7 Special 
The Option com Baudrate (OB) command is used to 
change the communications baudrate for this unit.  
The format is OB(code), where the baudrate codes 
are given in the table.  Code 7 is a special baudrate 
that is reserved for future expansion.  Note that the 
acknowledgement is given at the current baudrate 
and then the baudrate is changed. 
Example: 
@123OB2# 
Acknowledge: 
@123 Changing Communications Baudrate 
to 1200 
    Option Linefeed Command (OL) 
The Option com Linefeed (OL) command turns on or off the generation of linefeed 
characters when the Model 9840 sends information to your RS232 terminal.  The 
format is OL(0 or 1), where 0 turns linefeeds off, and 1 turns them on. 
Example: 
@123OL1 
Acknowledge: 
@123 Com Linefeed is on 
   Option Tare Retain Command (OT) 
The Retain Tare (OT) command enables and disables the retention of the current tare 
value in memory for use after the unit has been powered down and then powered back 
up. The format for the OT command is: OT(0 or 1), where 0 is disable and 1 is enable.  
Once enabled, the tare values are retained until this option is disabled.  Disabling the 
tare retention option resets the tare values for both channels to 0.   
 
Example: 
  @123OT1 
    Acknowledge: 
  @123 Retain tare is on 
 
Option End of Transmission Character (OE) 
The end of transmission character is a non-visible character (hexadecimal 0x04) that is 
sent at the end of each response by the unit to an RS232 command. The character is 
sent after the last carriage-return line-feed returned by the unit with one exception:  
when the user is viewing channel values with the @123V(item)(unit)(repeat) and sets 
the value of repeat to 2 (streaming output), the character is sent immediately prior to 
the streaming output that the unit will send.   The OE command enables or disables 
this character and its format is: OE(0 or 1), where 0 is disable and 1 is enable.  
 
Example: 
  @123OE1
