LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and
service. The warranty period is one year and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs, and
services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of
a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries, or to any product which, in
Fluke's opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal
conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance
with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media.
Fluke does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers
only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is
available only if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the
applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of
repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.
Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair,
or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the
warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center to obtain return
authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a description of the difficulty,
postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following
warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke
determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident, or abnormal
condition of operation or handling, including overvoltage failures caused by use outside the product’s
specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair
costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned to
the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges
(FOB Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY

Introduction
This document defines the remote interface commands for the Fluke Calibration
8588A Reference Multimeter and 8558A 8 ½ Digit Multimeter (the Product, DMM,
or Instrument). These commands may be used by a computer connected through
any of the remote interface ports to set settings, read measurement data, and
control the operation of the instrument. Command syntax and names follow the
IEEE-488.2 and SCPI standards.

Remote Operation
When the Product is operated in remote control, all local controls, except
(Go To Local) and are disabled.
The Product supports remote control GPIB, USBTMC-USB488, and Ethernet.
When under remote control, the state of important conditions within the Product
can be determined by reading status registers defined by IEEE488.2 and SCPI
1999.

Status Registers
The Product provides the standard IEEE 488.2 registers plus the extension to
status reporting provided by SCPI. The Registers are shown in Figure 1.
When you operate any device by remote control it is good practice to start by
clearing any states or queues that may be left over from previous operations.
Example sequences to achieve are described in the relevant Prepare the Product
for… section.

Service Request Line (SRQ)
Service Request (SRQ) is an IEEE-488.1 (GPIB) bus control line that the Product
asserts to notify the controller that it requires some type of service. Service
request is not available if the control interface is Ethernet. Many devices can be
simultaneously connected to the bus, but they all share a single SRQ line. To
determine which instrument set SRQ, the Controller normally does a serial poll of
each instrument. A device connected to the same GPIB bus asserts an SRQ
whenever the RQS bit in its Status Byte Register is 1. This bit informs the
controller that the device was the source of the SRQ. The device clears its RQS
register and clears the SRQ line when the controller does a serial poll of the
device, sends *CLS, or when the MSS bit is cleared. The MSS bit is cleared only
when ESB, MAV, OPER, QUES, and the Error/Event queue summary bits are 0,
or they are disabled by their associated enable bits in the SRE register being set
to 0.
The SCPI Status Registers are described in the STATus subsystem below.
Table 3. IEEE-488.2 (GPIB) Common Command Summary
*CLS Clear status byte summary, and all event registers
*ESE <enable value> Enable bits in standard event register
*ESE? Retrieve standard event enable register
*ESR? Retrieve standard event register
*IDN? Retrieve meter’s identification string
*OPC Set ‘Operation Complete” bit in Standard event reg.
*OPC? Returns “1” in output buffer after command execution
*OPT? Retrieve the options
*PSC {0|1} Power-on status clear OFF or ON
*PSC? Retrieve power-on status clear setting
*RST Reset to power-on state
*SRE <enable value> Enable bits in status byte register
*SRE? Retrieve bits in status byte register
*STB? Retrieve the status byte summary register
*TRG Trigger a reading
*TST? Perform self-test. Returns “0” if the test succeeds, “1” if the test fails
*WAI Wait for operation complete

Prepare the Product for GPIB Remote Control
The subsequent sections provide instructions to prepare the Product for remote
operation with the GPIB (488.2).
Equipment Connections
The Product connects to the IEEE 488 bus using a standard IEEE 488 cable (not
supplied with the Product). To locate the connector, see Rear Panel Features in
the Operators Manual.
W Caution
To prevent equipment damage, remove power from both the
Product and the IEEE 488 system before you connect or
disconnect the Product to or from the IEEE 488 bus.
To connect the Product to an IEEE 488 system/controller:
1. Power down both the Product and the system/controller.
2. Connect one end of a standard IEEE 488 cable to the IEEE 488 connector on
the rear of the Product.
3. Connect the other end of the IEEE 488 cable to the system/controller. Power
up both the Product and the system/controller.
After completing the equipment connections, set the bus address for the Product
as described in the subsequent sections.
About the Bus Address
Each instrument in an IEEE 488 system requires a separate and unique address
so the Product can call and communicate with each instrument individually.
These bus addresses are numeric and are within the range of 1 to 30, inclusive.
They are considered primary addresses, and the user can assign any one of
them to the Product.
Secondary addressing is not available on the Product. The source cannot
respond to any address outside the range of 1 to 30. When a controller
addresses the Product, it must also send data to define and instruct the Product
as a talker or listener

Set the Product GPIB Bus Address
To set the Product GPIB buss address:
1. Push .
2. Push the Remote Settings softkey. If the second row does not show GPIB,
use and to highlight the Active Port row.
3. Push (GPIB) and use and to highlight the GPIB Address row.
Use the numeric keypad and to set the address as required.
4. Push twice to exit the Product setup menu.
Clear IEEE488.2 Register States Left Over from Previous Remote Operation
Using the application of choice:
Check communications can be established:
Write *IDN?
Read the response
Note
The Product returns FLUKE for manufacturer, 8558A or 8588A for
the model number, a 10 digit serial number, and the firmware
version.
Clear registers and read the status byte:
Write: *CLS;*RST
Write *ESE 0
Write *SRE 191
Read the status byte (Serial POLL)
Before you proceed, set the event and status registers as required. See Status
Register.
Prepare the Product for USBTMC-USB488 Remote Control
To prepare the Product for USBTMC-USB488 remote control:
1. Push and then select Remote Settings.
2. Use and to highlight the Active Port row.
3. Select (USB).
4. Connect a USB cable between the Product and controlling PC. A message
may appear on the PC that states that a driver is being installed.
5. Check that the Product has been detected, right click on the Windows Start
Icon and select Device Manager.
There should be an item labelled USB Test and Measurement Devices and
under that, an item called USB Test and Measurement Device (IVI).
6. Close the Device Manager on the PC.
