    SENSe Subsystem The SENse subsystem receives data from an external device and sends it to the host (system) computer. The port to be affected by the command is specified by the port number after the :SERial command (i.e. :SERial1 is Port 1, :SERial2 is Port 2, etc.).

  • Page 28: Sense:serial[1|2|3|4]:Data? [N]

    SENSe:SERIAL[1|2|3|4]:DATA? [ n ] This command receives either a binary block of information or ASCII text from the external device. The command stores the binary data in a buffer until a terminating condition is reached. When the terminating condition is reached, the binary data is sent to the host (system) computer.

  • Page 29: Source Subsystem

    This command sends a quoted ASCII text string from the host computer through the specified HP E2261A port to an external device. Only the text string is sent, the quotation marks are not sent (to send a quotation mark, use the SOURce:SERial[ ]:DATA command).

  • Page 82 Port Interrupt Status / The Interrupt Status / Control registers are read/write registers at addresses for Port 1, 3A for Port 2, 3C for Port 3, or 3E for Port 4. If a port has Control Registers an interrupt request, the host controller can read the respective register to determine the cause of the interrupt.
  • Page 83 port. • ETE: When set to a “1”, this bit enables the Transmit FIFO Empty Interrupt for the port. • ERT: When set to a “1”, this bit enables the Receive Time-out Interrupt. • ERF: When set to a “1”, this bit enables the Receive FIFO Filled Interrupt for the port.
