Discrete Parameters; Boolean Parameters - HP 8360 B Series User Manual

Discrete Parameters. Use discrete parameters to program settings
that have a finite number of values. Discrete parameters use
mnemonics to represent each valid setting. They have a long and a
short form, like command mnemonics. You can use mixed upper and
lower case letters for discrete parameters.
Examples of discrete parameters:
level internally
level using an external diode
level using an external power meter
Level using a mm-wave source module
Examples of discrete parameters in commands:
100 OUTPUT @Source;" :POWer:ALC:SOURce INT"
110 OUTPUT @Source;" :POWer:ALC:SOURce mmh"
Although discrete parameters values look like command keywords,
do not confuse the two. In particular, be sure to use colons and
spaces properly. Use a colon to separate command mnemonics from
each other. Use a space to separate parameters from command
mnemonics.
Boolean Parameters. Boolean parameters represent a single binary
condition that is either true or false. There are only four possible
values for a Boolean parameter.
Examples of Boolean parameters:
Boolean TRUE, upper/lower case allowed
ON
Boolean FALSE, upper/lower case allowed
OFF
Boolean TRUE
1
Boolean FALSE
0
Examples of Boolean parameters in commands:
100 OUTPUT QSource;":FM:STATe On"
110 OUTPUT OSource;":AM:STATe 1"
