Notes
After the RS-232 device sends commands to the HD Pattern Signal
enerator, the RS-232 device must wait for the HD Pattern Signal Generator
to responds. Althou
without waiting for a response, the communication may fail if the HD Pattern
ignal Generator is in Auto mode.
2. To confi gure the HD Pattern Signal Generator to follow a sequence of
ommands in Auto mode, the following syntax is used:
