SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:CONTrol:RTS?
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:CONTrol:RTS controls the behavior of the Request
To Send (RTS) output line. RTS can be a static state (ON/OFF), or it can be used as
a hardware handshake line (IBFull).
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:CONTrol:RTS? returns a string (enumerated) with
the control value for RS-232 communication. The string is either “ON”, “OFF”, or
“IBF.”
Parameters

Comments
•

•

When the buffer becomes full, RTS becomes unasserted.
