Hello,

There is a source code package that can be used to get the TNT4882 to respond to queries such as

versions, one that uses interrupts and one that does not. If you trace the function calls down to the lo
the TNT4882 registers are being accessed by Memory IO functions.

I would recommend spending some time going over the code and correslating the function names wit
(using the TNT4882 manual).

Your questions are confusing. First you ask for some c code and now you ask for some LabVIEW c
and VISA but typically all you would need is a VISA Write or VISA Read. Of course, no LabVIEW co
no response to an *IDN? query. You would have to code that into the microcontroller. If you don't

Hey Dennis,
I understand what you are trying to say. It would be helpful if you pointed me to the documents that
configuration the TNT4882 should be put to inorder to have it communicate with VISA.

This is what I have done...

void TNT_config(void){
XBYTE[CMDR] = 0x22; //soft reset command to command register

XBYTE[SPMR] = 0x80; //following steps configure the TNT into turbo+7210 mode
XBYTE[AUXMR]= 0x80; // do
XBYTE[SPMR]= 0x99; // do
XBYTE[AUXMR]= 0x99; // do
XBYTE[HSSEL] = 0x01; //Configure TNT to one chip mode

XBYTE[AUXMR]= 0x02; //To make sure that the local PON message is asserted.
// to logically disconnect the GPIB and GPIB interface
//Configure the TNT for GPIB operation

XBYTE[ADMR]= 0x31; //To set the TNT in dual primary addressing mode.
XBYTE[ADR]= 0x0A; //The primary address of the built GPIB card as seen by the MAX

XBYTE[AUXMR] = 0x51; //hold off handshake immediately

XBYTE[IMR1] = 0x00;

XBYTE[IMR3] = 0x08;
XBYTE[HIER] = 0xC0; //To select deglitching circuit on the TNT
XBYTE[AUXMR]= 0x00; //To clear the local PON message
return;
}

Max is reading the address as 10. we want to confiqure tnt as a listener.so do we have to write the
ADR register?

Devika,

I don't think that you understand how invovled your question is. Getting your instrument to respond
0 Kudos
complicated. However, we know that your TNT4882 is initialized correctly because it is showing up
instruments. This means that you have successfully followed the directions in Chapter 4 of the
Manual.

Here are the additional steps necessary for communication (both sending and receiving data):
1. Initialize the transfer
1. Wait for the GPIB Controller to complete the necessary addressing (the TNT4882 must be add
and listener to receive data)
2. Reset the FIFO
3. See the remaining steps on page 4-8 in the manual
2. Conduct the transfer
1. This is a fairly complicated state machine See page 4-9 in the manual.
3. Post Transfer Termination (after the transfer is complete)
1. Send the stop command
2. Read the Counts to determine the number of bytes transferred
3. See the remaining steps on page 4-12 in the manual.
Depending on how you are using the chip, there are numerous ways to implement these steps. Wit
bus), with interrupts, or even using a timer for timeout detection. Once you decide which features
you can see the manual for tips on implementation or you can see the source code package that I d
implementation of an instrument responding to a *IDN? query.

The code that you posted will only get the instrument to respond to addressing by the controller. It
communicate.

I hope this helps,
