If you want to change only the timeout value for serial polls, a
comma must precede the serial poll timeout value.
If you call
tmo
without an argument, the GPIB-232CT returns
a numeric string representing the current timeout settings. It
records the EARG error if you specify a time value outside the
range .00001 to 3600.
The assignment made by this function remains in effect until
you call
tmo
again, call
onl
, or turn off the GPIB-232CT.
