Modes of Operation Within C Mode

Modes of Operation Within C Mode

Four modes of operation are available within C Mode to define when the GPIB device is addressed to talk or listen. These modes are as follows:

• Timeout termination
• <CR> termination
• <LF> termination
• No-swap

In all modes, the instrument is addressed to listen after the GPIB-RS232/485/422 becomes CIC. All data received via the serial port is buffered and passed along to the device. The four modes of operation define the point at which the GPIB device is unaddressed to listen and addressed to talk so that data can be sent from the device to the GPIB-RS232/485/422.
