Data Format
The RS-232 interface of this instrument performs communication using start-stop synchronization.
In start-stop synchronization, characters are transmitted one at a time. Each character consists of a
start bit, data bits, a parity bit, and a stop bit (see the following figure).
Data bits
(7 or 8 bits)
1 character
Stop
bits
1
1 or 2

Parity bit
Even, odd,
or none
Start bit
Circuit
idle
state
The circuit returns to the
idle state (dotted line)
or is activated (solid line)
if the start bit of the next
piece of data is available.
Select the data length and parity stop bit from the following options.
8-NO-1, 7-EVEN-1, 7-ODD-1, 7-NO-2
