■ Hard flow
Hard flow sets flow control (RTS/CTS) when data is transferred through
the RS-232C interface. With hard flow enabled, data flow is controlled by
the data transmission request signal (RTS) and transmission permit
signal (CTS) between the 3560 and computer.
RTS: A PC outputs this signal to indicate readiness to receive data from a
peripheral device.
CTS: A peripheral device outputs this signal to indicate readiness to
receive data from the PC.
For information on setting flow control, refer to the operating manual for
your PC. Make sure settings for the 3560 and the PC match.
If the 9588 GP-IB INTERFACE is not mounted,
GP-IB cannot be selected.
In order to control the 3560 by the RS-232C, there are several kinds of
messages. Of these, program messages are those received by the 3560
from the computer, while response messages are those sent from the 3560
to the computer.
