Description
Programming
Examples
Upon power-up or after a DCL or SDC command is received over the bus, the instrument will
return to the terminator that was saved as the default condition.
By using the Y comman d, you can program the number and type of terminator characters the
instrument sends at the end of its data string. Available terminator characters are the corn-
monlyusedCR(carriageretum;AS~13),andLF(linefeed;ASCIIlO) characters.Thesetermi-
nators are recognized by most controllers. Selec+ing the wrong terminator for the controller
could cause the bus to hang.
You also have the option of selecting that no terminators be sent (a co~~unon choice for binary
output data format).
