4-28 Remote Operation
•
•
Parameter types: The following are some of the more common parameter types:
<b> Boolean: Used to enable or disable an instrument operation. 0 or OFF
disables the operation, and 1 or ON enables the operation. Example:
:CURRent:AC:RANGe:AUTO ON
<name> Name parameter: Select a parameter name from a listed group. Example:
<name> = NEVer
= NEXt
:TRACe:FEED:CONTrol NEXt
<NRf> Numeric representation format: This parameter is a number that can be
expressed as an integer (e.g., 8) a real number (e.g., 23.6) or an exponent
(2.3E6). Example:
:SYSTem:KEY 16
<n> Numeric value: A numeric value parameter can consist of an NRf number or
one of the following name parameters: DEFault, MINimum, MAXimum.
When the DEFault parameter is used, the instrument is programmed to the
*RST default value. When the MINimum parameter is used, the instrument
is programmed to the lowest allowable value. When the MAXimum
parameter is used, the instrument is programmed to the largest allowable
value. Examples:
:TRIGger:TIMer
:TRIGger:TIMer
:TRIGger:TIMer
:TRIGger:TIMer
<list> List: Specify one or more switching channels. Examples:
:ROUTe:SCAN (@1:10)
:ROUTe:SCAN (@2,4,6)
Angle Brackets < >: Angle brackets (< >) are used to denote a parameter type. Do not
include the brackets in the program message. For example:
:HOLD:STATe <b>
The <b> indicates that a Boolean-type parameter is required. Thus, to enable the Hold
feature, you must send the command with the ON or 1 parameter as follows.
:HOLD:STATe ON or 1
