e.g. 1.23 can also be entered as 0.000000123
–6
1230000 10 . If you enter more digits than the counter
*
needs, your entry will be truncated. The counter will stop if
an entry is out of the counters range. To proceed, the
status message 'Programming error' must be reset, see
'Status byte'.

Selecting Output Separator

Output separators terminate messages from the counter
to the controller. The separator needed is different for dif-
ferent controllers; see the Operators' Manual for your con-
troller.
At power on, the output separator of the counter is line-
feed 'LF' (10 ).
decimal
The output separator can be changed by sending SPR
<number> to the counter. <number> is the decimal value
of the ISO (ASCII)-code for the desired separator. It can
be 0-26, 28-31, ESC code, 27, is not accepted.
Only one <number> can be entered as separator. If you
want the combination of CR+LF (13
lected by 'SPR 255'.
EXAMPLE:
SPR 13 changes the output separator to CR
SPR 255 changes the output separator to CR+LF
The counter can signal EOI together with the last output
separator in responses and output data.
EOI ON switches on the function.
EOI OFF switches it off.
Default setting is EOI OFF.
The selected separator and EOI will not be altered by LO-
CAL from the front panel nor by LOCAL or 'Device clear'
from the bus.

How to Select Function

Standard Functions
Functions are selected by sending the appropriate func-
tion command to the counter, e.g. FREQ A. The space be-
tween FREQ and A indicates the input separator that you
always must insert.

** Don't use VMAX B or VMIN B together with COM B
via A to measure the voltage on input A. The re-
sults will be unreliable.
When the counter switches to LOCAL, the function indi-
cated by the Function-cursor will be selected.
The counter will not return to the 'bus only' function when
it returns to remote. To return to the 'bus only' function you
must re-program the counter.
The specifications of some 'bus-only' functions differ from
the specifications of it's similar front-panel selectable func-
tion. See 'Specifications'.
