of commands, a carriage return (CR) must be sent
between each command in the group. Following are the
commands that can be sent to the HI-1710:

A

Auto-Range select. This command is of the form A#
where # is 0 or 1. A1 turns the Auto-Range on, A0
turns the Auto-Range off. The default mode is
Auto-Range off (A0). When the Auto-Range is
active, a short tone will be heard when the
instrument changes range.
Note: the Auto-Range setting will only affect the Bar
Graph display and the analog output.

B

The Baud rate is preset at the factory to 1200. The
rate can be changed either from the front panel or
by the B command. This command is of the form B#
where # is a two digit number as follows:

#

Baud Rate

30

300 Baud

60

600

12

1200

24

2400

48

4800

96

9600

19

19,200

After the baud rate is changed on the HI-1710, the
baud rate must be changed on the external device
to match the new HI-1710 baud rate. When baud
rates are incorrectly set, a VDT may display
nonsense or non-printing characters. Note that
when the B command is sent, the baud rate is
changed immediately. The Baud rate setting is
saved in battery backed RAM when the power is
turned off.
