4.8.6 Serial Data Out Format
The Serial Data Out Format menu also accesses the Data
Format, Data Flow, and Number Format tabs, which allow the
format of serial output to be easily changed. Many data values
can be transmitted through the serial ports, as listed below:
NOTE: Serial output data values are selected from the Setup -
Data... Menu, and each item has its own menu. Check the de-
sired option from that menu to enable transmission of the item
from the serial port.
Parameter options from the Data Format tab are listed below. Note that the serial port #1 or the serial USB must
be set up as described under Serial Port #1.

The second tab under Serial Output Format allows you to con-
trol the flow of data to the serial output. You can enable or disa-
ble the Autosend feature, specify a minimum time period for Au-
tosend, and select a request character from default settings. The
Measurement Request Character can be sent to the BenchMike
Pro to remotely start the measurement process. This function
must be enabled in the serial port settings from the Setup
System Communication Ports Menu. Options for Measure-
ment Request Character are:
