SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:PARity
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:PARity?
Sets or queries the type of parity for the front panel RS-232 port. Parity provides
a minimum level of data security by appending one data bit to each transmitted
character to achieve an even or odd number of “1” digits. Both transmit and
receive values are set by this command. Refer to the TVS600 & TVS600A Series
Waveform Analyzers User Manual for the factory setting.
When you set :SERial:PARity, the new value is stored in nonvolatile RAM and
is recalled at power up. However, the parity mode is not saved with stored
settings (*LRN) and it is not reset to a default value by *RST.
