Numeric parameters
The TOS3200 uses the following five types of numeric parameters.
Special form numeric parameter
The special form numeric parameters MINimum and MAXimum can be used as substitutes
for limit values when the parameter is numeric.
In the example below, the buzzer volume for FAIL judgments is to the minimum value.
SYSTem:BEEPer:VOLume:FAIL MINimum
The minimum and maximum values can be inquired for most parameters using queries.
CURRent:LIMit:UPPer? MAX
Measurement unit
Below are the default measurement units. Commands will be accepted even if measurement
units are not specified.
• A (current)
• V (voltage)
• W (wattage)
• S (second)
The following optional prefixes are supported. To enter “μ” in the parameter, use “U” instead.
• M (milli)
• U (micro)

Description
NR1
Represents an integer.
*1
*1. Details are given in the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumen-
tation.
NR2
Represents a real number (floating point).
*1
NR3
Represents a real number (exponential).
*1
The value +3.80000+E02 is returned for the response data 380. The
number of digits to the right of the decimal is 5.
NRf NRf is a generic term that includes NR1, NR2, and NR3.
Numeric
Represents a decimal point, optional sign, and measurement unit.
The numeric representation syntax is the same as NRf.
MINimum and MAXimum are available as substitutes for declaring
certain values.
Units such as V, A, and S can also be used in a numeric parameter.
If a value that cannot be assigned is entered, the device will round the
value to the closest possible value.
(Example) SYSTem:BEEPer:VOLume:FAIL 20
The range of values for SYST:BEEP:VOL:FAIL is 0 to 10. Thus, 10 is
set even if 20 is specified.
The unit symbols in the International System of Units contain lowercase characters. The
IEEE standard uses uppercase characters. SCPI commands are not case sensitive.
