Programming Guide for DG1000 
Parameter Type 
The commands contain 5 kinds of parameters, different parameters have different 
setting methods.  
1.  Boolean Parameters 
The parameters could be “OFF” or “ON” (“0” or “1”), for example, 
AM:STATE {OFF|ON} 
“OFF” denotes disabling AM function. “On” denotes enabling AM function. 
 
2.  Consecutive Integer Parameters  
The parameters could be a consecutive integer, for example, 
DISPlay:CONTRAST <value> 
<value> could be any integer between 0 and 31(including 0 and 31).  
 
3.  Consecutive Real Number Parameters 
The parameters could be any value  within the effective range  and  with the 
required precision, for example, 
FREQuency {<frequency>|MINimum|MAXimum} 
For sine wave, <frequency> could be any real number between 1uHz and 20MHz. 
 
4.  Discrete Parameters 
The parameters could be a cited value, for example, 
MEMory:STATe:NAME? {0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10} 
The parameter could only be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 7, 8, 9 or 10. 
 
5.  ASCII Character String 
The parameters should be the combinations of ASCII characters, for example,   
DATA:COPY <destination arb name>[,VOLATILE] 
<destination arb name> is a character string defined by user.
