requires discrete parameters to be used for temperature units: 

UNIT:TEMPerature {C|F|K} 

8.1.5.3 Boolean Parameters 

Boolean  parameters  represent  a  true  or  false  binary  condition.  For  false  conditions,  the  instrument  will  accept 

"OFF" or "0". For true conditions, the instrument will accept "ON" or "1". When querying the Boolean setting, the 

instrument will return "0" or "1". The following example requires the use of a Boolean parameter: 

DISPlay:STATe {ON|1|OFF|0} 

8.1.5.4 ASCII String Parameters 

String  parameters  can actually contain  all ASCII  character  sets. Strings  must begin  and end with paired quotes; 

single or double quotes can be used. The quote delimiter can also be part of a string, just type it twice and don't 

add any characters in the middle. The following command uses string parameters: 

DISPlay:TEXT <quoted string> 

For  example,  the  following  example  shows  the  message  "WAITING..."  on  the  front  panel  of  the  instrument 

(without the quotation marks). 

DISP:TEXT "WAITING..." 

You can also use the following example to display the same information in single quotes. 

DISP:TEXT 'WAITING...' 

8.2        Subsystem commands 

8.2.1        CONFigure Subsystem 

The  CONFigure  command  is  the  easiest  way  to  configure  measurements.  Like  the  MEASure?  query,  these 

commands  use  the  default  measurement  configuration  values.  However,  these  commands  do  not  automatically 

start measuring, so you can modify the measurement properties before starting the measurement.
