<Voltage>, <Ti me>, <Phase>, <Percent>
<Voltage>, <Ti me>, <Phase>, and <Percent> indicate
decimal values that have physical dimensions. You
can add <Multiplier> and <Unit> to the above <NRf>.
One of the following formats can be used.

• The <Multiplier> and <Unit> are case insensitive.
• The symbol for micro (
µ
) is written as “U.”
• To distinguish “mega” from “mili,” MA is used.
• 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>.
10.1 Program Format
<Register>
<Register> is an integer, but can be expressed as a
<Decimal>, or in <Hexadecimal>, <Octal>, or <Binary>
form. <Register> is used when each bit of a
numerical value has meaning. One of the following
formats can be used.
Format
Example
<NRf>
1
#H
#H0F
<Hexadecimal value made up of the digits 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
• The <Register> is case insensitive.
• The response message returned is always in
<NR1> format.
<Character Data>
<Character data> is data with specified characters
(mnemonic). It is mainly used to express alternatives,
and indicates that one item within the braces ({ }) can
be selected. The way that the data is interpreted is the
same as the description on page 10-4, “Rules for
Interpreting Headers.”
Format
Example
{POSitive|NEGative|BOTH}
POSitive
• In the same manner as with headers, you can use
COMMunicate:VERBose
with response messages
for full spelling, or choose the abbreviated format.
• The
COMMunicate:HEADer
setting does not affect
<Character data>.
<Boolean>
<Boolean> is for data that indicates an ON or OFF
state. One of the following formats can be used.
Format
Example
{ON|OFF|<NRf>}
ON OFF 1 0
• When expressing it in <NRf> format, it is OFF if the
rounded integer is 0, and ON if the integer is non-
zero.
• A response message is always returned with a “
1
” if
the value is ON and “
0
” if the value is OFF.
