=> No errors were detected and the command was successfully parsed and
executed.
?> A Command Error was detected. The command was not executed because it
was not understood. For instance, this prompt would be returned if the Meter
was sent an input string that contained a syntax error.
!> An Execution Error was detected. The command was understood but not
executed (i.e., a device-dependent error). For instance, this prompt would be
returned if you attempted to use the decibels modifier (dB) on a frequency
measurement (FREQ).
Note
^C (CNTRL C) is the RS-232 equivalent of IEEE-488 DCI (device clear),
causing "=>" followed by a carriage return and line feed to be output.
Terminations for the end of line can be set to carriage return (CR), line feed (LF), or both
(CRLF). Terminations for the end of line can be set in the <Instr SETUP><PORT
IF><RS232C> selection.
To change the Meter to Fluke 45 Emulation Mode, setup the remote interface for RS-232
