command returns the SHORT form of the parameter value, in
upper-case characters. That is, the command may be specified
using either "IMMEDIATE" or "IMM", but the query:
TRIGGER:SOURCE?
will return the reply
IMM
NOT
IMMEDIATE
Boolean parameters represent a single binary condition that is
either true or false. The 1256 accepts "OFF" or "0" for a false
condition. The 1256 accepts "ON" or "1" for a true condition. The
following command uses a boolean parameter:
[:ROUTe]
:MONitor
[:STATe]
The following commands turn the monitor OFF:
ROUTE:MONITOR:STATE OFF
ROUTE:MONITOR:STATE 0
MON OFF
MON 0
The following commands turn the monitor ON
ROUTE:MONITOR:STATE ON
ROUT:MON:STAT ON
MON 1
When Boolean parameters are queried, the 1256 always replies
with a "1", if the state is on, or "0", if the state is off. The keywords
"ON" and "OFF" are NOT returned in the reply to ROUTE:
MONITOR:STATE?, or any other query.
