REAL Real part of immittance (either Rs or Gp)
MLINear Magnitude of immittance (|Z|or |Y|)
Note: Immittance is generic name of impedance and admittance.
Setting example: :CALC1:FORM CS
Sets the primary parameter to the capacitance expressed with series
equivalent circuit.
Response: {Z|Y|R|RP|RS|G|C|CP|CS|L|LP|LS|REAL|MLIN}
Query example: :CALC1:FORM?
Response example: CS
The primary parameter is the capacitance expressed with series equivalent
circuit.
Remarks: Equivalent circuit assumed in the measurement of primary parameters is
as follows:
Z, Y Not depend on the equivalent circuit.
RS, CS, LS Series equivalent circuit
RP, CP, LP, G Parallel equivalent circuit
These parameters do not depend on [:SENSe]:FUNCtion[:ON]
command and equivalent circuit setting.
REAL, MLINear, R, C, L
These parameters depend on [:SENSe]:FUNCtion[:ON] command and
equivalent circuit setting. See below.

<When automatic selection of equivalent circuit is enabled,
(:CALC1:CKIT:AUTO ON)>
For R, C, and L, the equivalent circuit automatic selecting function has
priority over the setting of [:SENSe]:FUNCtion[:ON].
