even parity with 7 data bits when shipped from the factory.
Select one of the following: None (8 data bits), Even (7 data bits), or
Odd (7 data bits). When you set the parity, you are indirectly setting
the number of data bits.
The parity selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
Front Panel operation: set the parity under the 4: PARITY
command in the I/O menu.
See also "To Set the Parity," on page 191.
Remote operation: use the following commands to set the parity:
SYStem:COMMunicate:SERial:PARity {EVEN|ODD|NONE}
If you change the parity over the remote interface, you may lose control of
