SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial[:RECeive]:PARity[:TYPE] EVEN|ODD|ZERO|ONE|NONE
This command decides what type of parity checking (if any) will take place
on received data and also decides what parity (if any) will be included with
transmitted data. The following choices are available and can be set using
either this command or the equivalent TRANsmit:PARity[:TYPE]
command.
Parity Type Description
EVEN The receiver expects a parity bit. All data received
is checked for even parity. An error is generated if
this test fails. Transmitted data includes a parity
bit set for even parity indication.
ODD The receiver expects a parity bit. All data received
is checked for odd parity. An error is generated if
this test fails. Transmitted data includes a parity
bit set for odd parity indication.
ZERO The receiver expects a parity bit. All data received
has the parity checked and if it is not a logic low
an error will be generated. Transmitted data
includes a parity bit that is always set low (stick 0
parity).
ONE The receiver expects a parity bit. All data received
has the parity checked and if it is not a logic high
an error will be generated. Transmitted data
includes a parity bit that is always set high (stick
1 parity).
NONE The receiver is not expecting a parity bit included
in received data and does not perform a parity
check. The transmitter does not include a parity
bit in the transmitted data.
