11.4 Format and Commands of Output Data (before
the IEEE 488.2-1987 Standard)
Output Format
The format of output data is the same as for the GP-IB interface. For details, see section
10.4.
Commands
The commands used for the RS-232-C interface are identical to those used for the GP-IB
interface, except for the following commands.
DL/DL?<terminator>
Sets or inquires about output data terminator.
Syntax
DLm <terminator>
“m” indicates terminator
m= 0: CR + LF
1: LF
2: CR
Query
DL?<terminator>
Example
DL1
Note
If a value outside the setting range is set, an error code will appear.
The interface message function of the GP-IB interface is assigned to the following
commands at the RS-232-C interface.
<ESC>S<terminator>
Equivalent to GP-IB’s serial poll function. Status byte is output when the S command
is received following reception of the <ESC> code (1BH).
<ESC>R<terminator>
Equivalent to GP-IB’s remote/local control function. The instrument is placed in
remote status and panel keys become invalid when the R command is received
following reception of the <ESC> code (1BH). Press the LOCAL key to exit from the
remote status.
<ESC>L
<terminator>
Equivalent to GP-IB’s remote/local control function. When the instrument is in remote
status, the instrument will be placed in local status when the L command is received
following reception of the <ESC> code (1BH).
<ESC>C<terminator>
Equivalent to GP-IB’s device clear function. The communication devices of this
instrument are initialized when the C command is received following reception of the
<ESC> code (1BH).
