The
4263B
accepts
commands
and
parameters
in
various formats
and responds
to a
particular query
in
a
predened
and
xed
format.
Each command
reference contains
in formation
about the
parameter
types
available
for
the
individual
commands.

used
in
both
common
commands
and
subsystem
commands.

The
4263B
setting
programmed
with a
numeric parameter
can assume
a
nite
number
of
values
,
so
the
4263B
automatically
rounds o
the parameter
.
F
or
example
,
the
4263B
has
a
programmable
power
line
frequency
of
50
or
60
Hz.
If
you specied
50.1,
it
would
be
rounded
o
to
50.
The
subsystem
commands
can
use
extended
numeric
parameters
.
Extended
numeric
parameters
accept
all
numeric
parameter
values
and
other
special
values
,
for
instance
,
MAXimum,
MINimum,
or
UP
,
DOWN.
The
special
values
available
are
described
in
the
command's
reference
description.

In
a
program
message
and
query
response
<
sensor
function
>
and
<
data
handle
>
are
string
parameter
which
contain ASCII
characters.
A string
must begin
with a
single
quote
(ASCII
39
decimal)
or
a
double
quote
(ASCII
34
decimal) and
end with
the same
corresponding
character
,
a
single
or
double
quote
.
The
quote
to mark
the beginning
and end
of
the
string
is
called
the
delimiter
.
Y
ou
can
include
the
delimiter as
part of
the string
by typing
it
twice
without
any
characters
in
between.
Example of
< sensor
function >
'FIMP',
l0
OUTPUT
@Meter;":FUNC 'FIMP'"
using
single
quote
20 OUTPUT @Meter;":FUNC ""FIMP"""
using double quote
The query response is the string between double quote delimiters
.
Units
Units can be used with numeric value parameters when so documented in the Command
Reference.
