Discrete Parameters - HP 83751A Programming Manual

Discrete Parameters

Use discrete parameters to program settings that have a finite number of
values. Discrete parameters use mnemonics
They have a long and a short form, like command mnemonics. You can use
mixed upper and lower case letters for discrete parameters.
Examples of discrete parameters:
Examples of discrete parameters in commands:
Boolean Parameters Boolean parameters represent a single binary condition that is either true or
false. There are only four possible values for a Boolean parameter.
Examples of Boolean parameters:
Examples of Boolean parameters in commands:
level using an external diode
level using an -1powermeter
Level using a mm-wave source module

Although discrete parameters values look like command keywords, do not
confuse the two. ln particular, be sure to use colons and spaces properly.
Use a colon to separate command mnemonics from each other. Use a
space to separate parameters from command mnemonics.
