CHAPTER
B
Serial Port Interface Remote
Control
The System 824 is fully controllable remotely via the Serial
Port interface. Settings and the operational mode can be
changed by sending commands through the serial port. Data
can also be downloaded to and settings queried and set by
the controlling computer.
The System 824 may be connected to the computer directly
or through a modem. A network of many instruments can be
formed, all controlled by one computer by using the address-
ability mode.
This chapter will describe the Serial Port interfacing of the
System 824 and the various interface commands with their
syntax. Modem control is also covered.
