Serial Terminator
Tn
The Serial Terminator command is used in conjunction with the Data EOI (Ln)
command to specify which character to assert EOI on for the selected serial port. The
Port Select command (Pn) is used to select the serial port regardless of addressing
mode in use. The terminator value may range from 0 to 255 allowing any 7 bit ASCII
character or 8 bit data value to be used. The factory default setting as set by the Save
Configuration command (S0) is T010, the line feed character.
