l

Cyclic

Here you can set how often it is sent. The next value is sent after the time 
given here has elapsed.

 

l

Adaptive

This option means that a new value is sent only when the value to be sent has 
changed.

 

l

Never

This option is intended for sending of an initialisation in conjunction with the 
next option. The string entered in the 

Format

 field is then sent only once for 

initialisation and never cyclically or adaptively.

 

l

Initialisation

This option enables you to set initialisation strings, for example, "Meas-
ure:Volt:DC" to switch a multimeter to DC measurement. If you have to send 
more than one sequence, enter a number via 

Sequence

 to determine whether 

the string entered in the 

Format

 field is to be sent first (

Sequence = 1

) or 

second (Sequence = 2) and so on. Use the 

Time settings

 tab to set a pause 

after sending an initialisation sequence in order to give the device time to pro-
cess the instruction.

Response expected

Enable this option so that the next output takes place only when the user 
has responded to the previous transmission with a string. The response 
string itself is not evaluated. Only reception is awaited. If the response con-
tains relevant information, you must define an input channel and then have 
the response evaluated.

Time settings tab

Use the 

Time settings

 tab if you need to use extra pauses for a message, 

e.g. to send initialisation to a device that then needs time to perform the ini-
tialisation.
