Table 6. Command Summary (cont.)
Keyword
Description
Packed format is 2 or 4 bytes (integer) Default ASCII
Retrieve last set data format. "PACK" if 2 byte set, "PACK 4" if 4
byte set
Retrieve scaling factor associated with binary data mode
(always returns 1.0 when ASCII selected)
Change the byte order. Default NORMal (big-endian)
Return the byte order
where:
BUFFer or no parameter = Volatile Buffer (Default)
BINTernal = Buffer and Volatile memory
Alternately measures at front and rear terminals reporting the
Difference, Quotient, or Ratio. Difference = F-R, Quotient = F/R,
Ratio = (F-R)/R.
Returns the SCAN calculation type
Sets the Scanning front settling delay (seconds). Only apply in
SCAN mode. Min = 0, Max = 65,000. Each Function and range
has its own unique, optimized AUTO setting.
Configures the Scanning front settling AUTO delay to ON or
OFF. Default OFF.
Returns the scanning front delay AUTO state: 0 = OFF, 1 = ON
Configures External Guard ON or OFF. Default OFF.
Returns the state of the External Guard: 0 = OFF, 1 = ON
Sets the Scanning rear settling delay (seconds). Only apply in
SCAN mode. Min = 0, Max = 65,000. Each Function and range
has its own unique, optimized AUTO setting.
Returns the rear settling delay
Configures the Scanning rear settling AUTO delay to ON or
OFF. Default OFF.
Returns the scanning rear delay AUTO state: 0 = OFF, 1 = ON.
Default AUTO.
