RS-232 Interface Commands
106 E3632A User’s Guide
RS-232 Interface Commands
Use the front- panel I/O Config key to select the baud rate,
parity, and the number of data bits (see “Remote Interface
Configuration” on page 51).
SYSTem:LOCal
This command places the power supply in the local mode
during RS- 232 operation. All keys on the front panel are
fully functional.
SYSTem:REMote
This command places the power supply in the remote mode
for RS- 232 operation. All keys on the front panel, except the
Local key, are disabled.
SYSTem:RWLock
This command places the power supply in the remote mode
for RS- 232 operation. This command is the same as the
SYST:REM command except that all keys on the front panel
are disabled, including the Local key.
Ctrl-C
This command clears the operation in progress over the
RS- 232 interface and discards any pending output data. This
is equivalent to the IEEE- 488 device clear action over the
GPIB interface.
NOTE
It is very important that you send the SYST:REM command to place the
power supply in the remote mode. Sending or receiving data over the
RS-232 interface when not configured for remote operation can cause
unpredictable results.
