User’s Manual
You can break data transmissions by sending a ^C (decimal 3) or ^X (decimal 18)
character string to the instrument. This clears any pending operation and discards
any pending output.
Baud rate
The baud rate is the rate at which the SourceMeter and the programming terminal
communicate. Choose one of these available rates:
• 57600
• 38400
• 19200
• 9600
• 4800
• 2400
• 1200
• 600
• 300
The factory selected baud rate is 9600.
When you choose a baud rate, make sure the programming terminal or printer
that you are connecting to the SourceMeter can support the baud rate you
selected. Both the SourceMeter and the other device must be configured for the
same baud rate.
Data bits and parity
The RS-232 interface can be configured to send/receive data that is 7 or 8 bits
long using even, odd, or no parity. No parity is only valid when using 8 data bits.
Terminator
The SourceMeter can be configured to terminate each program message that it
transmits to the controller with any of the following combinations of <CR> and
<LF>:
<CR> Carriage return
<CR+LF> Carriage return and line feed
<LF> Line feed
<LF+CR> Line feed and carriage return
