Transmit Pace None Xon
This softkey in the RS-232 Pace menu determines whether any pacing is
acknowledged by the RS-232 transmit channel. If Xon pacing is used, the system
will suspend transmitting data upon receiving an Xoff character until an Xon
character is received. The signal generator may not be responsive to other
channels, or to the front panel, while transmission is suspended. Xon pacing is not
recommended if binary data will be sent to the signal generator via RS-232.
Toggle
Transmit Pace None Xon to None to turn off Xon pacing.
Pace is a persistent state; it is not affected by an instrument preset or by a power
cycle.

View Next Error Message
If the ERR annunciator is turned on in the display, you have at least one error
message stored in the error message queue. Use this softkey to display the first
error message in the queue. (The first error message is the oldest error.) There may
be more than one error message in the queue; the number of error messages is
displayed along with the first message. If there is more than one message,
continue pressing this softkey to view the rest of the error messages. If you wish
to back up and view a message you have already seen, press
View Previous Error Message. Press any front panel key to remove the error
message from the display and return to normal signal generator operation.
The error queue can contain up to 30 error messages. When the front panel error
queue overflows, error messages are deleted beginning with the oldest ones first.
When the SCPI error queue overflows, newer error messages are not recorded.
You can scroll through the error messages in reverse order. Refer to the
View Previous Error Message softkey description.
