<Voltage>, <Time>, <Phase>, <Percent>
<Voltage>, <Time>, <Phase>, and <Percent> indicate
decimal values that have physical dimensions.
<Multiplier> or <Unit> can be attached to the <NRf>
format that was described earlier. Enter these using
any of the following forms:

Example
<NRf><Multiplier><Unit>

• <Multiplier> and <Unit> are not case sensitive.
• “
U
“ is used to indicate the micro “
µ
.“
• “
MA
“ is used for Mega to distinguish it from Milli.
• If both
<Multiplier>
and
<Unit>
are omitted,
the default unit is used.
• Response messages are always in the
<NR3>
form. Response messages are returned using
the default unit without the
<Multiplier>
or
<Unit>
.
<Register>
<Register>
indicates an integer that can be expressed
not only in
<Decimal>
notation, but also
<Hexadecimal>
,
<Octal>
, or
<Binary>
.
<Register>
is
used when each bit of the value has a particular
meaning. It is expressed in one of the following forms:
Form
Example
<NRf>
1
#H
<Hexadecimal value made up of the digits
#H0F
0
to
9
and
A
to
F
>
#Q
<Octal value made up of the digits
0
to
7
>
#q777
#B
<Binary value made up of the digits
0
and
1
>
#B001100
•
<Register>
is not case sensitive.
• Response messages are always returned in the
<NR1>
form.
<Character Data>
<Character data> are predefined character strings
(mnemonic). They are mainly used to indicate options.
One of the character strings given in brackets
{}
is
chosen. The data interpretation is the same as the
description given in “Header Interpretation Rules” on
page 8-10.
Form
Example
{EVENt|TIME|EXTernal}
EVENt
• As with the header, the “
COMMunicate:VERBose
”
command can be used to select whether to return
the response in the full form or in the abbreviated
form.
• The “
COMMunicate:HEADer
” setting does not affect
the
<character data>
.
<Boolean>
<Boolean>
are data that indicate
ON
or
OFF
. They are
expressed in one of the following forms:
Form
Example
{ON|OFF|<NRf>}
ON OFF 1 0
• When
<Boolean>
is expressed in the
<NRf>
form,
OFF is selected if the rounded integer value is “
0
,”
and ON for all other cases.
• A response message is always returned with a “
1
” if
the value is ON and “
0
” if the value is OFF.
