COMMAND REFERENCE

LDX-3232 Device-Dependent Command Reference

C H A P T E R 4

TERM?							FRONT PANEL
TERM?							REMOTE
							REMOTE
	The TERM? query allows the programmer to determine whether the default
	(IEEE488.2 standard) terminator has been altered to include a carriage return.
			:	TERM	?
				TERM	?
	- where the response is 0 or 1.
Notes	An altered terminator will be in the form <CR><NL><^END>. This termination will be
	sent with all output until the "TERM 0" command is sent, or the LDX-3232 is powered off.
Examples	"Term?"			-response: 1, means that the <CR><NL><^END> terminator is temporarily
	being used.
	"Term?" -response: 0, means that the <NL><^END> terminator (GPIB/IEEE488
	standard) is being used.

TIME?							FRONT PANEL
TIME?							REMOTE
							REMOTE
	The TIME? query allows the programmer to determine how much time has passed since
	the LDX-3232 was last powered up.
		:		TIME	?
				TIME	?
	- where the response is character data in the form: hours:minutes:seconds.
Notes	The TIME clock is independent of the TIMER clock.
Examples	"Time?" -response: 1:02.36, means that one minute and 2.36 seconds have passed
	since the LDX-3232 was powered up.

"TIME?" -response: 32:00:76, means that 32 minutes and 0.76 seconds have passed since the LDX-3232 was powered up.
