numeric value is provided.
●
MIN/MAX
MINimum and MAXimum denote the minimum and maximum value.

ory. This value conforms to the default setting, as it is called by the *RST com-
mand.

UP, DOWN increases or reduces the numeric value by one step. The step width can
be specified via an allocated step command for each parameter which can be set
via UP, DOWN.
●
INF/NINF
INFinity, Negative INFinity (NINF) represent the numeric values 9.9E37
or -9.9E37, respectively. INF and NINF are only sent as instrument responses.
●
NAN
Not A Number (NAN) represents the value 9.91E37. NAN is only sent as an instru-
ment response. This value is not defined. Possible causes are the division by zero,
the subtraction of infinite from infinite and the representation of missing values.
Boolean Parameters
Boolean parameters represent two states. The "ON" state (logically true) is represen-
ted by "ON" or a numeric value 1. The "OFF" state (logically untrue) is represented by
"OFF" or the numeric value 0. The numeric values are provided as the response for a
