A command argument can be in one of several forms. The individual descriptions
of each command tell which argument types to use with that command.
Numeric Arguments
Many instrument commands require numeric arguments.
Table 5: Types of numeric arguments
Symbol Meaning
<NR1> Signed integer value
<NR2> Floating point value without an exponent
<NR3> Floating point value with an exponent
The syntax shown is the data format that the instrument returns in response to a
query. This format is also the preferred format when sending a command to the
instrument.
When you enter an incorrect numeric argument, the instrument automatically
forces the numeric argument to a correct value.
