Parameters
Refer to “Optional Parameters” on page 112 for additional details on the
parameters in this command.
[a] The mnemonic DEF means DEFault. This is not equivalent to the DEFault parameter used in the command sub-systems. The parameters must
be entered in the specified order. If parameters are omitted, they default from the right. The parameter DEFault is used as a place holder.
Specifying DEF leaves the parameter value unchanged.

logarithmic 1 to 4 represents of 1, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 respectively.
[c] N1912A only.
