DESCRIPTION
COMM_RS232, CORS
Command/Query
The command COMM_RS232 sets the parameters of the
RS-232-C port for remote control.
The COMM RS232? query reports the settings of the parameters.
Note: This command is ONLY valid if the oscilloscope is being
remotely controlled via the RS-232-C port.
The parameters are:
a.
DUPLEX behavior mode.
b. End Input character. When received by the oscilloscope, this
character will be interpreted as the END-of-a-command
message marker. The commands received will be parsed and
executed.
c. End Output string. The oscilloscope will add this string at the
end of a response message. When the host computer receives
this string, it knows that the oscilloscope has completed its
response.
d. Line Length. This parameter defines the maximum number
of characters that will be sent to the host in a single line.
Remaining characters of the response will be output in sepa-
rate additional lines. This parameter is only applicable if a
line separator has been selected.
e. Line Separator. This parameter is used to select the line split-
ting mechanism and to define the characters used to split the
oscilloscope response messages into many lines. Possible line
separators are: CR, LF, CRLF. A <CR>, a <LF> or a <CR>
followed by a <LF> will be sent to the host computer after
<line length> characters.
f. SRQ string. This string is sent each time the oscilloscope
wants to signal an SRQ to the host computer.
Note: Some parameters of this command require ASCII strings as
actual arguments. In order to facilitate the embedding of non-
printable characters into such strings, escape sequences may be
