:COMMunicate
:SERial[n]: …
The SYStem:COMMunicate:SERial[n]: … commands set and/or modify the
configuration of the serial interface(s) that are under control of the System
Instrument. The interface to be affected by the command is specified by a
number (zero through seven) which replaces the [n] in the :SERial[n]
command. The number is the interface’s card number. Card number zero
specifies the E1300/E1301 mainframe’s built-in interface while one through
seven specify one of up to seven E1324 B-size plug-in serial interface modules.
The serial interface installed at logical address 1 becomes card number 1, the
serial interface installed at the next sequential logical address becomes card
number 2 and so on. The logical addresses used by plug-in serial interfaces must
start at 1 and be contiguous (no unused logical addresses).
Comments • Serial communication commands take effect after the end of the program
message containing the command.
• Serial communication settings for the built-in RS-232 interface can be
stored in its non-volatile RAM only after the
DIAG:COMM:SER[n]:STORe command is executed. These settings are
used at power-up and DIAG:BOOT[:WARM].
