signed numbers sequentially starting with 1 for the base serial port. The com-
mand SYST:CONF:PDEV? (Section 6.5.8.16) can be used to query the number
of installed printer devices. Giving a <Boolean> parameter value of ON or 1
enables printing and OFF or 0 disables printing. Measurements are printed one
measurement per line with the channel number, measurement value, unit, time,
and date. Use the appropriate communication commands (Section 6.5.7) or de-
vice setup commands (Section 6.5.8.20) to configure printer port options such
as baud rate or linefeed enable. The *RST command sets all printer devices
OFF.
Example command: HCOP:PRIN ON
6.5.6.4
HCOPy:PRINter[n][:STATe]?
This query command returns the state of the given printer device. The printer
device number is given by the PRIN suffix
n
. If it is omitted printer port 1, the
base serial port, is assumed. The response is 1 if printing to the device is en-
abled or 0 if disabled.
Example command: HCOP:PRIN?
Example response: 1
6.5.7
Communication Interface Commands
This group of commands (Table 19) controls the base serial port configuration
options. Configuration of add-on communication ports is done using the
SYST:MOD:DEV:WRIT command as explained in Section 6.5.8.20.
6.5.7.1
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial[:RECeive]:BAUD <numeric_value>
This command sets the baud rate of the base serial port. The <numeric_value>
parameter specifies the desired baud rate. The nearest possible baud rate will be
selected. The baud rate is not affected by the *RST command.
Example command: SYST:COMM:SER:BAUD 2400
6.5.7.2
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial[:RECeive]:BAUD?
This query command returns the baud rate of the base serial port.
Example command: SYST:COMM:SER:BAUD?
Example response: 2400
6.5.7.3
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial[:RECeive]:FDUPlex <Boolean>
This command sets the duplex or echo mode of the base serial port. The
<Boolean> parameter turns on or off full duplex. A value of 1 or ON turns full
duplex on and 0 or OFF turns it off. If full duplex is ON, all characters received
will be echoed back. Duplex is not affected by the *RST command.
Example command: SYST:COMM:SER:FDUP OFF
