the standard result mode.
Standard with Stamp: Select the measurement to send by placing a check in the corresponding
checkbox. See Standard Result Format on page 530 for an explanation of the standard result mode.
Custom: Enables the custom format editor. Use the replacement patterns listed in Replacement
Patterns to create a custom format in the editor.

Set the command delimiter, delimiter termination, and invalid value characters. Special characters are
used in commands and standard-format data results.

the same, the messages for both channels are transmitted on the same port.
