The 

setting commands

 required to this end read as follows: 

*ESE 52

ERAE 56

ERBE 190

*SRE 52

.

As soon as one of these events occurs, the KONSTANTER is 
no longer able to execute the desired setting.

RS 232C Serial Interface

Use of the 

SRQ

 service request function is 

not possible

 via the 

RS 232 serial interface.

Similar results 

can nevertheless be obtained.

Set the 

PRE

 register (parallel poll enable) to the same value as 

the 

SRE

 register (status byte enable register).

Now query and evaluate the 

IST

 individual status message.

Query and evaluation can be executed cyclically, and/or each 
time data is transmitted to the KONSTANTER .
