:COMMunicate DIAGnostic:COMMunicate:SERial[n]:STORe Stores the serial

:SERial[n]:STORe

communications parameters (e.g. BAUD, BITS, PARity etc.) into non-volatile

 

storage for the serial interface specified by [n] in SERial[n].

Comments

Until … STORe is executed, communication parameter values are stored

 

 

in volatile memory, and a power failure will cause the settings to be lost.

 

DIAG:COMM:SER(1-7):STOR causes an Agilent E1324A (B-size

 

 

RS-232 card) to store its settings in an on-board EEROM. This EEROM

 

 

write cycle takes nearly one second to complete. Wait for this operation

 

 

to complete before attempting to use that serial interface.

 

• The Agilent E1324A’s EEROM used to store its serial communication

 

 

settings has a finite lifetime of approximately ten thousand write cycles.

 

 

Even if your application program sent the … STORe command once

 

 

every day, the lifetime of the EEROM would still be over 27 years.

 

 

Be careful that your application program sends the … STORe command

 

 

to an Agilent E1324A no more often than is necessary.
