ILX Lightwave LDC-3700 Series User Manual

3.2.2 White Space
White space is defined by the syntactic diagram shown in Figure 3.1, where <white space character> is defined as
a single ASCIIencoded byte in the range 00-09, OB-20 (0-9, 11-32 decimal). This range includes the ASCII
control characters, carriage
return, and the space, but excludes the new line character.
In most practical programming situations, the space character (space bar) would be used as white space. White
space is generally
used for separating other syntactic elements. White space is processed by the LDC-3700 Series
Laser Diode Controller without interpretation.

3.2.3 Power-on Conditions
/
/ \
At power-on, the LDC-3700 Series Laser Diode Controller complies with the ANSYIEEE Std 488.2-1987
requirements. It will initialize the setup parameters to
be the same as when the power was last shut down. The
default conditions may
be recalled by using the *RST command. The default conditions are outlined in Section
3.2.12.
/ )
The symbol, <nrf value>, refers to the flexible numeric representation, as defined by the IEEE-488.2 standard. All
this means is that numbers may be represented in one of three forms, integer, floating point, or
engineeringlscientfic notation. For example the number "twenty"
can be represented by an ASCII string of:
These three forms are denoted, NR1, NR2, and NR3, respectively, by the IEEE-488.2 standard. For more
information on the precise
syntax of these dehtions, refer to the IEEE-488.2 standard.
