data string or status word.

A terminator sequence can be programmed by sending the Y command followed
by an appropriate parameter. One of the most commonly used terminators is the
carriage return, line feed (CR LF) sequence (YU). Selecting the wrong terminator for
the controller could cause the bus to hang up.
Upon power up or after a DCL or SDC command is received, the YU terminator will
be selected.
To selectthe line feed, carriage return (LF CR) terminator sequence, type the follow-
ing lines into the computer:
When the second statement is executed, the LF CR terminator sequence will be used;
the instrument will terminate each data string or status word with an LF CR sequence.
This may cause problems in controllers which
terminate~on LF
and don't discard CR.
