RSĆ232 Conventions
You should be aware of the processing conventions that are specific to the
RSĆ232 interface. These conventions pertain to:
H Transferring binary data
H Processing break signals
H RSĆ232 I/O errors
H Service Requests
H Hardcopies
When Transferring Binary Data Ċ to the oscilloscope via the RSĆ232
port, note the following:
H Do not use binary data transfers with soft flagging unless you can ensure
that the data does not contain XON or XOFF characters. Using RTS/CTS
(hard) flagging guarantees correct data transfer.
H All eight bits of binary data contain meaningful information. To ensure that
all eight bits are received or transmitted, an RSĆ232 device which is
connected to the oscilloscope must be configured to receive and transmit
eightĆbit characters (set the RSĆ232 word length to eight bits).
