14.2.4 Responses

On receiving a query from the controller, this
instrument returns a response message to the
controller. A response message is sent in one of the
following two forms.
• Response consisting of a header and data
If the query can be used as a program message
without any change, a command header is attached
to the query, which is then returned.
Example INTEGRATE:MODE?<PMT>→
:INTEGRATE:MODE NORMAL<RMT>
• Response consisting of data only
If the query cannot be used as a program message
unless changes are made to it (i.e. it is a query-only
command), no header is attached and only the data
is returned. Some query-only commands can be
returned after a header is attached to them.
Example STATUS:ERROR?<PMT>→
0,"NO ERROR"<RMT>
When returning a response without a header
It is possible to remove the header from a response
consisting of a header and data. The
" " command is used to do this.
COMMunicate:HEADer
Abbreviated form
Normally, the lower-case part is removed from a
response header before the response is returned to
the controller. Naturally, the full form of the header can
also be used. For this, the " COMMunicate:VERBose
command is used. The part enclosed by [ ] is also
omitted in the abbreviated form.

14.2.5 Data

A data section comes after the header. A space must be
included between the header and the data. The data
contains conditions and values. Data is classified as below.
Data
<Decimal>
<Voltage><Current>
<Register>
<Character data>
<Boolean>
<Character string data> Arbitrary character string
<Decimal>
<Decimal> indicates a value expressed as a decimal
number, as shown in the table below. Decimal values
are given in the NR form specified in ANSI X3. 42-1975.
Symbol Description
<NR1> Integer
<NR2> Fixed point number
<NR3> Floating point number
<NRf> Any of the forms <NR1> to <NR3> is allowed.
• Decimal values which are sent from the controller to
this instrument can be sent in any of the forms to
<NR3>. In this case, <NRf> appears.
"
• For response messages which are returned from
this instrument to the controller, the form (<NR1> to
<NR3> to be used) is determined by the query. The
same form is used, irrespective of whether the value
is large or small.
• In the case of <NR3>, the "+" after the "E" can be
omitted, but the "–" cannot.
• If a value outside the setting range is entered, the value
will be normalized so that it is just inside the range.
• If the value has more than the significant number of
digits, the value will be rounded.
<Voltage>, <Current>
<Voltage> and <Current> indicate decimal values
which have physical significance. <Multiplier> or
<Unit> can be attached to <NRf>. They can be entered
in any of the following forms.
Form
<NRf><Multiplier><Unit>
<NRf><Unit>
<NRf><Multiplier>
<NRf>
