Forms of Keywords
There are two forms for a keyword as described below.
Long-Form
The word is spelled out completely to identify its function. For instance, CURRENT,
VOLTAGE, and MEASURE are long-form keywords.
Short-Form
The word contains only the first three or four letters of the long-form. For instance, CURR,
VOLT, and MEAS are short-form keywords.
In keyword definitions and diagrams, the short-form part of each keyword is emphasized in
UPPER CASE letters to help you remember it. However, the electronic load will accept Volt,
volt, voltage, VOLTAGE, volTAGE, etc. regardless of what form you have applied. However,
if the keyword is incomplete, for example, "VOL" or "curre", it will not be recognized.
5.2.2 Numerical Data Formats
Chroma 63600 Electronic Load accepts the numerical data type listed in Table 5-1. Numeric
data may be followed by a suffix to specify the dimension of the data. A suffix may be
preceded by a multiplier. Chroma 63600 makes use of the suffixes listed in Table 5-2 and
multipliers listed in Table 5-3.
Symbol
NR1
Digits without decimal point. The decimal point is
assumed to be at the right of the least-significant digit.
NR2
Digits with a decimal point.
NR3
Digit with a decimal point and an exponent.
NRf
Flexible decimal form that includes NR1 or NR2 or NR3. 123, 12.3, 1.23E+3
NRf+
Expanded decimal form that includes NRf and MIN, MAX.
MIN and MAX are the minimum and maximum limit
values for the parameter.
