Allows a HELP feature for the setup of remote control programs to be
turned on. When the HELP feature
has been turned on, the 9400A
transmits character strings reflecting the message exchange between
the host computer
and the oscilloscope
to the REMOTE or to the
PLOTTER
RS-232-C
ports. These HELP messages
can be viewed
on a
normal display terminal.

Selects
a block transfer format, as described in Section 7.5. In
RS-232-C remote control, only format L is available.
BYTE is for 8-bit data.
WORD is for 16-bit data. This format is normally used for 16-bit
data being read from Memory C, Memory D, Function E or Function F.
Raw data in Channel 1 and Channel 2 are always 8-bit data. It is
possible to read raw or processed data as 16-bit words. Raw data
have
the measured
8-bit
value
in the most
significant
byte
(transmitted
first),
and zero
in the least
significant
byte
(transmitted after).
HEX results in 2 hexadecimal digits for each 8-bit value and in 4
hexadecimal digits for 16-bit value.
UNSIGNED FIXED uses 3 digits for BYTE data and 5 digits for WORD
data.
UNSIGNED SHORT uses only as many digits as required but separates
data values with a sign. The last parameter selects the separator
between numbers.
The default is <COMMA>.
