Agilent Technologies Agilent 86120C 0.28E2 280E-1 28000m 0.028K 28E-3K, 9. Suffix Multipliers

Programming

Reviewing SCPI Syntax Rules

is taken care of automatically when you include the entire instruction in a string. Several representations of a number are possible. For example, the following numbers are all equal:

28

0.28E2

280E-1

28000m

0.028K

28E-3K

If a measurement cannot be made, no response is given and an error is placed into the error queue. For example,

*RST

FETCh:POW?

will timeout the controller and place a Data stale or corrupt error in the error queue.
