Baud Rate Selection (RS-232)
You can select one of six baud rates for RS-232 operation. The rate is set
to 9600 baud when the function generator is shipped from the factory.
The baud rate can be set from the front-panel only.
• Select one of the following: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, or
9600 baud.
The factory setting is 9600 baud.
• The baud rate selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• Front-Panel Operation:
3: BAUD RATE (I/O MENU)
See also “To set the baud rate,” on page 219.
Parity Selection (RS-232)
You can select the parity for RS-232 operation. The function generator
is configured for no parity and 8 data bits when shipped from the factory.
The parity can be set from the front-panel only.
• Select one of the following:
None (8 data bits), Even (7 data bits),
or Odd (7 data bits). When you set the parity, you are indirectly
setting the number of data bits.
• The parity selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• To download binary data for arbitrary waveforms over the
RS-232
interface, you must select 8 data bits with no parity.
• Front-Panel Operation:
4: PARITY (I/O MENU)
See also “To set the parity,” on page 220.
