Check of block and line composition
Upon any mismatch in block and line composition,
instruments will transmit an error message (block 99)
containing the appropriate error code.
Whenever a block or line composition error occurs, this
indicates that the host software is not completely
configured as described in this manual and has to be
modified accordingly.
Instruments never change the block and line composition
unless the relevant configuration settings have been
changed.

Receive timeout
An exactly defined response time cannot be guaranteed.
However, a returned response can be expected within
60 seconds. As a result, we recommend setting the host’s
time-out to 180 seconds.
q Time-out control is only foreseen on the host side.
Use the error handling as described.
Incompletely received messages (without an <EOT>
termination) will not be acknowledged by the instruments
(host time-out).
