DESCRIPTION

At power-up, the IEEE 488 bus terminator defaults to the Bus Terminator (

Y

) setting saved in configuration

(the

power-up configuration). It may also be programmed for any combination of carriage return (

CR

) and line feed (

LF

).

Mode

Y0

is the most commonly-accepted terminator (

CR LF

). Mode

Y1

reverses the sequence (

LF CR

). Mode

Y2

sends carriage return (

CR

) only, while mode

Y3

sends line feed (

LF

) only. To save a bus terminator as the new

default setting, use the Save Configuration (

S

) command

S0

.
