Anritsu ML2430A - Manual (Page 91)

“1/15/98"
”Save “”cal_file"" now."
'Save “cal_file” now.'
This notation represents undelimited 7-bit ASCII text. The end of the text must be
terminated with the line feed character (0Ah, decimal 10) or a GPIB End of Trans-
mission State (EOI), or both. This requirement makes it necessary for ASCII> text to be transmitted only at the end of a program or response message,
that is, at the end of a multiple input or output statement.
Example of data represented by notation:
Anritsu,2410A,123456,1.0<0A^EOI> The example shows a sample response
from the *IDN?, 488.2 common query. In the example, the instrument identifies it-
self as an Anritsu 2410A, with serial number 123456, and software version 1.0 in-
stalled. Note that decimal 10 (0Ah character) must be sent with the EOI to signal
end of transmission.
This notation represents data transmitted as 8-bit data bytes (00-FF hex, 0-255
decimal, notation is ). Useful for transmitting large blocks of formatted
ASCII or binary data or unformatted binary data. The data stream is immediately
preceded by a variable length ASCII header that is encoded with the number of
data bytes to be sent. The header always starts with the (#) character.
