multimeter will accept “OFF” or “0”. For a true condition, the
multimeter will accept “ON” or “1”. When you query a boolean setting,
the instrument will always return “0” or “1”. The following command
uses a boolean parameter:
INPut:IMPedance:AUTO {OFF|ON}
String Parameters
String parameters can contain virtually any set of
ASCII characters. A string must begin and end with matching quotes;
either with a single quote or with a double quote. You can include the
quote delimiter as part of the string by typing it twice without any
characters in between. The following command uses a string
parameter:
DISPlay:TEXT <quoted string>
