Parameter Types

Series N5700 User's Guide
Data programmed or queried from the power supply is ASCII. The
data may be numerical or character string.
Numeric Parameters
Symbol Response Formats
<NR1> Digits with an implied decimal point assumed at the right of the
least-significant digit. Examples: 273
<NR2> Digits with an explicit decimal point. Example: 27.3
<NR3> Digits with an explicit decimal point and an exponent. Example:
2.73E+02
Parameter Formats
<NRf> Extended format that includes <NR1>, <NR2> and <NR3>.
Examples: 273
<NRf+> Expanded decimal format that includes <NRf> and MIN, MAX.
Examples: 273 27.3 2.73E+02
MIN and MAX are the minimum and maximum limit values that
are implicit in the range specification for the parameter.
<Bool> Boolean Data. Can be numeric (0, 1), or named (OFF, ON).
<SPD> String program data. String parameters enclosed in single or
double quotes.

Response Data Types
Symbol Response Formats
<CRD> Character Response Data. Returns discrete parameters. Only
the short form of the parameter is returned.
<AARD> Arbitrary ASCII Response Data. Permits the return of
undelimited 7-bit ASCII. This data type has an implied message
