5.3.1 Conventions
The table below lists the conventions used in this section.
Table 5-5
Angle brackets
< >
Items in angle brackets are parameter abbreviations.
Vertical bar
|
A vertical bar separates alternative parameters.
Square
brackets
[ ]
Items in square brackets are optional. For example,
OUTP [ : STATe] means that : STATe may be omitted.
Braces
{ }
Braces indicate the parameters that may be repeated.
The notation <A> {<, B>} means that parameter “A” must be
entered while parameter “B” may be omitted or entered one or
more times.
5.3.2 Numerical Data Formats
The numerical data formats of the 62000H DC Power Supply are listed in Table 5-6.

Symbol
Description
Example
NR1
A digit without a decimal point. The decimal is assumed
to be to the right of the least significant digit.
123, 0123
NR2
A digit with a decimal point.
12.3, .123
NR3
A digit with a decimal point and an exponent.
1.23E+2
NRf
Flexible decimal format including NR1or NR2 or NR3.
123, 12.3, .23E+3
NRf+
Extended decimal format including NRf and MIN, MAX.
MIN and MAX are the low and high limits of a parameter.
123, 12.3,1.23E+3,
MIN, MAX
5.3.3 Boolean Data Format
The Boolean parameter <Boolean> only uses the form ON|OFF.
5.3.4 Character Data Format
The character strings returned by a query command are shown in either of the following
forms:
<CRD> Character Response Data: character string with a maximum length of 12.
<SRD> String Response Data: character string.
