ASCII transfer format
When data is transferred in the ASCII transfer format, values are transferred as ASCII
bytes in one of the following formats. According to the specification of IEEE488.2, values
are separated by a comma (,).
NOTE The string length of numerical values is not constant. Therefore, the comma does not occur
at constant intervals when extracting numerical values from the read out numerical data
string.
• Integer format
The format shown in Figure 6-1. Numerical values are expressed as integers. For
example, the value, 11, is expressed as “+11.”
Figure 6-1 Integer format
• Floating point format
The format shown in Figure 6-2. Numerical values are expressed using a floating point.
For example, the value, 1000, is expressed as “+1.00000E+03.”
