If echo is on, the interface confirms each incoming character by sending the same character back to the sender. The
interface parameters can be adjusted via software and the command
<PCx>
. These settings can be saved with the
command
<SS>
.
Interface Reconfiguration
In case, the user has forgotten the active setup, there are two ways of reconfiguring the interface:
• sending the command
<PCx>
from one of the other interfaces
• using the display to configure the interface Interface Parameters

The interface works with the following parameters:
Baud rate: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600, 62500, 115200
Parity: O = Odd = uneven parity
E = Even = even parity
N = None = no parity bit
Number of data bits: 7 or 8
Number of stop bits: 1 or 2
Timeout: 0-100 ms
A timeout is the time between receipt and sending of a message. The connected device is selected by entering the
command and placing the number of the device and ‘#’ before it. When using the word ‚ALL‘ instead of a number, the
following command will be executed by all connected devices (e. g. #1,ID; #22,GTR, #ALL,GTL).
Example:
#1,ID
#22,GTR
#ALL,GTL
The status word can be read with the command
<STB>
or
<*STB?>
. The following functions are assigned to the bits:
