COMMAND REFERENCE

LDX-3232 Device-Dependent Command Reference

"rad hex; *ESR?" -action: the hexadecimal radix is selected; -response: #H80, means power-on was detected.

RADix?					FRONT PANEL
					REMOTE
	The RADix? query allows the programmer to determine that radix type for status,
	condition, and event query response data is currently selected. Decimal, binary, octal,
	and hexadecimal are allowed.
		:	RAD	?
	- where the character response data of DEC means decimal, BIN means binary, HEX
	means hexadecimal, and OCT means octal.
Notes	DEC is the default type. The LDX-3232 defaults to this radix at power-up.
	The RADix command is used to select the desired radix. Once it is changed, the new
	radix will remain in effect until the power is shut off or a new RADix command is issued.
Examples	"RAD?"		-response: Dec, means the selected radix is decimal.

"rad?" -response: Hex, means the selected radix is hexadecimal.

"RADIX?" -response: Oct, means the selected radix is octal.

SECURE

FRONT PANEL

REMOTE

The SECURE command allows the service technician access to the protected user data command, *PUD, that is a common command. This data is normally changed only at the factor, and therefore the SECURE command is not needed by the user.

TERM

FRONT PANEL

REMOTE

The TERM command allows the programmer to change the default (GPIB/IEEE488 standard) terminator to include the carriage return.

:TERM

<white

space>

<nrf

value>

Parameters	An <nrf value>, 0=FALSE, non-zero=TRUE
Notes	An altered terminator will be in the form <CR><NL><^END>. This technically takes the
	LDX-3232 out of GPIB/IEEE488 specification, but may be done for convenience when
	using non standard GPIB controllers. This termination will be sent with all output until the
	"TERM 0" command is sent or the LDX-3232 is powered off.
Examples	"Term 1" -temporarily sets <CR><NL><^END> as the output terminator.
	"Term 0" -sets the GPIB/IEEE488 standard <NL><^END>terminator. This is the
	LDX-3232 default value.
