succeeding value.
In the M5 format for the value block there is a unit (dim), which follows the 4-digit
(divided by blanks) value block.
The values are typed right-aligned in the blocks. Decimal point, digits after the comma
and definitions of preceding characters correspond to the internal instrument
specifications.
