The Terminal mode must not be used if the multidrop port is daisy-chained to
other instruments.
The mode may be changed using the INTERFACE MENU through the INTERFACE
MODE menu selection. When in Terminal mode, this choice may be made
manually, or through the serial port. The mode may be changed from Command to
Terminal through the serial port using the REMOTE command. For information on
required communication parameters refer to the REMOTE command in section
4.4.5.2.
4.4 Serial Command Control
When in the Command mode, two command sets are available. These are the

set is recommended for general use. The Bavarian Network command set was set
to support a specialized network in Bavaria. Additionally, three communication
protocols are provided to allow the user to specify the different handshaking based
on their requirements.
