Reading status bit from SR830 lockin

Aug 27, 2005 0 Replies

Hi



I am using STB? to poll bit 1 of the serial poll status byte to find out if an issued auto gain (AGAN) command has finished executing.



I find that the data buffer contains some other data and my reads of this bit are thus not reliable. How do I ensure that the buffer is clear before STB? 1 is asserted ? It is the first command executed on the lockin, so there is no reason for any data to be present before this.



Thanks.
