Boolean Parameters
Boolean parameters represent a single binary condition that is either true or false. The two- state
boolean parameter has four arguments. The following list shows the arguments for the two- state
boolean parameter:
ON
OFF
1
0
String Parameters
String parameters allow ASCII strings to be sent as parameters. Single or double quotes are used as
delimiters.
The following are examples of string parameters:
'This is valid'
"This is also valid"
'SO IS THIS'
Real Response Data
Real response data represent decimal numbers in either fixed decimal or scientific notation. Most
high- level programming languages that support signal generator input/output (I/O) handle either
decimal or scientific notation transparently.
The following are examples of real response data:
4.000000E010, 9.990000E002
9.990000E002
4.0000000000000E010

boolean true, upper/lower case allowed
boolean false, upper/lower case allowed
boolean true
boolean false
