Message Format And Timeout Communication messages consist of a string of ASCII charactersterminated by a carriage return character. The maximum message length coming to the CAT3 is 20 characters, including the carriage return. The CAT3 will transmit no more than 35 characters beforetransmitting a carriage return. Ifa message longer than 20 characters sent, the instrument respondswith ֓Command Sequence is Too Long! If an unrecognized or invalid command is sent, the instrument responds with ԓInvalid Command! The sending unit RS232C serial port configuration must be configured as follows:Baud...
