TERMINATORS

SEPARATORS
5.5.1
RS423 Port
In tabular
output
mode, each line of
data sent from the SI1
287
via
the RS423
port
is
automatically
terminated
with ’carriage return
line feed’, plus
padding ’nuF
characters.
In dump
mode, neither
output terminators
nor separators
are sent via the RS423
port.
5.5.2
GPIB Port
Each
line of data
output by the SII287
via the GPIB port
must be closed
by an
output terminator
(except in
dump mode). The
requirements of
the external
device
govern the choice
of terminator.
The instrument
generates ’carriage return
line
feed’
as the default terminator,
but others
may be selected
via the DATA
OUTPUT
{GPIB
}
O/P
TERMINATOR
menu or the OT
command.
Each line
of data consists
of several
’fields’ which require
output
separator
characters between
them (except in
dump mode).
The instrument
defaults
to
’comma’,
but others may
be selected via the
DATA OUTPUT
{GPIB}
O/P
SEPARATOR menu
or the OS command.
