Using the PF Command to Format Response from Interrogation Commands
The command, PF, can change format of the values returned by theses interrogation commands:
BL ?
LE ?
DE ?
PA ?
DP ?
PR ?
EM ?
TN ?
FL ?
VE ?
IP ?
TE
TP
The numeric values may be formatted in decimal or hexadecimal with a specified number of digits to
the right and left of the decimal point using the PF command.
Position Format is specified by:
PF
m.n
where m is the number of digits to the left of the decimal point (0 thru 10) and n is the number of digits
to the right of the decimal point (0 thru 4) A negative sign for m specifies hexadecimal format.
Hex values are returned preceded by a $ and in 2's complement. Hex values should be input as signed
2's complement, where negative numbers have a negative sign. The default format is PF 10.0.
If the number of decimal places specified by PF is less than the actual value, a nine appears in all the
decimal places.

:DP21 Define

:TPX Tell
position
0000000021 Default

of the command, LZ.
