Parameters

Most commands require a parameter to be specified. Parameters must be separated from
the header by a "white space." Permissible parameters are numerical values, Boolean
parameters, text, character strings and block data. The parameter type required for a given
command and the permissible range of values are specified in the command description.

Numerical values

Numerical values can be entered in any form: sign, decimal point, and exponent. Values
exceeding the resolution of the instrument are rounded up or down. The mantissa may
comprise up to 15 characters, the exponent must be in the value range -307 to 307. The
exponent is preceded by an "E" or "e". Specifying the exponent alone is not permissible.
In the case of physical quantities that have a unit, no unit is accepted, the basic unit is
used.
Example
SENSe:VOLTage1:RANGe 1000.0 sets range of 1000 V

Boolean Parameters

Boolean parameters represent two states. The ON state (logically true) is represented by
ON or a numerical value unequal to 0. The OFF state (logically untrue) is represented by
OFF or the numerical value 0. In the case of a query, 0 or 1 is returned.
Example
Setting command:
Query:

Text

Text parameters follow the syntactic rules for key words. They can be entered using a
short or a long form. Like any other parameter, they must be separated from the header
by a "white space." In the case of a query, the short form of the text is returned.
Example
Setting command:
Query:
1-10
5. If there are multiple queries in the command line, the responses are returned in
the same order as the queries. The responses are separated by a semicolon.
