The RADix command allows the programmer to select the radix type for status,
condition, and event query response data. Decimal, binary, hexadecimal, and octal are
allowed.
The RADix? query allows the programmer to determine that radix type is currently
selected.
- where the character response data of DEC means decimal, BIN means binary, HEX
means hexadecimal, and OCT means octal.
Parameters DEC = Decimal (default)
BIN = Binary
HEX = Hexadecimal
OCT = Octal
Notes DECimal is the default type. Only the first three letters of the words decimal,
hexadecimal, binary, or octal are required.
When the RADIX is selected, all status, condition, and event queries will return values in
the new radix.
All of the above radixes may be used to enter program data at any time, without the need
for issuing the RADix command. The proper prefix must also be used with Hex (#H),
binary (#B), or octal (#Q).
This command may be useful for setting up status reporting blocks. The bit-wise status
representation may be more easily read in BIN, HEX, or OCT.
The RADix command is used to select the desired radix. Once it is changed, the new
radix will remain in effect until the power is shut off or a new RADix command is issued.
Examples "RAD dec" - action: the decimal radix is selected.
"RAD?" - response: Dec, means the selected radix is decimal.
