The TERM command allows the programmer to change the default
(GPIB/IEEE488 standard) terminator to include the carriage return.
The TERM? query allows the programmer to determine whether the default
(IEEE488.2 standard) terminator has been altered to include a carriage return.
- where the response is 0 or 1.
Parameters
0, FALSE =uses <NL><^END> termination
1, TRUE = uses <NR><NL><^END> termination
Notes
An altered terminator will be in the form <CR><NL><^END>. This technically takes the
LDX-32420 out of GPIB/IEEE488 specification, but may be done for convenience when
using non standard GPIB controllers. This termination will be sent with all output until the
"TERM 0" command is sent or the LDX-32420 is powered off.
An altered terminator will be in the form <CR><NL><^END>. This termination will be
sent with all output until the "TERM 0" command is sent, or the LDX-32420 is powered
off. This command has no affect over USB.
Examples
"Term 1" - temporarily sets <CR><NL><^END> as the output terminator.
"Term?" - response: 1, means that the <CR><NL><^END> terminator is temporarily
being used.
The TIME? query allows the programmer to determine how much time has passed since
the LDX-32420 was last powered up.
- where the response is character data in the form: hours:minutes:seconds.
Notes
The TIME clock is independent of the TIMER clock.
Examples
"Time?" - response: 1:02.36, means that one minute and 2.36 seconds have passed
since the LDX-32420 was powered up.
The TIMER? query allows the programmer to determine how much time has passed
since the last TIMER? query was issued.
- where the response is character data that represents hours:minutes:seconds.
Notes
Each time the TIMER? query is issued, the timer is reset to 0 and the elapsed time since
the last TIMER? query is returned.
The timer counter is initially set at power-up, the same as the TIME? counter. So the first
time the TIMER? is issued its response will be the same as if a TIME? query's response.
Examples
"Timer?" -response: 00:02:00.31, means the LDX-32420 has been on for two minutes
and 0.31 seconds since the last TIMER? query was issued.
