ML24xxA Native Commands GPIB Operation
8-20 PN: 10585-00001 Rev. P ML2437A/38A OM/PM
BAUTS (Battery Auto Turn OFF)
BAUTT (Battery Auto shut off after x minutes)
BUFF (GPIB response buffering enabled)
Syntax: BAUTS <state>
state: ENABLE or DISABLE
Remarks: Enable/disable the battery auto power shut off.
Note: Although GPIB is not available under battery operation, the state
of this parameter can be changed for later use.
Query: BAUTS?
Returned String: BAUTS <state>
Syntax: BAUTT <val>
val: 10 to 240 minutes
Remarks: Automatically turns the unit off after x minutes when operating on
battery power.
Note: Although GPIB is not available under battery operation, the state
of this parameter can be changed for later use.
Query: BAUTT?
Returned String: BAUT <val>
Syntax: BUFF <s>
s: ON OFF
Remarks: If BUFF is ON: In the ML243X native mode, 488.2 GPIB operation,
when a request for data is made the response is put in an output buffer
ready to be read by the controller. If another data request is made and
the previous data has not been read out of the output buffer; the new
data is queued after the original request. In this mode of operation the
GPIB response buffering enable is ON, and following the 488.2
specifications when ever a request for data is made the response should
be read.
If BUFF is OFF: In this mode when ever a request for data is made,
(except by serial poll) the output buffer is cleared and the only data in
the output queue will be the response to the last data request made. The
output buffer is cleared once a valid GPIB data request command has
been recognized.
Note: If the buffering enabled is set to OFF and '*OPC?' is used, the '*OPC?'
will clear the output buffer of any previous response data so only the '1'
will appear.
