Parameters
The parameter format of SCPI is derived from the program parameter format defined in
IEEE 488.2.
The representation system of the program data that is used on the PAT-T is indicated below.
Non-numeric parameters
Character string data(String)
Used when a series of ASCII characters are requested.
Be sure to enclose a string in single quotations or double quotations. The start and end
quotation marks must match.

returned as 1 or 0.
OUTPut {ON|OFF|1|0}
Numeric parameters
R1
Represents an integer.
Details are given in the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable
Instrumentation.
NR2
Represents a real number (floating point).
Details are given in the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable
Instrumentation.
NR3
Represents a real number (exponential).
Details are given in the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable
Instrumentation.
The value +3.80000+E02 is returned for the response data 380. The number of digits to the
right of the decimal is 5.
