To Set the Parity
You can select the parity for RS-232 operation. The multimeter is
configured for even parity with 7 data bits when shipped from the
factory. See also “Parity Selection,” on page 93.
1 Turn on the front-panel menu.
A: MEAS MENU
2 Move across to the I/O MENU choice on this level.
E: I/O MENU
3 Move down a level and then across to the PARITY command.
4: PARITY
4 Move down to the “parameter” level to select the parity.
Use the left/right arrow keys to see the parity choices. Choose from one of
the following: None (8 data bits), Even (7 data bits), or Odd (7 data bits).
When you set parity, you are indirectly setting the number of data bits.
EVEN: 7 BITS
5 Save the change and turn off the menu.
The parity selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
