Determining the Serial Port Settings
Standard 58503B and 59551A
If you connect your PC, press Return, and do not get a scpi> prompt
back from the Receiver, your Receiver’s serial communication settings
may have been modified. You need to systematically step through the
data communication settings on your PC until your PC matches the
Receiver. The Receiver cannot communicate its settings until this
process is complete.
Iterate until you are able to verify that settings on your PC match the
Receiver.
When you are successful, you will have restored full RS-232C
communications, enabling you to query the Receiver’s communication
settings. Once you establish communications with one serial port, you
can query the Receiver for settings of either port.
Issue the following queries to either serial port to verify PORT 1’s
configuration.
SYST:COMM:SER:PACE?
SYST:COMM:SER:BAUD?
SYST:COMM:SER:PARITY?
SYST:COMM:SER:BITS?
SYST:COMM:SER:SBITS?
Issue the following queries to either serial port to verify PORT 2’s
