Enumerated Character Data
Enumerated characters are used for data that has a finite number of values; enumerated
parameters use mnemonics to represent each valid setting.
The mnemonics have long and short forms just like command mnemonics.
Example:
:SOURce:PRESsure:SLEW:MODE MAXimum
selects the maximum rate mode.
A query of an enumerated parameter always returns the short form data in upper case.
Example:
:SOURce:PRESsure:SLEW:MODE?
queries rate mode, reply:
:SOUR:PRES:SLEW:MODE MAX
Boolean Data
Boolean data can only be one of two conditions; the numbers 1 and 0. Boolean can be “on”
or “off”, queries return 1 or 0.
Example:
:OUTPut:STATe 1
A query of boolean data always returns 1 or 0.
String Data
String data can contain any of the ASCII characters. A string must start with a double
"quote" (ASCII 34) or a single `quote` (ASCII 39) and end with the same
character.
Note:
Characters in a string in either double "quote" or single `quote` are case sensitive.
Example: 1
:SOURCe[:PRESsure]:RANGe ‘2.00barg’
Example: 2
:SOURCe[:PRESsure]:RANGe “2.00barg”
selects the 2 bar g range.
A query of a string parameter always returns the string in double "quotes".
