IEEE-488 Reference
5-30
• While ignoring the sign (+ or -), the parameter value is rounded
to an integer.
• A zero result is interpreted as OFF, and a non-zero result is in-
terpreted as ON.
Example:
:INITiate:CONTinuous ON Enable continuous initiation
<name> Name parameter: Select a parameter name from a listed group. Exam-
ple:
<name> = AHIGH
= ALOW
:OUTPut:TTL:LSENse AHIGH
<NRf> Numeric representation format: This parameter is a number that can
be expressed as an integer (e.g., 8), a real number (e.g., 23.6) or an ex-
ponent (2.3E6) When necessary, the Model 7001 will round real and
exponential parameter values to an integer. Example:
:SAV 36 Save setup in memory location 36.
<n> Numeric value: A numeric value parameter can consist of an NRf
number or one of the following name parameters; DEFault, MINimum
or MAXimum. When the DEFault parameter is used, the instrument
will be programmed to the *RST default value. When the MINimum
parameter is used, the instrument will be programmed to the lowest al-
lowable value. When the MAXimum parameter is used, the instru-
ment will be programmed to the largest allowable value. Examples:
:TRIGger:TIMer 0.1 Sets timer to 100msec.
:TRIGger:TIMer DEFault Sets timer to 1msec.
:TRIGger:TIMer MINimum Sets timer to 1msec.
:TRIGger:TIMer MAXimum Sets timer to 999999.999sec.
<list> List: This parameter type is used to indicate that a list of channels is
required with the command word. The following example demon-
strates the proper format for specifying a list:
:CLOSe (@ 1!1, 1!3) Close channels 1 and 3 of Slot 1.
Angle brackets < >:
In this manual, angle brackets (<>) are used to denote param-
eter type.
Do not
include the brackets in the program message. For example:
:SOURce:TTL2 <b>
