RS232:SOFTFlagging
Sets or queries the input and output soft fl agging over the RS-232C port. After
receiving an XOFF (DC3), the oscilloscope sends two or less characters. The
oscilloscope begins transmitting data again when it receives an XON (DC1)
character.
The oscilloscope sends an XOFF character when its input buffer is running out of
space. After sending an XOFF character it can receive at least 20 more bytes. It
sends XON when its input buffer has an acceptable number of free bytes.
When soft flagging is enabled and binary data is transferred, data transmission
will lock up if the data c ontains X OFF or XON characters.
Hard flagging and soft flagging cannot be active at the same time. H ow ever, hard
and soft fl agging can both be inactive at the same time. Activating soft flagging
deactivates hard flagging. Activating hard flagging deactivates s oft flagging.
Conditions
This command applies to the TDS200, TDS1000, TDS2000, and TPS2000 Series
only.

RS232:SOFTFlagging?
Arguments
ON or <NR1> ≠ 0 activates soft flagging and deactivates hard flagging.
OFF or <NR1> = 0 deactivates soft flagging.
Examples
RS232:SOFTFLAGGING ON activates soft flagging and deactivates hard flagging.
RS232:TRANsmit:TERMinator
Sets or queries the end-of-line (EOL) terminator. When transmitting, the
oscilloscope appends the terminator to the end of each message. When receiving,
