BNC 1201 - 6 1/2 Digit Digital Multimeter - Manual (Page 163)

configuration states are left unchanged when a device clear message is
received. Device clear performs the following actions.
All measurements in progress are aborted.
The multimeter returns to the trigger “idle state.”
The multimeter’s input and output buffers are cleared.
The multimeter is prepared to accept a new command string.
For RS-232 operation, sending the <Ctrl-C> character will perform the
equivalent operations of the IEEE-488 device clear message.
The multimeter’s DTR (data terminal ready) handshake line will be true
following a device clear message. See “DTR/DSR Handshake Protocol,”
for further details.
TALK ONLY for Printers
You can set the address to “31” which is the talk only mode. In this mode,
the multimeter can output readings directly to a printer without being
addressed by a bus controller (over either HP-IB or RS-232).
For proper operation, make sure your printer is configured in the listen
always mode. Address 31 is not a valid address if you are operating the
multimeter from the HP-IB interface with a bus controller.
If you select the RS-232 interface and then set the HP-IB address to the
talk only address (31), the multimeter will send readings over the
RS-232 interface when in the local mode.
