IEEE-488 Command Set Reference
Commands for controlling the units of measurement
The CM command sets the units of measurement to centimeters and the INCH
command selects inches. The PERCENT command sets the units of measurement to
the percentage of the active sensor length that is immersed in liquid. The units of
measurement selected through the IEEE-488 interface are controlled independently
from the units mode toggle switch used for controlling the front panel display. The
default units are centimeters when the Model 186 is first powered on. The last unit
command remains in effect until the unit is powered off. The setting is not saved in
permanent memory. The UNIT command returns a one character value (and
termination) indicating the current units—C for centimeters, I for inches, or % for
percentage.
