1 Introduction to Programming
Data programmed or queried from the instrument is ASCII. The data may be
numerical or character string.
Digits with an implied decimal point assumed at the right of the least-significant
<NR1>
digit. Example: 273
Digits with an explicit decimal point. Example: 27.3
<NR2>
Digits with an explicit decimal point and an exponent. Example: 2.73E+02
<NR3>
Extended format that includes <NR1>, <NR2>, and <NR3>.
<NRf>
Examples: 273 27.3 2.73E+02
Expanded decimal format that includes <NRf> and MIN, MAX.
<NRf+>
Examples: 273 27.3 2.73E+02 MAX
MIN and MAX are the minimum and maximum limit values that are implicit in the
range specification for the parameter.
Boolean Data. Can be numeric (0, 1), or named (OFF, ON).
<Bool>
String Program Data. Programs string parameters enclosed in single or double
<SPD>
quotes.
Character Program Data. Programs discrete parameters. Accepts both the short
<CPD>
form and long form.
String Response Data. Returns string parameters enclosed in single or double
<SRD>
quotes.
Character Response Data. Returns discrete parameters. Only the short form of
<CRD>
the parameter is returned.
Arbitrary ASCII Response Data. Permits the return of an undelimited 7-bit ASCII.
<AARD>
This data type has an implied message terminator.
Arbitrary Block Response Data. Permits the return of definite length and indefinite
<Block>
length arbitrary response data. This data type has an implied message
terminator.
