Parameter Definitions | Agilent Technologies 35670A specification

Parameter Definitions:

<BLOCK>

If you are sending binary data using indefinite length syntax, <BLOCK> takes the following form:

<BLOCK> ::= #0<data_byte>[,<data_byte>] . . .<LF><^END> <data_byte> ::= unsigned 8-bit data

<LF> ::= line feed character, ASCII decimal 10 <^END> ::= GPIB END message (EOI set true)

If you are sending binary data using definite length syntax, <BLOCK> takes the following form:

<BLOCK> ::= #<byte><length_bytes><data_byte>[<data_byte>] . . .

<byte> ::= number of length bytes to follow (ASCII encoded) <length_bytes> ::= number of data bytes to follow (ASCII encoded) <data_byte> ::= unsigned 8-bit data

If you are sending ASCII data, <BLOCK> takes the following form: <BLOCK> ::= Integer[,Integer]. . . <LF>

<BLOCK> ::= Floating-point number[,Floating-point]. . . <LF>

<FILENAME> takes the following form:

<FILENAME> ::= ‘[MSIS:][\DIR_NAME\]filename’

where MSIS: must be replaced with:

RAM: which selects volatile RAM.

NVRAM: which selects non-volatile RAM.

INT: which selects the internal disk drive.

EXT[,<select_code>[,<unit_number>]]: which selects the external disk drive.

\DIR_NAME\ ::= ASCII characters (MS-DOS file systems only)

<MMEMNAME> takes the following form:

<MMEMNAME> ::= ‘[MSIS:][\DIR_NAME\]filename’ ‘MSIS:[\DIR_NAME\][filename]’

_ ‘MSIS:[\DIR_NAME\]filename’ See <FILENAME> for additional information.

<MSINAME> takes the following form:

<MSINAME> ::= ‘MSIS:[\DIR_NAME\]’ See <FILENAME> for additional information.

to the Command Reference,” in GPIB Programming with the Agilent 35670A.
