Parameter types — The following are some of the common parameter types:
<b>
Boolean — Used to enable or disable an instrument operation. 0 or
OFF disables the operation, and 1 or ON enables the operation.
:DISPlay:ENABle ON
Enable the display
<name>
Name parameter — Select a parameter name from a listed group.
<name> = NEVer
= NEXT
:CALCulate:FORMat MXB
Select Mx + B calculation
<NRf>
Numeric representation format — A number that can be expressed
as an integer (e.g., 8) a real number (e.g., 23.6) or an exponent
(2.3E6).
:TRACe:POINts 20
Set buffer size to 20
<NDN>
Non-decimal numeric — A non-decimal value that can be used to
program status enable registers. A unique header identifies the
format; #B (binary), #H (hexadecimal) and #Q (octal).
*SRE #B10001
Set bits B0 and B4 of Service
Request Enable Register
<n>
Numeric value — Can consist of an NRf number or one of the fol-
lowing name parameters: DEFault, MINimum, or MAXimum.
When the DEFault parameter is used, the instrument is pro-
grammed to the *RST default value. When the MINimum parame-
ter is used, the instrument is programmed to the lowest allowable
value. When the MAXimum parameter is used, the instrument is
programmed to the largest allowable value.
:ARM:TIMer 0.1
Sets timer to 100 msec.
:ARM:TIMer DEFault
Sets timer to 0.1 sec.
:ARM:TIMer MINimum
Sets timer to 1 msec.
:ARM:TIMer MAXimum
Sets timer to 999999.999 sec.
•
Angle brackets < > — Used to denote a parameter type. Do not include the brack-
ets in the program message.
:DISPlay:ENABle <b>
The <b> indicates that a Boolean type parameter is required. Thus, to enable the
display, you must send the command with the ON or 1 parameter as follows.
:DISPlay:ENABle ON or 1
