Table 5-2. Commands (continued)
SCAL_ERR?
Description Sequential command.
Returns the value of the scale error if scaling is on; otherwise, this command returns 0.0.
Parameter None
Response
1. (Float) Scale error
2. (String) Units for scale error
SP_EOF
Description Sequential command, ignored if not in remote.
Sets the End-Of-File character string for the RS-232-C serial interface. The EOF setting is
saved when the power is turned off.
Parameters:
1. ASCII code (decimal) for the first character
2. ASCII code (decimal) for the second character
(A "0" for parameter 1 or 2 means that there is no character in that position.)
SP_EOF?
Description Sequential command.
Returns the End-Of-File character string.
Parameter None
Response
1. (Integer) ASCII code in decimal for the 1st character
2. (Integer) ASCII code in decimal for the 2nd character
(A "0" for response 1 or 2 means there is no character in that position.)
SP_SET
Description Sequential command, ignored if not in remote.
Sets the serial port settings and saves them in nonvolatile memory.
Parameters: One or more of the following, in any order:
1. Baud rate as 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200
2. TERM or COMP (See note below)
3. XON, RTS, or NOSTALL (Stall method)
4. DBIT7 or DBIT8 (Data bits)
5. SBIT1 or SBIT2 (Stop bits)
6. PNONE, PEVEN, PODD, or PIGNORE (Parity)
7. CR, LF, or CRLF (End-Of-Line)
Note
The TERM or COMP parameter sets the responses in serial remote control
to be appropriate for interactive terminal use or operation under program
control. Specifying TERM sets the remote port to expect a human operator
using a terminal. Specifying COMP sets the remote port to expect a computer
program to be controlling the calibrator. (This command has the same effect
as setting Remote I/F to TERMINAL or COMPUTER in the RS-232C Port
Setup Menu.)
Defaults: 9600,TERM,XON,DBIT8,SBIT1,PNONE,CRLF
Example: 1200,COMP,XON,DBIT8,SBIT1,PEVEN,CRLF
