5.6 Command Explanation
5-53 ZM2371/ZM2372
 Packed format
The measured value is transferred in the ASCII character string format in which the display
digits are fixed. Numeric value is transferred with definite length ASCII character string in
which an exponential part and decimal point position are fixed.
Repeat
# <number of digits> <number of bytes> <data> <message terminator>
# # is attached at the leading position
<number of digits> Number of digits of character string that ASCII
indicates the number of bytes (1 byte)
<number of bytes> Number of bytes of all data
<data> ASCII character string of number of characters specified every type of
parameters
When multiple numeric data are transferred, they are fed successively without separating
them with a comma (,). At the end, a message terminator (LF^EOI) is added. Note that a
message terminator (LF^EOI) is added at the end, different from the definite length
arbitrary block specified by the IEEE 488.2 Standard.
Each <data> is expressed as follows:
<measurement status>, <primary parameter comparison result>, <secondary parameter
comparison result>
Number of characters 1
Content 1-digit integer indicating respective results 0 - 8
<comparator’s bin sorting result>
Number of characters 2
Content 2-digit integer indicating <comparator’s bin sorting result> 00 - 16
<primary parameter measured value>, <secondary parameter measured value>
Number of characters 10
Content The following three items are successively placed without
separating them with a comma (,), space, or decimal point.
Sign (1 character {+|}
Count value indicating the magnitude of measured value (6
characters 000000 - 999999)
Exponential part (3 characters -99 to +00 to +99)
Measured value = Sign factor {+1|1}  Count value 
(“exponential part” power of 10)
Specifying the digit For the display digits (decimal point position and exponential
part) of data such as L, C and R, specify the reference value for
deviation measurement. For example, if the reference value for
deviation measurement is set to 12m (12.0000m), the measured
value 00.0000m - 99.9999m is converted into count value
000000 - 999999 and exponential part -07, and output. The
deviation is also converted similarly.
Deviation % 999.999% is output as follows:
sign {+|}, count value 000000 - 999999, exponential part
-03
Phase  180.000 is output as follows:
sign {+|}, count value 000000 - 180000, exponential part
-03
The count value exceeding 999999 is all converted into 999999.
At this time, the sign is retained.
