The parameters contained in this manual can be divided into the following five types: Bool, Integer, Real,
Discrete, and ASCII String.
1. Bool
The parameter can be set to ON (1) or OFF (0).
2. Integer
Unless otherwise specified, the parameter can be any integer within the effective value range.
Note: Do not set the parameter to a decimal, otherwise, errors will occur.

The parameters can only be the specified numerical values or characters.
5. ASCII String
The parameter can be the combinations of ASCII characters.
Besides, many commands support the MINimum, MAXimum, or DEF parameter. MINimum indicates setting
the parameter to a minimum value or querying the minimum value of the parameter; MAXimum indicates
setting the parameter to a maximum value or querying the maximum value of the parameter; DEF indicates
setting the parameter to a default value.
Command Abbreviation
The letters in the commands are case-insensitive. The commands can be input in uppercase letters or in
lowercase letters. If abbreviation is used, you must enter all the uppercase letters that exist in the
command syntax. For example, :SYSTem:ERRor? can be abbreviated as :SYST:ERR?
