Programming with GPIB Commands 2-3 Data Input Restrictions
MG369xC GPIB PM PN: 10370-10374 Rev. F 2-3
2-3 Data Input Restrictions
The MG369xC signal generator does not accept parameter or data entries in an exponential or scientific
notation format. The accepted data formats are as follows:
• A decimal or integer format for entering parameters and data
• A binary-byte format for entering the status byte mask commands (Section 2-13), the RCF and RCM
stored-setup commands (Section 2-12), the ZTL fast-frequency-switching command (Section 2-17), the
power-offset-table commands (Section 2-18), and the LUR user level calibration command (Section 2-19)
Programming Note: The signal generator only recognizes the following 65 characters:
The 52 upper- and lower-case alphabetic characters. (The MG369xC accepts both upper- and lower-case
characters without distinguishing between the cases)
• The minus sign (–)
• The comma (,)
• The decimal point (. )
• The numerals between 0 and 9
All characters other than the 65 listed above are ignored and can be interspersed between meaningful
characters without ill effect. This use of other characters can improve readability. For example, the two
command strings below are valid and interchangeable.
“F12.754GHF27.792GHSF1SWPMK0L12DM”
“F1 2.754 GH; F2 7.792 GH; SF1; SWP; MK0; L1 2 DM”
