General Rules The general rules for parameter usage is as follows:
1. When a command has more than one parameter, the parameters must be separated by
commas. For example: OUT 1V, 2A.
2. Numeric parameters may have up to 15 significant digits and their exponents can be
in the range ±1.0E±20.
3. Including too many or too few parameters causes a command error.
4. Null parameters cause an error, e.g., the adjacent commas in OUT 1V, ,2A.
5. Expressions, for example 4+2*13, are not allowed as parameters.
6. Binary Block Data can be in one of two forms: Indefinite Length and Definite Length
format (both IEEE-488.2 standards).
