:EXPonent <name>
:FORMat:EXPonent <name> Set exponent format.
Parameters <name> = NORMal Normal format
= HPRecision High-precision format
Query :EXPonent? Query exponent format
Description This command defines the exponent format. The default setting is NORMal, in which case the
returned value is formatted according to the engineering units of the present range (for example,
0.0012341E+03 on the 2k, 20k, or 200k range). Choosing HPRecision selects the highest preci-
sion possible, so the above example would be returned as 1.2341234E+00 with three extra digits
of precision.
Programming example OUTPUT 716; “:form:exp hpr”
