Command Descriptions
incoming data u
ntil the input buffer is full and then reports a n input overrun
error. The oscilloscope asserts DTR (Data Terminal Ready) at all times when
the oscilloscope power is on.
Hard flagging and soft flagging cannot be on at the same time. However, hard and
soft flagging ca n both be off at the same time. Turning hard flagging on turns soft
flagging off. Turning soft flagging on turns hard flagging off.
Conditions
This command applies to the TDS200, TDS1000, TDS2000, and TPS2000 Series
only.
Group

Syntax
RS232:HARDFlagging { ON | OFF | <NR1> }
RS232:HARDFlagging?
Arguments
ON or <NR1> ≠ 0 activates hard flagging and turns off soft flagging.
OFF or <NR1> = 0 deactivates hard flagging (RTS always asserted).
Examples
RS232:HARDFLAGGING ON activates hard flagging and deactivates soft flagging.
RS232:PARity
Sets or queries the parity used for all RS-232C data transfers. When parity is odd
or even, the oscilloscope generates the selected parity on output and checks all
input against the selected parity. When parity is none, the oscilloscope performs
no input parity error checks and generates no output parity.
When the parity (ninth) bit does not match the parity type, the oscilloscope reports
a parity error. If another command is sent immediately after this command,
without waiting for the parity to be programmed, the fi rst few characters may be
lost.
Conditions
This command applies to the TDS200, TDS1000, TDS2000, and TPS2000 Series
only.
