Reading Delimiter Hn

The Reading Delimiter command, Hn, is used to set the terminator that will be

sent by the Analyzer488 after each reading. A reading is a single data point and a
waveform (any factory waveform from 0 to 20) is made up of 256 readings. When the
Analyzer488 is addressed to talk, it will append the reading delimiter to each reading.

The reading delimiters which may be used are shown below. The Reading

Delimiter may also be set to any character whose numeric value is from 0 to 255 by
using the User Reading Delimiter (In) command and then selecting the H4 option of
the Reading Delimiter command. The choices for the reading delimiter are listed
below:
