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
	–29,179
<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
	–0.00015
	12.743, –180.07
<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 7-bit ASCII characters (including non print-
	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:
