Parity Cn
The Parity command specifies the parity, if any, to be transmitted and received
with each character of the selected serial port. The Port Select command ( Pn) is used
to select the serial port regardless of addressing mode in use. If even or odd parity is
enabled the Serial488/4 will append a bit of the correct parity to each character
transmitted. However, the Serial 488/4 does not check parity on characters received.
The factory default setting as set by the Save Configuration command (S0) is C0,
parity disabled.
C0
Parity disabled.
C1
Odd parity enabled.
C2
Even parity enabled.
