D Sets the display to 3 or 4 digits (2 or 3 digits to the
right of the decimal point). This command is of the
form D# where # is 3 or 4. In the three digit mode,
the fourth digit is rounded and not displayed. Also,
the alarm and the stim reply (see the S commands)
to the status commands are returned in three digits.
Note: In the four digit mode, some least significant
bit noise will be seen, resulting in the least
significant digit changing.
E When the baud rate has been properly set on both
the HI-1710 and on the external device,
communication may be established. If the external
device is in a full duplex mode, the HI-1710 can be
set to echo commands. In full duplex, an external
device (usually a VDT) does not print characters
entered on its own keyboard, but only displays what
is received through its serial data port. The HI-1710
ECHO is turned on by the E command in the form
E# where # is 0 or 1. The default condition is 0
(echo off). By sending E1 the echo is turned on. In
this condition, keyboard entries on the VDT will also
be displayed on the VDT screen. The echo mode
can be used when marginal transmission conditions
exist or when the HI-1710 is connected to a full
duplex terminal which required that the characters
be re-transmitted.
F Filter selections are changed using the F command.
This command is of the form F# where # is 1,2,3,
or 4. The filter commands correspond to the F1-F4
filters selected from the front panel of the
instrument.
I System reset (Initialize) command. This command
resets the system and performs the turn on self-test
