*Note:

 

> = Output from Model 75A250A 
< = Input to Model 75A250A 

Special Note:

  A null modem cable or adapter is required in order to properly interface the 

Model 75A250A to a standard serial port on a computer. 

Once the RS-232 interface is established, commands are processed in the same manner as that of 
the IEEE-488 interface.  The command structure is identical, except that there is no EOI line.  
Therefore, all commands are terminated with a line feed (<LF>).  Since this is a full-duplex 
asynchronous interface, if the Model 75A250A detects an error, the error message is immediately 
transmitted to the host controller.  These error messages are defined in 

Table  2-2. 

2.2.2.7.1  RS-232 port settings 

The RS-232 port settings used for communication with the Model 75A250A are as follows. 

Word Length:  8 bits 

Stop Bits: 

Baud Rate: 

1200–76,800 (switch-selectable) 

Parity:  None 

2.2.2.8 

Remote Commands  

The following commands are available to the user for remote communication and operation of the 
Model 75A250A.  In the descriptions of these commands, a lower-case “x” is used to signify a 
numeric value or parameter.
