HP-IB Units (UNITs)
HP-IB Units are the units-of-measure used by the Test Set when sending numeric
data (field settings and measurement results) through HP-IB, and the default
units-of-measure for receiving numeric data (field settings and measurement
results) through HP-IB. Changing HP-IB Units has no affect on the Display Units
or Attribute Units settings. Table 7 lists the HP-IB Units used in the Test Set.
Use the UNITs? command to determine the HP-IB Units for a measurement result
or field setting (refer to
"Reading-Back HP-IB Units." on page 72 for more
information).
