rounds the parameter. For example, if an instrument has a
programmable output imp edance of 50 or 75 ohms, you specied
76.1 for output imp edance, the value is rounded to 75 . If the
instrument setting can only assume integer values, it automatically
rounds the value to an integer. For example, sending *ESE 10.123
is the same as sending *ESE 10 .
Examples of numeric parameters:
100 no decimal point required
100. fractional digits optional
-1.23 leading signs al lowed
4.56e<space>3 space al lowed after e in exponentials
-7.89E-01 use either E or e in exponentials
+256 leading + al lowed
.5 digits left of decimal point optional
Extended Numeric Parameters. Most measurement related
subsystems use extended numeric parameters to sp ecify physical
quantities. Extended numeric parameters accept all numeric
parameter values and other sp ecial values as well. All extended
numeric parameters accept MAXimum and MINimum as values. Other
special values, suchas UP and DOWN maybe available as documented
in the instrument's command dictionary. Note that MINimum and
MAXimum can b e used to set or query v
alues. The query forms
are useful for determining the range of values allowed for a given
parameter.
In some instruments, extended numeric parameters accept
engineering unit suxes as part of the parameter v
alue. Refer to the
command summary to see if this capability exists.
Note that extended numeric parameters are not used for common
commands or STATus subsystem commands.
Examples of extended numeric parameters:
