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.
Engineering unit suffixes with numeric parameters (e.g., mV, KV,
mA, KHz) can also be sent. If only specific numeric values are
accepted, the function generator will ignore values which are not
accepted and will generate an error message. The following
command is an example of a command that uses a numeric
parameter:
SENSE:VOLT1:RANGE:UPPER 5.75
Discrete
Parameters
Discrete parameters are used to program settings that have a
limited number of values (e.g., trigger delay is applied to INPut or
OUTput or NONE). They have short and long form command
keywords. Upper and lower case letters can be mixed. Query
responses always return the short form in all upper case letters.
The following command uses discrete parameters:
:VXI:CONF:MON:DELAY:STATE {INPut | OUTput | NONE}
Boolean
Parameters
Boolean parameters represent a single binary condition that is
either true or false. The EMS accepts "OFF" or "0" for a false
condition. The EMS accepts "ON" or "1" for a true condition.
The instrument always returns "0" or "1" when a boolean setting
is queried. The following command uses a boolean parameter:
:DISPLAY:TEXT:STATE { OFF | ON | 0 | 1 }
