HP 3325B Remote Operation Command Set
MD; Data Transfer Mode Command
The MD command selects the HP-IB data transfer mode. (This command has no effect when
the 1^-232 interface is used.) In mode 1, each device-dependent character is processed when
received. No other communications are permitted on the bus until the entire HP 3325B
pro^am string has been accepted and all but the last character processed. In mode 2,
device-dependent characters are accepted and stored in an internal buffer; they are not
processed until the End-Of-Command-String (EOCS) character is received or the buffer is
filled (48 bytes). Valid EOCS characters are the <iine feed> character (ASCII decimal 10) or
the asterisk (*) character (ASCII decimal 42).
