9.1.2 :SETting:CHANnel:TAP_A <NRf>
This command selects the length of the tap on side A, where <NRf> is the length ranging
from 0 to 1500 ft, in step of 500 ft. For example, to set the length to 1.5 kft, send:
:SET:CHAN:TAP_A 1.5 kft
The units of the length are optional, but they must be “ft” if present. For more details on
the numeric format supported by the DLS 400, see section 7.3.
To query the length currently simulated by the DLS 400 send:

The command will return an integer number ranging from 0 to 1500 followed by the units.
For example, if the length is 1.5 kft, the returned message will be:
1500 FT
