Parity selection (RS-232)
You can select the parity for RS-232 operation. The instrument is configured for
no parity with 8 data bits when shipped from the factory.
You can set the parity from the front panel only.
– Select one of the following: None (8 data bits), Even (7 data bits), or Odd (7
data bits). When you set the parity, you are also indirectly setting the number
of data bits.
– The parity selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change
when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST command), or after an
Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
– Front-Panel Operation:
EVEN, 7 BITS
