Leading zeroes
l
Sets whether the pre-decimal places are to include leading zeroes when the
number has fewer decimal places. This means that the same number of char-
acters are always sent.
Post-decimal places
l
Sets the number of pos-decimal places to be output.
Always sign
l
Ensures that positive as well as negative signs are always sent. The sign
does not count as a pre-decimal place.
Example

Displays the formatting of an imaginary number according to the settings
made.
Format
Sets what is to be sent, e.g. value and unit for the channel. Do not delete
the required placeholders, including % signs. You can send only one chan-
nel (value), but any number of placeholders for other information, e.g. for
outputting the current date and time. You can also enter text instead of
placeholders, e.g. text to be sent for initialisation. For example, by using
the initialisation string "Measure:Volt:DC" you can switch a multimeter to
DC measurement.

%VALUE%: Channel value.
%STATUS%: Channel status.
%UNIT%: Channel unit.
%NAME%: Output channel name.
%DESCRIPTION%: Output channel description.

%NAMESOURCE%: Source channel name.
