SYSTem Subsystem

This subsystem is used to set the controls and parameters associated with the 
overall system communication. These functions are not related to instrument 
performance.

GPIB Address 

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[1][:SELF]:ADDRess <integer>

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[1][:SELF]:ADDRess?

Sets and queries the GPIB address.

NOTE

This command applies only to analyzers having Option A4H. Only one Option 
A4H can be installed in an instrument.

Factory Preset
and *RST:  

It is set to 18 by 

:SYSTem:PRESet:PERSistent

, which sets 

the persistent state values to their factory defaults.

This command is persistent. The term persistent means that the 
command retains the setting previously selected, even through a 
power cycle.

Range:  

Integer, 0 to 30

Front Panel
Access:  

System, Remote Port

Serial Port DTR Setup 

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial[1]:CONTrol:DTR OFF|ON|IBFull

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial[1]:CONTrol:DTR?

Sets the hardware pacing scheme. Only one Option 1AX can be installed in an 
instrument.

Off - holds the DTR line in the unasserted (off) condition

On - holds the DTR line in the asserted (on) condition

IBFull - selects the input buffer full mode for the DTR line. The IBFull 
parameter sets the DTR line to indicate when the device is ready to receive. 
When the number of received bytes in the input buffer of the device reaches the 
stop threshold, the device will unassert the DTR line. When the number of 
bytes has been reduced to the start threshold, the device will assert DTR 
indicating that it can receive input again. The device will also monitor the state 
of CTS and will stop transmission if the line becomes unasserted.
