Floating point mode can only be used for reading the sensitivity, which is reported in
volts or amps. For example, if IMODE = 0 and the sensitivity is 1 mV the command
SEN would report 18 and the command SEN. would report +1.0E-03. If IMODE was
changed to 1, SEN would still report 18 but SEN. would report +1.0E-09
AS Perform an Auto-Sensitivity operation
The instrument adjusts its full-scale sensitivity so that the magnitude output lies
between 30% and 90% of full-scale.
ASM Perform an Auto-Measure operation
The instrument adjusts its full-scale sensitivity so that the magnitude output lies
between 30% and 90% of full-scale, and then performs an auto-phase operation to
maximize the X channel output and minimize the Y channel output.
ACGAIN [n] AC Gain control
Sets the gain of the signal channel amplifier according to the following table:-
n AC Gain n AC Gain
0 0 dB 8 48 dB
1 6 dB 9 54 dB
2 12 dB 10 60 dB
3 18 dB 11 66 dB
4 24 dB 12 72 dB
5 30 dB 13 78 dB
6 36 dB 14 84 dB
7 42 dB 15 90 dB
AUTOMATIC [n] AC Gain automatic control
n Status
0 AC Gain is under manual control, either using the front panel or the ACGAIN
command
1 Automatic AC Gain control is activated, with the gain being adjusted according
to the full-scale sensitivity setting

] Signal channel line frequency rejection filter control
The LF command sets the mode and frequency of the line frequency rejection
(notch) filter according to the following tables:
