RS-232 Interface Configuration
See also “Remote Interface Configuration,” on page 114 in chapter 3.
You connect the function generator to the
RS-232 interface using the
9-pin (
DB-9) serial connector on the rear panel. The function generator
is configured as a
DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device. For all
communications over the
RS-232 interface, the function generator
uses two handshake lines:
DTR (Data Terminal Ready) on pin 4 and
DSR (Data Set Ready) on pin 6.
The following sections contain information to help you use the function
generator over the
RS-232 interface. The programming commands for
RS-232 are listed on page 200.
RS-232 Configuration Overview
Configure the RS-232 interface using the parameters shown below.
Use the front-panel
I/O MENU to select the baud rate, parity, and
number of data bits (see also pages 219 and 220 for more information).
Baud Rate: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600 baud (factory setting)
Parity and Data Bits: None / 8 data bits (factory setting)
Even / 7 data bits, or
Odd / 7 data bits
Number of Start Bits: 1 bit (fixed)
Number of Stop Bits: 2 bits (fixed)
To download binary data for arbitrary waveforms over the RS-232
interface, you must select
8 data bits with no parity.
