Command Reference
Communication Subsystem (:SYSTem:COMMunicate)
Chapter 4166
:PMETer:TIMEout
Supported All
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:PMETer:TIMEout <num>[<time suffix>]
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:PMETer:TIMEout?
This command sets the period of time which the signal generator will wait for a valid
reading from the power meter.
The variable <num> has a resolution of 0.001.
*RST N/A
Range 1mS–100S
Key Entry
Meter Timeout
Remarks The setting enabled by this command is not affected by signal
generator power-on, preset, or *RST.
The power meter is controlled only through a GPIB cable.
If a time-out occurs, the signal generator reports an error message.
:SERial:BAUD
Supported All
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:BAUD <number>
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:BAUD?
This command sets the baud rate for the rear panel RS-232 interface (AUXILIARY
INTERFACE).
*RST N/A
Key Entry
RS-232 Baud Rate
Remarks The setting enabled by this command is not affected by signal
generator power-on, preset, or *RST.
Choices <number>: 300 1200 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 57600
