Bus Terminator

Yn

The IEEE 488 bus terminator command selects the characters sent at the end of

status messages returned by the Serial488/4. The terminator may be programmed for
any combination of Carriage Return (CR) and L ine Feed (LF). Y0 sends CR only
and Y1 sends LF only. The Y2 mode, the most commonly accepted terminator, sends
CR-LF. Y3 reverses the sequence to send L F-CR. The factory default setting as set
by the Save Configuration command (S0) is Y2, CR-LF.
