Wherein, <bool> can be set to {{1|ON}|{0|OFF}}.
The query returns 1 or 0.
2.
Discrete
The parameter can be any of the values listed. For example,
:ACQuire:TYPE <type>
:ACQuire:TYPE?
Wherein, <type> can be set to NORMal, AVERages, PEAK, or HRESolution.
The query returns NORM, AVER, PEAK, or HRES.
3.
Integer
Unless otherwise specified, the parameter can be any integer within the effective value range. Do not
set the parameter to a decimal or in scientific notation, otherwise, errors will occur. For example,
:DISPlay:GBRightness <bright>
:DISPlay:GBRightness?
Wherein, <brightness> can be set to an integer between 0 and 100.
The query returns an integer between 0 and 100.
4.
Real
The parameter can be any real-value (in decimal form or in scientific notation) within the effective
value range. For example,
:FUNCtion:WREPlay:INTerval <interval>
:FUNCtion:WREPlay:INTerval?
Wherein, <interval> can be set to any real number between 0.0000001 and 10; or any real number
between (1.000000e-07, namely 100 ns) and (0.1e+02, namely 10 s).
The query returns a real number in scientific notation.
5.
ASCII String
The parameter can be the combinations of ASCII characters. For example,
:CALCulate:ADVanced:EXPRession <str>
:CALCulate:ADVanced:EXPRession?
Wherein, <str> can be set to a legitimate expression that consists of any combinations of CH1, CH2,
CH3, CH4, and operators. For example, CH1+CH2.
The query returns in strings.
