Alphabetical reference		Commands and Queries Reference
SYNC	program the Power Module’s Sync Pulse Generation Enable Event.
	Syntax	SYNC <ch>,<int>
	Parameters	the number of the Power Module to be programmed.
		the event that will cause the Power Module to
		generate a Sync Pulse:
		0 = output has settled to within 2% (of full scale)
		of the SET limiting value (voltage or current).
		1 = a trigger was received.
		2 = a new SET value is programmed.
		3 = never generate a Sync Pulse.
	Category	Trigger and Sync	Type: Sequential
SYNC?	return the current Sync Pulse Generation Enable Event for the Power
	Module. Result is a decimal number in the range 0 to 3.
	Syntax	SYNC? <ch>
	Parameters	the number of the channel to be queried.
	Category	Trigger and Sync	Type: Sequential
TOEN	enables or disables the remote communication time out feature.
	Syntax	TOEN <int>
	Parameters	a value of “0” disables the feature and a value of “1”
		to “5” enables it. When enabled, the time out counter
		starts. The operation performed upon time out will
		be:
		0 = none.
		1 = group (defined with TOGRP) shut down.
		2 = recall from area 9.
		3 = start the sequence program.
		4 = store into area 8 then recall from area 9.
		5 = store into area 8 then start the sequence program.
	Category	System	Type: Sequential

The communication time out feature works for both the RS232 and the GPIB interfaces. When the XMP 2600 is powered-up and the time out feature was enabled when the XMP 2600 was last used, one of two things may happen: if POR is enabled the T.O. counter starts immediately following the retain operation. If POR is disabled the T.O. counter starts following the first character received from the remote controller.

If the XMP 2600 is being reset using the front panel key combination (DEL+LCL) then the time out feature will be disabled. All other reset operations do not disable the time out feature.
