(Serial Poll String command) Sets the Serial Poll String (string up to 40 characters)
which is saved in the Calibrator non-volatile memory. (While saving configuration data
in the non-volatile memory, a period of about 2 seconds, the Calibrator does not respond
to remote commands.) The SPLSTR is sent to the host over the serial interface when a
^P (<cntl> P) character is sent. The default format is:
SPL: %02x %02x %04x %04x
where the term %02x (8 bits) means print the value in hexadecimal with exactly 2 hex
digits, and %04x (16 bits) means print the value in hexadecimal with exactly 4 hex
digits. The string representations are:
SPL: (STB) (ESR) (ISCR0) (ISCR1)
See the commands, respectively, *STB?, *ESR?, ISCR0?, and ISCR1?. A typical
string in the default format sent to the host is: SPL: 44 00 0000 1000. This
command is for format. For values instead of format, enter a ^P (<cntl> p) character.
Also see the SRQSTR command.
Parameter: “<string>\n” (\n represents the NEWLINE character, hex 0A)
Example: SPLSTR “SPL: %02x %02x %04x %04x\n”
Set the SPLSTR to the default values SPL: %02x %02x %04x %04x\n.

(Serial Poll Response String query) Returns the string programmed for Serial Poll
response. For values, enter a ^P (<cntl> p) character. Also see the SRQSTR command.
Response: <string>
Example: SRQSTR returns SRQ: %02x %02x %04x %04x\n
Returns the SPLSTR string format (default settings in this example).

(Service Request Enable command) Loadsa byte into the Service Request Enable (SRE)
register. (See “Service Request Enable Register (SRE)” in Chapter 5. Since bit 6 is not
used (decimal value 64), the maximum entry is 255 − 64 = 191.
Parameter: <value> (the decimal equivalent of the SRE byte, 0 to 191)
Example: *SRE 56
Enable bits 3 (EAV), 4 (MAV), and 5 (ESR).
