number BASE
Direct processor control
Establishes the radix of address and data parameters passed to or returned from the
ADDR, GETA, GETR, PUTA, PUTR, and CALL commands. If a negative radix is specified,
then parameters passed to (or returned from) these functions are assumed to be signed.
For example, if BASE= -16, then the value -1 communicates the value FFFFFFFF hex.
The BASE? query returns the current setting of BASE. The radix radix always is passed
and returned in base 10, regardless of the setting of BASE. BASE is preset to -10 each
time the generator is powered on. Base -10 is the preferred radix. The BASE? query
returns the current setting of BASE.
Note: This command is used only with custom applications and command files created by
Quantum Data.
