Most commands require the specification of a parameter. The parameters must be
separated from the header by a white space. Parameters may be specified as
numeric values, Boolean parameters, character data, character strings and block
data. The type of parameter required for the specific command as well as the
permitted range of values are described together with the commands (see
page 5–12).
Numeric values. Numeric values may be entered in any customary form (that is,
with a sign, decimal point and exponent). If the values exceed the resolution of
the instrument, they will be rounded off. The mantissa may comprise up to 255
characters, the exponent must be in the range between –32000 and 32000. The
exponent is denoted by an "E" or "e." The exponent alone must not be used.
Physical quantities may be stated with the unit. Permissible prefixes for the unit
are G (Giga), MA (Mega, MOHM and MHZ are also allowed), K (kilo), M
(milli), U (micro) and N (nano). If no unit is specified, the basic unit will be
used.
