Waveform Terminator Yn

The waveform terminator command, Yn, is used to set the terminator character

that will be sent by the Analyzer488 after a waveform is sent. A waveform consists of
256 readings and each reading is one data point in a waveform. When the Analyzer488
is addressed to talk, it will append the waveform delimiter to each waveform.

The Y0 mode is the most commonly accepted terminator, CR-LF. Command Y1

reverses the sequence to send LF-CR. Command Y2, the default value, sends CR
only and Y3 sends LF only. The command Y4 sets the waveform terminator to the
value set by using the User Waveform Terminator command, Zn.
