The instrument allows you to enable or disable echoing. Echoing allows the instrument to respond or
echo back the command string that was sent to the instrument. For example, sending the command
string “*IDN?” will return both “*IDN?” and the query string “5492B Digital Multimeter, Version#, serial#”.
This can be used as a software handshake to verify that the instrument has received the command string
correctly.
Note: This function is for USB (virtual com) and RS-232 interface only.
Perform the following steps to enable or disable echoing.
