Boolean Represents a single binary condition that is either
true or false:
ON, OFF, 1, 0.
Discrete Selects from a finite number of values. These parameters
use mnemonics to represent each valid setting.
An example is the TRIGger:SOURce <source> command
where <source> can be;
BUS, EXT, HOLD, IMM, SCP,TIMer, or TTLTrg<n>.
Channel List The general form of a single channel specification is:
ccnn
where cc represents the card number and nn represents the
channel number.
Since the HP E1415 has an on-board 64 channel multiplexer,
the card number will be 1 and the channel number can range
from 00 to 63. Some example channel specifications:
channel 0=100, channel 5=105, channel 54=154
The General form of a channel range specification is:
ccnn:ccnn(colon separator)
(the second channel must be greater than the first)
Example:
channels 0 through 15=100:115
By using commas to separate them, individual and range
specifications can be combined into a single channel list:
0, 5, 6 through 32, and 45=(@100,105,106:132,145)
Note that a channel list is always contained within "(@" and ")".
The Command Reference always shows the "(@" and ")"
punctuation:
(@<ch_list>)
Arbitrary Block
Program and
Response Data
This parameter or data type is used to transfer a block of data in
the form of bytes. The block of data bytes is preceded by a
preamble which indicates either 1) the number of data bytes
which follow (definite length), or 2) that the following data
block will be terminated upon receipt of a New Line message,
and for HP-IB operation, with the EOI signal true (indefinite
length).
The syntax for this parameter is:
Definite Length; #<non-zero digit><digit(s)><data byte(s)>
Where the value of <non-zero digit> is 1-9 and represents the
number of <digit(s)>. The value of <digit(s)> taken as a decimal
