Command Description
The RS-232 equivalent of IEEE-488 DCL. Causes <CR><LF> and =><CR><LF> to
be output.
Set output <frmt> to "1" or "2". Format 1 is compatible with IEEE-488.2.
Format 1 outputs measurement values without measurement units (e.g., "VDC,"
"ADC," "OHMS," etc.).
Format 2 allows measurement units (as represented below) to be output with
measurement values. Format 2 is intended primarily for use with RS-232 print-only
mode.
