The OUTPUT TERMINATOR—also called "END-OF-TRANSMISSION TERMINA-
TOR (EOT)"—is a string of up to four ASCII CONTROL CHARACTERS from [00]
through [1F] to be transmitted at the end of each complete transmission from
the RS-232/485 Interface Port (in either RS-232 or RS-485 mode)—including
every response to a received MNEMONIC COMMAND (see Appendix B).

wards or backwards through allowed values of each active digit by pressing
its top or bottom segment, respectively. NOTE: The instrument will not accept
an OUTPUT TERMINATOR character entry greater that "1F," even though it is
possible to increment the most significant digit up to "7."**
y. When the desired character appears, press ENTER . The unit will display
Eot2 . Press ENTER to display the second character of the OUTPUT TERMI-
NATOR. Change it as you did for the first character, and press ENTER . The

acters of the OUTPUT TERMINATOR, if required.
