WaveAce Remote Control
Data Parameters
When a command uses additional data values, they are expressed as ASCII data that can take the form
of character, numeric, string, or block data. Macro parameters are not implemented.
An exception is the transfer of waveforms with the WAVEFORM command/query, where the waveform
is expressed as a sequence of binary data values.
Character Data
These are simple alphanumeric words or abbreviations indicating a specific action.
In commands where you can specify many parameters, or where not all parameters are applicable at
the same time, the format requires pairs of character data values. The first value names the parameter
to be modified, while the second gives its value.
HARDCOPY_SETUP DEST,PRINTER,PRINTER,EPSON
Here, two pairs are shown: the first specifies the DESTination is a PRINTER, while the second specifies
the PRINTER is EPSON. Any HARDCOPY_SETUP parameters that are not relevant for printers, or are left
unchanged, are omitted from the command.
Numeric Data
The numeric data type is used to enter quantitative information. Numbers can be entered as integers,
fractions, or exponents:
C1:VPOS -5
C2:OFST 3.56
TDIV 5.0E-6
Numeric values can be followed with multipliers and units modifying the value of the numeric
expression. The following table of mnemonics is recognized:
