of memory is provided for use as measurement data buffer.
■ Error queue
・ The maximum number of error messages that can be queued is 16.
・ If this number is exceeded, the 16th message changes to "Queue overflow" to indicate that the
error queue has overflowed. Subsequent error messages are discarded. The 15 error messages
already in the queue are maintained.
■ Program message terminator

When sending commands from the controller, append LF (Line Feed, 0x0A hex) to the end of the
output character string as the program message terminator. Further, append EOI (End message) as the
last byte. Some devices may not operate properly unless LF and EOI are appended to commands sent.
Depending on the driver software used as the control computer, unless program message terminators
are specified together with commands themselves, program message terminators may not be output.
Although NL (New Line) is sometimes indicated instead of LF (Line Feed), the binary code is the
same.
Since the concept of END messages do not apply in case of RS-232 and LAN, EOI is not appended.
■ Restrictions applicable to RS-232 and LAN

Functions that are unique to GPIB cannot be used. Examples are shown below.
Reception of Device Clear (DCL, SDC) messages
Reception of GTL (Go To Local) messages
Reception of LLO (Local Lockout) messages
Reception of GET (Group Execute Trigger) messages
Reception of REN (Remote Enable) messages
Transmission of SRQ (Service Request) messages
Serial Poll (reception of SPE / SPD and transmission of status bytes)
Transmission of END message (the EOI signal as message terminator)

2． Switching between remote / local states
21 LI 5655 / LI 5660
2．Switching between remote / local states
In regard to remote control, the LI 5655 / LI 5660 has a remote states and a local state.
In the local state, all panel operations are possible.
In the remote state, all panel operations are disabled except for the TRIG key and the operation that
returns operation to the local state.
■ Switching to the remote state

Ordinarily, the remote state is used during operation through GPIB. This depends on driver
functionality on the controller side. Under the communication standard, specifying a device as the
listener when the REN message is TRUE puts that device in the remote state. The same applies to
operation with USB (USBTMC).
■ Switching to the local state

Operation can be returned to the local state from the remote state by pressing the _CLR_ / LOCAL
key on the front panel (except during Local Lockout).
Operation can be returned to the local state from the controller by sending the GTL command or
returning the REN line to FALSE. Since disconnecting the GPIB cable makes the REN line FALSE,
operation returns to the local state.
■ Prohibiting local operation from the panel

Accidental local operation can be prevented by specifying Local Lockout from the controller, During
Local Lockout, operation cannot be returned to the local state by pressing the _ _CLR_ / LOCAL key.
From the controller, operation to return to the local state is possible from the controller even during
Local Lockout.
■ Remote/local operation with RS-232 and LAN

When a command is sent to the LI 5655 / LI 5660, the LI 5655 / LI 5660 returns to the remote state.
When the local state is restored by pressing the _CLR_ / LOCAL key, panel operation is enabled.
The following commands can be used with RS-232 or LAN.
:SYSTem:LOCal (switches to the local state)
:SYSTem:REMote (switches operation to the remote state)
:SYSTem:RWLock (switches to the remote state with Local Lockout)
REMOTE lamp
In the remote state, the REMOTE lamp lights, and in the Local Lockout state, it flashes (at a slow rate).
After the power is turned on, remote control cannot be used while the REMOTE lamp is flashing
(at a high rate).
__CLR__ / LOCAL key REMOTE lamp

3． Responses to interface messages
23 LI 5655 / LI 5660
3．Responses to interface messages
The principle IEEE-488.1 interface messages are as follows.
Table 3-1 Responses to interface messages

Message Function
IFC < InterFace Clear >
Initializes the GPIB interface.
Releases the specified listener and talker.
DCL, SDC < Device CLear >, < Selected Device Clear >
Clears the input buffer and cancels command interpretation / execution.
Clears the output buffer and clears bit 4 (MAV) of the Status Byte register.
LLO < Local Lockout >
Prohibits switching from the remote state to the local state by pressing the _
_CLR_ / LOCAL key.
GTL < Go To Local >
Switches to the local state.
GET < Group Execute Trigger >
Executes a trigger. Works the same as the *TRG command.
The procedure for sending interface messages from the controller varies according to device dri ver. For
details, see the relevant driver manual.
These functions cannot be used with RS-232 and LAN. However, alternate functions are provided for
some of them.

5． Command explanation
35 LI 5655 / LI 5660
5.1 Language outline

resents an outline of the language.
5.1.1 Subsystem commands

Commands are grouped according to function. Subsystem commands are ordered hierarchically, with
the colon (:) defined as the path separator.
5.1.2 Path separator

The path separator (:) delimits the current keyword from keywords at the next lower level. Each time a
colon (:) is detected in a command string, the current path shifts to the next lower level.
Using a colon (:) at the beginning of a command string means "set the current path as root." The root
path is also set when the power is turned on, or by the *RST command or a message terminator.
Program messages always have the root at the beginning. Also, the colon (:) may be omitted from the
beginning of command strings.
: S Y S T: K L O C 1
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑
① ② ③ ④
① Set current path as root (optional).

② SYSTem subsystem commands (SYSTem is a root command).
③ KLOCk command is included in the SYSTem subsystem.
④ A space is required between header and parameters.
Multiple command strings can be included in a single program message by delimiting them with
semicolons (;).
:SENS:FILT1:LPAS:SLOP 12 ; :SENS:FILT1:LPAS:TCON 0.1
Command1 Command2
The above is the equivalent of the following two program messages.
:SENS:FILT1:LPAS:SLOP 12
Current path following execution is : SENS:FILT1:LPAS
Subsystem commands at the same level as the first command can be accessed by omitting the
colon (:) from the beginning of the second and following command strings.
:SENS:FILT1:LPAS:SLOP 12 ; TCON 0.1
:SENS:FILT1:LPAS: can be omitted from the second command string

In any case, the concluding program message terminator can be omitted.
Note that the current path may change if a keyword is omitted.
36 LI 5655 / LI 5660
5.1.3 Abbreviation of keywords

In this instruction manual, commands and parameters are described using combinations of upper and
lowercase alphabetic characters. Uppercase characters indicate the short (abbreviated) form. Commands
from which lowercase characters are omitted have the same functionality as long-form commands that
include lowercase characters. However, omission of just part of lowercase letters is not possible.
The use of upper and lowercase characters is a matter of presentation convenience, and there is no
distinction between the two at the device level. Upper and lowercase letters can be freely mixed.
Example) Command notation CALCulate1 FORMat?

→ :calculate1:format? Valid - Long form, all lowercase letters
:Calc1:Form? Valid - Short form, mixed upper and lowercase letters
:CALCUL1:FORM? Invalid - Partially abbreviated
:CALC1:FOR? Invalid - Excessive abbreviation
5.1.4 Optional keywords

Keywords appearing in square brackets ([ ]) are optional. Device operation is the same regardless of
optional keywords are all included or are partially or totally omitted. The two examples below both
perform the same function on the device.
Example) Command notation DISPlay[:MENU][:NAME] NORMal

→ :DISP:MENU:NAME NORM No keywords omitted
:DISP NORM Keywords omitted
5.2 Sequential commands

All LI 5655 / LI 5660 commands are sequential commands. Commands are executed in sequence, with
execution of later commands following that of preceding commands. There are no overlapping
commands.
37 LI 5655 / LI 5660
5.3 Detailed command explanations

Functions and command syntax of commands shown in "Table 1 Common commands" and "Table 2
Subsystem command list" are explained below.
[Meaning of symbols]
・ Square brackets ([ ]) indicate optional keywords. (Implied keywords)
・ Braces ({ }) enclose the parameters of the command string.
・ Vertical bars ( | ) are used to indicate a choice from among multiple keywords.
・ Angle brackets (< >) are used to indicate required parameters consisting of numerics or
text.
These symbols are used purely for the sake of explanation, are must not be included in actual
commands.
Explanation :DISPlay:WINDow[:STATe] {ON|OFF|1|0}
Actual command :DISPlay:WINDow:STATe ON
[Parameter format]
Symbol Format Example
NR1 Integer (numeric) 123
NR2 Decimal format without an exponent 0.075
(numeric)
NR3 Decimal format with an exponent (numeric) 4.99E+06
CRD Character string ALL
SRD Character string enclosed in double quotation "No error"
marks
bool Logical value ON, OFF, 1, 0
・ Unless otherwise specified, numbers may be specified in any format, and values
specified are rounded to the nearest value if the specified value exceeds the permitted
resolution. Further, when a numerical value is set that is not included in the parameter
options, it is rounded to the closest value.
・Unless otherwise specified, the minimum numeric value is assumed for numbers that are
less than the minimum value, and the maximum numeric value is assumed for numbers
that exceed the maximum.
・With numeric parameters for which specification of MAX / MIN is allowed, the
maximum numeric value is set when MAX (or MAXIMUM) is specified, and the
minimum numeric value is set for MIN (or MINIMUM).
・When the response is a numeric value and the range, resolution, and unit have not been
specified, those parameters are the same as in the configuration. Unless otherwise
specified, the mantissa of the NR3 format responses has 6 digits.
・For commands whose parameter type varies according to specification format, numbers
specified that exceed the ranges indicated are lumped into the same range and resolution
as for operation from the panel. For the actual range of numeric that can be set, refer to
the panel operating instructions.
・Quotation marks used to enclose character strings can be either single quotation marks or
double quotation marks.
38 LI 5655 / LI 5660
[Notes]
・In this explanation, the work "command" refers to both commands and to queries.
Keywords which conclude with a question mark (?) are queries.
・No headers are attached to messages sent in response to commands.
39 LI 5655 / LI 5660
5.3.1 Common commands
*CLS
Explanation Clears the following statuses.
・ Standard Event Status register
・ Operation Event register
・ Questionable Event register
・ Status byte
・ Error queue
Also clears the panel error display.
Setting example *CLS
Note The *CLS does not clear the Status Byte register directly. However, except for
the MAV bit and RQS bit, the status byte is cleared indirectly. The MAV bit is
cleared indirectly when the input buffer is cleared by Device Clear. The RQS
bit can be cleared by reading the status through serial polling.
*ESE <mask>
*ESE?
Explanation Sets and queries the Standard Event Status Enable register.
Parameter(s) <mask> {numeric, range 0 to 255} An error results if range exceeded.
For details  "6.3 Standard event status"
Setting example *ESE 32
Sets 32 to the Standard Event Status Enable register.
Response <mask> {numeric, format NR1, range 0 to 255}
Query example *ESE?
Response example 32
The Standard Event Status Enable register contains 32.
*ESR?
Explanation Queries content of the Standard Event Status register.
Upon querying the Standard Event Status register, all of its bits are cleared to
0.
Response <Register content> {numeric, format NR1, range 0 to 255}
For details  "6.3 Standard event status"
Query example *ESR?
Response example 16
The Standard Event Status Enable register contains 16.
40 LI 5655 / LI 5660
*IDN?
Explanation Queries the model name.
Response {"<manufacturer name>, <model name>, <serial number>, <firmware
version>"}
Format SRD
Query example *IDN?
Response example "NF Corporation,LI5660,9097772,Ver1.00"
*OPC
*OPC?
Explanation Verifies that execution of all preceding commands has been completed.
Setting example *OPC
Specifies that the OPC bit of the Standard Event Status register be set to 1
when execution of all preceding commands has been completed. Completion of
command execution can be verified by monitoring the status.
Explanation 1
1 is returned when execution of all preceding commands has been completed.
Query example *OPC?
Explanation 1
Execution of all preceding commands has been completed.
Note *OPC? does not clear the Standard Event Status register's OPC bit. To clear the
bit, use Device Clear or the *CLS or *RST command.
The OPC bit can be used to trigger SRQ when it becomes 1.
*RCL <memory number>

Explanation Restores the settings stored in the specified configuration memory.
Parameter(s) <memory number> {numeric in range 0 to 9} An error results if range
exceeded.
When 0 is specified, settings are restored to the power-on settings (the settings
at time of power-off). Default settings are written in configuration memories
that have not been used to store settings.
Setting example *RCL 5
Restores the settings stored in configuration memory 5.
Note An error occurs if the contents of the specified configuration memory have
been corrupted.
*RST
Explanation Restores default settings.
For details  LI 5655 / LI 5660 Instruction Manual (Operations)
"Table 3-2 Settings and default values"
Setting example *RST
41 LI 5655 / LI 5660
*SAV <memory number>

Explanation Saves current settings to the specified configuration memory.
Parameter(s) <memory number> {numeric in range 1 to 9} An error results if range
exceeded.
Setting example *SAV 5
Saves current settings to configuration memory 5.
Note Contents of configuration memory are not cleared by the *RST command.
To clear contents of configuration memory,  :SYSTem:RST command
*SRE <SRQ mask>

*SRE?
Explanation Sets and queries the Service Request Enable register.
Parameter(s) <SRQ mask> {numeric in range 0 to 255} An error results if range
exceeded.
For details  "6.1 Status system outline"
Setting example *SRE 128
Response {numeric, format NR1, range 0 to 255}
Query example *SRE?
Response example 128
The Service Request Enable register contains 128.
*STB?
Explanation Queries content of the Status Byte register.
Response <Register content> {numeric, format NR1, range 0 to 255}
For details  "6.2 Status byte"
Query example *STB?
The Status Byte register contains 128.
*TRG
Explanation When the measurement data buffer is enabled, executes a trigger and records
data in the measurement buffer.
When the internal timer is disabled, measurement data is recorded only once.
When the internal timer is enabled, starts recording measurement data
according to the internal timer.
Enable the measurement data buffer  :DATA:FEED:CONTrol command
Set the internal timer  :DATA:TIMer command
Before using triggers, the awaiting trigger state must be set with
the :INITiate[:IMMediate] command. An error will result if the awaiting
trigger state has not been set.

Sets and queries the Service Request Enable register.
The register is cleared to 0 immediately after turning on the power. Set 0 to clear to 0. The
Status Byte Register is enabled when 1 is set to the Service Request Enable register, and a
Service Request is issued when one of the effective bits is set to 1.
The setting and response message parameter for the respective registers is the value that is the sum of
weights of bits that are 1.
■ Status verification when querying

Ordinarily, a correct response can be obtained by receiving a response message after sending a query.
There is no need to check the MAV bit of the Status Byte. If processing performed includes checking of
the MAV bit, read the response message after verifying that the MAV bit of the Status Byte is 1 by
serial polling, and then continue with the next operation after verifying that the MAV bit has changed to
0.

8． Data acquisition using the measurement data buffers
117 LI 5655 / LI 5660

Multiple sample points can be stored in the measurement data buffers as a measurement data set, and
then the buffer contents can be read later.
The following schematically illustrates use of the measurement data buffer for measurement.
Example 1 Reading all measurement data out of BUF1 at once after recording it into the
buffer at arbitrary timing.
Send (":ABOR")
' Any recording currently in progress is aborted.
Send (":DATA:FEED BUF1, 7")
' Set the measurement data set for recording.
Send (":DATA:POIN BUF1, 100")
' Set capacity of the measurement data buffer.
' At this time, the contents of the specified buffer are cleared.
Send (":DATA:FEED:CONT BUF1, ALW")
' Enable recording into the specified measurement data buffer.
Send (":DATA:TIM:STAT OFF")
' Disable the internal timer.
Send (":TRIG:SOUR BUS")
' Set the trigger source to remote control.
' Other trigger sources can also be used.
' If necessary, specify a trigger delay time.  :TRIG:DEL command
Send (":INIT")
' Transition to the awaiting trigger state.
Send (":TRIG")
' Apply the trigger to repeatedly record measurement data.
' If the measurement data buffer becomes full during recording, the trigger system enters
the idle state and further triggers are not accepted.
Send (":STAT:OPER:COND?")
Receive (OPCR)
' When the trigger source is other than BUS, completion of measurement can
' be determined from the operation status full flag.
' SRQ can also be used to generate an interrupt when the buffer becomes full.
Send (":FORM ASC")

' Set the data transfer format to be used for reading out data.
Send (":DATA:DATA? BUF1, 100, 0")
' Request transfer of data from the measurement data buffer.
' It is also possible to check the number of sample
' points recorded in the measurement data buffer.  :DATA:COUN command
Receive (STAT_1, DATA1_1, DATA2_1, STAT_2, DATA1_2, DATA2_2, …)
' Reads out a block of measurement data starting a the specified starting position.
118 LI 5655 / LI 5660

Example 2 Reading measurement data from BUF3 in parallel with recording.
Send (":ABOR")
' Set the measurement data set for recording.
Send (":DATA:POIN BUF3, 100")
' Set capacity of the measurement data buffer.
' At this time, the contents of the specified buffer are cleared.
Send (":DATA:FEED:CONT BUF3, ALW")
' Enable recording into the specified measurement data buffer.
Send (":DATA:TIM 1E-3")
' Set the interval of the internal timer.
Send (":DATA:TIM:STAT ON")
' Enable the internal timer.
Send (":TRIG:SOUR EXT")
' Set the trigger source to the external input signal.
' Other trigger sources can also be used.
' If necessary, specify a trigger delay time.  :TRIG:DEL command
Send (":INIT")
' Transition to the awaiting trigger state.
' Upon trigger application, measurement data recording starts at equal time intervals.
Send (":FORM ASC")
' Set the data transfer format.
Send (":DATA:DATA? BUF3, 2")
' Request transfer of data from the measurement data buffer.
Receive (STAT_1, DATA1_1, STAT_2, DATA1_2)

' Repeat requesting and receiving measurement data.
' If readout is faster than recording, the buffer will never become full and recording can
' continue indefinitely.
' If readout falls behind, further recording is not possible once the buffer becomes full.
Send (":DATA:FEED:CONT BUF3, NEV")
' Once the required data has been obtained, stop recording to the buffer to
' avoid degradation of device performance due to unnecessary operation.
119 LI 5655 / LI 5660

Example 3 Record and read out data in parallel using BUF1 and BUF2 in alternation.
Send (":ABOR")
' Set the measurement data set to be recorded to the respective buffers.
Send (":TRIG:SOUR EXT") ' Set the trigger source.
Send (":FORM ASC")
' Set the data transfer format to be used for reading out data.
Send (":DATA:POIN BUF1, 256") ' Clear BUF1.
Send (":DATA:FEED:CONT BUF1, ALW") ' Direct recording to BUF1.
Send (":INIT") ' Transition to the awaiting trigger state.
' Thereafter, apply as many triggers as needed to obtains samples corresponding to the
buffer capacity.
Receive (OPCR)
' Monitor the BUF1 full flag for completion of recording.

' Thereafter, apply the trigger in correspondence with buffer capacity while reading out
data in parallel.
Receive (DATA1_1, DATA2_1, DATA1_2, DATA2_2, DATA1_3, DATA2_3 …)
' In parallel with recording data to BUF2, read out data recorded in BUF1.
Receive (OPCR)
' Monitor the BUF2 full flag for completion of recording.

' Thereafter, apply the trigger in correspondence with buffer length while reading out
data in parallel.
Receive (DATA1_1, DATA2_1, DATA1_2, DATA2_2, DATA1_3, DATA2_3 …)
' In parallel with recording data to BUF1, read out data recorded in BUF2.
' Repeat recording and reading out data as much as necessary.

Remote control errors are recorded in the error queue and can be read out in sequence
by :SYSTem:ERRor? starting with the oldest. Once all errors have been read out, 0,"No error" is
returned if the query is sent again. The error queue can be cleared with the *CLS command.
Data remaining in the input buffer or output buffer at the time a problem occurs can be cleared using a
device clear interface message (DCL, SDC). If the interface being used does not support the device
clear function, use the corresponding substitute function instead.
Under some circumstances, errors other than the above may occur. In such cases, check the error
message for a summary.
For operations that can be controlled from the panel, error messages are the same as with panel
operation. Refer to the explanations of panel operations related to the various commands and queries.
Errors that occur during ordinary measurement are displayed in the same manner during remote control.
