Extended numeric parameter
Most measurements related to Instrument-specific commands use extended numeric parameters to
specify the physical quantities. Extended numeric parameters receive all numeric parameters and
additional special values. All extended numeric parameters receive MAXimum and MINimum as
parameter values
。
Other special values, such as UP and DOWN are received by the instrument parsing
capability. SCPI command table will list all valid parameters.
Note: extended numeric parameters are not applicable to common commands or STATus subsystem
commands.
Examples of extended numeric parameters:
101
Numeric parameter
1.2 GHz
The GHz can be used as an exponent (E009)
200 MHz
The MHz can be used as an exponent (E006)
-100 mV
-100 millivolts
10DEG
10 Degree
MAXimum
Maximum valid setting
MINimum
Minimum valid setting
UP
Increase a step
DOWN
Decrease a step
Discrete parameter
When there are a finite number of parameter values to be set, discrete parameters are used for
identification. A discrete parameter uses mnemonics to represent each valid setting. Like the SCPI
mnemonics, the discrete parameter mnemonics can be set in long and short formats, with both
capitalized and lowercase characters.
The following example illustrates the combined use of discrete parameter and command.
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SOURce BUS|IMMediate|EXTernal
BUS
GPIB,LAN,RS-232 trigger
IMMediateImmediate trigger
EXTernal External trigger
Boolean parameter
Boolean parameters represent a single binary condition that is either true or false. There are only four
possible representations for a Boolean parameter.
Samples of Boolean parameters:
ON
True
OFF
False
1
True
0
False
