RTS/CTS
Pressing this softkey reveals a menu of choices for controlling the RTS/CTS
behavior. This feature is used with RS-232 connections, including the HP 83300A
Remote Interface.
RTS is a persistent state; it is not affected by an instrument preset or by a power
cycle.

RTS/CTS Pacing
Press this softkey to turn the RTS line on and instruct the signal generator to
monitor the state of the CTS line (hardware handshaking). The signal generator
monitors CTS and suspends transmission if this line transitions to its logically low
state. Up to 16 characters may still be transmitted after the low transition. The
signal generator will drop RTS if its receive buffer is nearly full. RTS will be
raised again when there is sufficient room in the buffer. This setting is not
compatible with an HP 83300A Remote Interface. Do not attempt to use this
setting with a 3-wire connection.
RTS is a persistent state; it is not affected by an instrument preset or by a power
cycle.
