Section 7 SCPI Outline
Parameter
The table below shows types of parameters used by this measuring instrument
This operation manual expresses parameter types in lowercase characters enclosed by angled brackets ( < and > ) in the table below.
Moreover, the <PROGRAM DATA> type corresponding to the parameter type, specified by IEEE488.2 (or SCPI), is expressed in uppercase characters.
The correspondence between each parameter type and <PROGRAM DATA> specified by IEEE488.2 (or SCPI) is de- scribed for each command.
Table 7-1 Details of Parameter Type
Parameter T V D ~
Expresses a decimal digit. <CHARACTER PROGRAM DATA> such as MINirnum and
<numeric>
<DECIMAL NUMERIC | MAXimum are included as special numerical value type data. | |
The numerical values used by this device are mainly integer type. | ||
PROGRAM DATA> | ||
Therefore, the fractional part is rounded. | ||
| ||
<boolean> | Expresses a theoretical value. | |
<BOOLEAN | OFF or 0 corresponds to false and ON or 1 corresponds to true. The setting can be done | |
PROGRAM DATA> | by O and 1, or OFF and ON. However, the setting for the response to a query must be | |
(Defined by SCPI) | done by O or I . | |
<string> | Expresses a character string, made of ASCII characters enclosed by single quotation | |
marks ( ') or double quotation marks ( " ) . | ||
<STRING PROGRAM | ||
Either long or short form can be used. | ||
DATA> | ||
Example: 'LOF : M 139' or "LOF : M 139" | ||
| ||
<brate>, <type>..etc | Expresses a character data. Expressed in a short character string that corresponds to the | |
<CHARACTER | setting details | |
PROGRAM DATA> | Either the long or short form can be used. |
