1.5.18 Remote Mode EIA-232 Port Initialization

The CC-3 required that to use the EIA-232 port, the port had to be initialized by switching the mode switch to SETUP before switching to REMOTE mode. The C4 eliminates this requirement. The EIA-232 port is initialized each time the remote switch is switched to REMOTE mode.

1.5.19 Remote Mode Fault Tolerant Parser

The C4 uses a very fault tolerant parser. Command strings received over either the EIA-232 or GPIB ports are converted to upper case, extra spaces and tabs are removed, commas are converted to spaces and line terminators are corrected if necessary. For this reason, programs that work properly with the C4 and not with a CC-3, that use only CC-3 commands, probably have syntax errors that the C4 parser corrects. See Section 9.7.7
