for power-up (see PAR. 3.5.6.2.3 for a description of prompt mode).
Enable - Enables Serial Prompt (see PAR. 3.5.6.2.3 for a description of prompt mode).
Disable - Disables Prompt. If both Serial XON/XOFF and Prompt functions are disabled, Echo
mode is the default (see PAR. 3.5.6.2.2 for a description of Xon/Xoff mode).
Enab+echo - Enables Serial Prompt (see PAR. 3.5.6.2.3) and Echo (see PAR. 3.5.6.2.2)
modes. Prompt is returned when the unit is ready and any received characters are echoed back
to the sender.

3.5.3.4 BIT 4882 COMPATIBILITY.
The BOP 1KW is not directly compatible with the older BOP models using a BIT 4882 for remote
control, as there are differences in behavior between the two: In response to the command line:
outp off;:volt 10 the BIT 4882 would set the output to 10 volts, while the BOP 1KW will
remain in the output OFF state until OUTP On is sent. The closest approximation to using the
BOP 1KW to mimic the BOP/BIT 4882 is to use OUTP:CONT ON and SYST:SET CM0 com-
mands to configure the unit. The BOP 1KW response to the command line outp off;:volt
10 would then be to set the output to OFF for 100 milliseconds, then return to the ON.
3.5.3.5 BIT 4886 COMPATIBILITY
Althought the SYST:SET command can be used to configure the BOP 1KW the same way the
BIT 4886 is configured, the BOP 1KW is not directly compatible with the older BOP models
using a BIT 4886 for remote control. There are differences in behavior between the two in han-
dling LIST commands, status reporting and trigger operation as described below.
3.5.3.5.1 LIST COMMAND DIFFERENCES IN BIT 4886
The LIST commands of the older BOP/BIT 4886 are the same as the BOP 1K except as follows:
• LIST:DWELL - The BOP/BIT 4886 range is from 0.0005 to 5.0 seconds while the BOP
1KW range is from 0.000091 to 0.034 seconds. The BOP 1KW is faster but has less
range than the BOP/BIT 4886.
• LIST:CLEAR sets the LIST:COUNT to 0 in the BOP 1KW but LIST:COUNT is set to 1 in
the BOP/BIT 4886.
• The BOP 1KW has additional LIST commands not found in the BOP/BIT 4886.
3.5.3.5.2 STATUS REPORTING DIFFERENCES IN BIT 4886
The status register responses from the BOP 1KW and the BOP BIT/4886 are very different. If
these commands are used, then changes will be required in the user’s program. Commands
affected are: SYST:OPER, SYST:QUES, *ESR and *STB.
