This is space reserved for the customer. This could be used to provide a text message
to identify instrument for users. 30 characters are available.

This is hexadecimal information stored in the instrument after manufacture to tell the
processor which of the various optional analog input or output configurations are installed in
this particular instrument. The analog full scale value reported with the S11 command is
generated from this list. Do not change this value unless the I/O boards are being replaced.

item 65:nxtline:
read S65(cr) or *[aa]S65(cr)
Sample reply: x0D(cr)>
write S65=x0A(cr) or *[aa]S65=x0A(cr) (change to linefeed)
This is the hexadecimal version of the ascii code for the character you will use to signal
flow instrument that the transmission from the computer is complete instead of the
normal carriage return(x0D). This could be a line feed (x0A) or other seldom used
character such as >(x3E), <(x3C), #(x23) or ^(x5E). After this command is complete the
flow instrument will only respond to commands that terminate with the newly specified
character. I. E. to read item 65 the new command structure would appear as: write
S65> or *[aa]S65> if x3E were chosen as the new terminator.
Be careful when choosing a new terminator to ensure that the software that is used to
communicate with the instrument can generate the chosen character. Most terminal
programs cannot generate most of the unprintable character ascii codes that are less
than x20 (other than x0D and x0A) or greater than x7F. Routines written in Labview®
or other programming environment can be set up to use these codes. If an instrument
has been setup with a terminating character that cannot be generated locally there
will be no way to communicate with the instrument to return the terminator to the
original condition. The instrument would need to be returned to the factory for to
reset this.

(carriage return, linefeed and “>” character)
This is the hexadecimal representation of the ascii codes for the character string that
the instrument will use to signal to the computer that it has ended its transmission.
This string may be up to 11 characters long. The string format starts with an “x” to
signal that the string is hexadecimal and it is followed by a series of pairs of
