5.4 Data
<Register>
<Register> indicates an integer, and can be expressed
in hexadecimal, octal, or binary as well as a decimal
number. It is used when each bit of the value has a
particular meaning. It is expressed in one of the
following forms.
Form
<NRf>
#H<Hexadecimal value made up of the digits 0 to 9 and A to F>
#Q<Octal value made up of the digits 0 to 7>
#B<Binary value made up of the digits 0 and 1>
• <Register> is not case sensitive.
• Response messages are always expressed as
<NR1>.
<Character Data>
<Character Data> is a specified string of character
data (a mnemonic). It is mainly used to indicate
options and is chosen from the character strings given
in { }. For interpretation rules, refer to "Header
Interpretation Rules" on page 5-4.
Form
{AUTO|NORMal}
• As with the header, the "COMMunicate:VERBose"
command can be used to select whether to return
the response in the full form or in the abbreviated
form.
• The "COMMunicate:HEADer" setting does not
affect the character data.
<Boolean>
<Boolean> is data that indicates ON or OFF. It is
expressed in one of the following forms.
Form
{ON|OFF|<NRf>}
• When <Boolean> is expressed in the <NRf> form,
"OFF" is selected if the rounded integer value is 0,
and ON for all other cases.
• A response message is always returned with a 1 if
the value is ON and 0 if the value is OFF.
<String Data>
<String data> is not a specified character string like
<Character data>. It is an arbitrary character string.
The character string must be enclosed in single
quotation marks (') or double quotation marks (").
Form
<String data>
5-6
Example
1
#H0F
#Q777
#B001100
Example
AUTO
Example
ON OFF 1 0
Example
'ABC' "IEEE488.2-1992"
• If a character string contains a double quotation
mark ("), the double quotation mark is replaced by
two concatenated double quotation marks ("").
This rule also applies to a single quotation mark
within a character string.
• A response message is always enclosed in double
quotation marks (").
• <String data> is an arbitrary character string.
Therefore the instrument assumes that the
remaining program message units are part of the
character string if no single (') or double quotation
mark (") is encountered. As a result, no error is
detected if a quotation mark is omitted.
<Filename>
<Filename> is data that indicates a file name. It is
expressed in one of the following forms.
Form
{<NRf>|<Character data>|<String data>}
• <NRf> is rounded to an 8-digit integer and
converted to ASCII code. The result is the file name
(example: 1 becomes "00000001"). Negative
values are not allowed.
• For <Character data> and <String data>, the first
eight characters become the file name.
• Response messages are always returned in the
<String data> form.
<Block Data>
<Block data> is arbitrary 8-bit data. It is only used in
response messages on the WT3000. The syntax is as
follows:
Form
#N<N-digit decimal number><Data byte sequence>
• #N
Indicates that the data is <Block data>. "N"
indicates the number of succeeding data bytes
(digits) in ASCII code characters.
• <N-digit decimal number>
Indicates the number of bytes of data (example:
0012 = 12 bytes).
• <Data byte sequence>
Expresses the actual data (example:
ABCDEFGHIJKL).
• Data is comprised of 8-bit values (0 to 255). This
means that the ASCII code "0AH," which stands for
"NL," can also be a code used for data. Hence,
care must be taken when programming the
controller.
Example
1 CASE "CASE"
Example
#40012ABCDEFGHIJKL
