5.10.2 Numeric / Data Type Parameters
<NR1> Digits with an implied decimal point assumed at the right of the least
significant digit. Example: 255
Digits with an explicit decimal point. Example: .0253
Digits in the hexadecimal format
<Bool> Boolean data. Examples: 0|1 or OFF|ON. Boolean parameters represent a
single binary condition that is either true or false. I.e. for a false condition,
the Power Supply will accept “OFF” or “0”. For a true condition, the Power
Supply will accept “ON” or “1” (OUT {OFF|ON}).
* Any number x which holds -0.5<x<0.5 is regarded as FALSE, otherwise
<DSC> DiSCrete. Discrete parameters are used to program settings that have a
limited number of values (i.e. RMT {LOC|REM|LLO})
<SRD> String Response Data. Predefined format of symbolic string parameters.
Example: 29920Bits/V,00000Bits,3.3459E-05Volt/Bit,-0.0016Volts
