Remote Interface Configuration

• XON/XOFF: This mode uses special characters embedded in the
data stream to control the flow. If the function generator is addressed
to
send data, it continues sending data until the “XOFF” character
(
13H
) is received. When the “XON” character (11H) is received,
the function generator resumes sending data.
•
The handshake selection is stored in
non-volatile
memory and
does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• To download binary data for arbitrary waveforms over the RS-232
interface, you can use any handshake mode except
XON/XOFF.
Be sure to select “Parity None” (8 data bits). You must also insert a
pause of approximately 1 ms between sending the header and sending
the binary block.
• Front-Panel Operation: Press and then select the Handshake
softkey from the “I/O” menu.
