Main Menu > Utilities > Serial > ParityBit
Select whether the serial port will transmit a parity bit, and if so, its polarity. This parameter must be set -
setting instrument defaults has no effect.
None Don’t transmit any parity bit.
Odd Transmit an odd parity bit: sends a 1 if the number of 1’s in the data bits is odd,
otherwise sends a 0.
Even Transmit an even parity bit: sends a 1 if the number of 1’s in the data bits is even,
otherwise sends a 0.
Remote Command: SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:PARity <NONE, ODD, EVEN>
Main Menu > Utilities > Serial > Handshake
Select the serial port handshake mode for the RTS line. This parameter must be set - setting instrument
defaults has no effect.
None No handshaking takes place - the RTS line is ignored, and the DTR line is always
asserted.
RTS The RTS line is used for hardware handshaking.
Remote Command: SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:CONTrol:RTS <OFF, ON>
Main Menu > Utilities > Recorder > Outp.Sig
Select whether the recorder output will be enabled.
Off The recorder output is disabled, and will always output 0.0 volts. (Default)
On The recorder output is enabled, using the defined mode.
Remote Command: OUTput:RECOrder:SIGnal <OFF, ON>
Main Menu > Utilities > Recorder > Channel
Select which channel’s measurement will be tracked by the recorder output.
Channel 1 The recorder output will generate a voltage proportional to the primary measure-
ment of channel 1. (Default)
Channel 2 The recorder output will generate a voltage proportional to the primary measure-
ment of channel 2.
Remote Command: OUTput:RECOrder:SOURce <CH1, CH2>
Main Menu > Utilities > Recorder > Meas Mode
Select the measurement and scaling mode for the recorder output.
Auto The recorder output will generate an automatically ranged signal that follows the
primary reading of the selected channel. The output voltage is automatically
scaled, and will span the full output voltage once for each decade of signal level.
The voltage will be proportional to power when linear units are in use, and propor-
tional to the log of power when logarithmic units are in use. (Default)
