SCPI Parameter Types
The SCPI language defines several different data formats to be used in
program messages and response messages.
Numeric Parameters
Commands that require numeric parameters will accept all commonly
used decimal representations of numbers including optional signs,
decimal points, and scientific notation.
Special values for numeric parameters like MINimum, MAXimum, and
DEFault are also accepted. You can also send engineering unit suffixes
with numeric parameters (e.g., M, K, or u). If only specific numeric
values are accepted, the multimeter will automatically round the input
numeric parameters. The following command uses a numeric parameter:
VOLTage:DC:RANGe {<range>|MINimum|MAXimum}
Discrete Parameters
Discrete parameters are used to program settings that have a limited
number of values (like BUS, IMMediate, EXTernal). They have a short
form and a long form just like command keywords. You can mix upper-
and lower-case letters. Query responses will always return the short
form in all upper-case letters. The following command uses discrete
parameters:
TRIGger:SOURce {BUS|IMMediate|EXTernal}
Boolean Parameters
Boolean parameters represent a single binary condition that is either
true or false. For a false condition, the 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:
VOLTage:RANGe:AUTO {OFF|ON}
