Integer Response Data
Integer response data are decimal representations of integer values including optional signs. Most
status register related queries return integer response data.
The following are examples of integer response data:
0
+100
100
256
Discrete Response Data
Discrete response data are similar to discrete parameters. The main difference is that discrete
response data only returns the short form of a particular mnemonic, in all upper case letters.
The following are examples of discrete response data:
IMM
EXT
INT
NEG
Numeric Boolean Response Data
Boolean response data returns a binary numeric value of one or zero.
String Response Data
String response data are similar to string parameters. The main difference is that string response
data returns double quotes, rather than single quotes. Embedded double quotes may be present in
string response data. Embedded quotes appear as two adjacent double quotes with no characters
between them.
The following are examples of string response data:
"This is a string"
"one double quote inside brackets: [""]"
"Hello!"
