Display Update (On/Off) ← GPIB ← General Setup
Defines whether the instrument display is switched off when changing from manual
operation to remote control. In remote control mode, this softkey is displayed in the
local menu.
Remote command:
GPIB Terminator LFEOI/EOI ← GPIB ← General Setup
Changes the GPIB receive terminator.
According to the standard, the terminator in ASCII is <LF> and/or <EOI>. For binary
data transfers (e.g. trace data) from the control computer to the instrument, the binary
code used for <LF> might be included in the binary data block. Therefore, it should not
be interpreted as a terminator in this particular case. This can be avoided by changing
the receive terminator to EOI.
Remote command:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:RTERminator
*IDN Format Leg./New ← GPIB ← General Setup
Defines the response format to the

together with the R&S
ESR.

Remote command:
I/O Logging (On/Off) ← GPIB ← General Setup
Activates or deactivates the SCPI log function. All remote control commands received
by the R&S
ESR are recorded in the following log file:
C:\R_S\Instr\scpilogging\ScpiLog.txt
Logging the commands can be extremely useful for debug purposes, e.g. to find mis-
spelled keywords in control programs.
Remote command:
Time+Date ← General Setup
Opens an edit dialog box to enter time and date for the internal real-time clock.
