GPIB OPERATION | DATA I/O FORMATS |
| All of the Status enable type commands (*SRE for example) |
| Stored numbers (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) |
| Offset table numbers (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...) |
| GPIB addresses (1 to 30) |
| User Averaging number in the AVG command (1 to 512) |
| Display contrast number (1 to 12). |
| The ML2430A Series data formats are summarized below: |
<NR1> | This notation represents ASCII integer values. A comma (,) is used to separate |
| multiple values sent in a single command input or output string. |
| Examples of values that can be represented by <NR1> notation: |
| 1 |
| 0 |
| |
<NR2> | This notation represents ASCII floating point values in decimal point format. A |
| comma (,) is used to separate multiple values sent in a single command's input or |
| output string. |
| Examples of values that can be represented by <NR2> notation: |
| 1.0 |
| |
| 12.743, |
<NR3> | This notation represents ASCII floating point values in exponential format (scien- |
| tific notation). A comma (,) is used to separate multiple values sent in a single |
| command's input or output string. |
| Examples of values that can be represented by <NR3> notation: |
| 1.0E9 |
| 7.056E3 |
| 9.0E2,3.42E2 |
<NRf> | This notation is used to signify that data can be in either <NR1>, <NR2>, or |
| <NR3> format as described above. Examples of values that can be represented |
| by <NRf> notation: |
| 1.0E9 |
| 10.005 |
| 83,4.5E2,234.9901 |
<String> | This notation represents a string of |
| able characters) that is delimited (surrounded) with either single quotes (' ') or |
| double quotes (“ ”). The string can include text formatting characters such as line- |
| feed, space, or carriage return. Note that if a double quote character must be |
| sent as part of the string, then it must be followed by an additional double quote. |
| Alternatively, the string can be sent using single quotes as shown in the “cal_file” |
| example below. Examples of data represented by <String> notation are: |
