REMOTE CONTROL (GPIB & RS-232) 5–1

5. REMOTE CONTROL (GPIB & RS-232)

5.1 RS-232 Control

5.1.1 Introduction

The RS-232 is a serial port designed to be used for communication between instruments and

control devices such as PCs fitted with a suitable interface card.

5.1.2 Protocol

Baud rate: 9600bps

Character length: 8bits

Stop bit: 1bit

Parity: Non-parity

Character: ASCII character

5.1.3 Commands

All the RS-232 commands and functions (with the exception of the SRQ function and the

DUMP-BMP command) are the same as the GPIB functions and commands detailed in section

5.2.

Commands are terminated by LF (line feed, ASCII code 10 (decimal); only the LF is effective

as the terminator.
