Table 4-5. Command and Query Reference (cont)

FORMAT	Response Format
	Set the output format type to include or exclude measurement units.
	FORMAT 1	Measurements returned without units.
	FORMAT 2	Measurements returned with units.
	Commands that return measurement data (like LAST?, NEXT?, MIN?,
	MAX?) can be expressed as a number only (FORMAT 1) or as a number
	with a measurement unit (FORMAT 2). If this command is entered during
	scanning while logging to the memory card, an Execution Error is
	generated. The measurement units are:
	MEASUREMENT		UNITS STRING
	Scaled		MX+B”
	Volts DC		“VDC”
	Volts AC		“VAC”
	Resistance		“OHMS”
	Frequency		“Hz”
	Temperature °C		“C”
	Temperature °F		“F”

With FORMAT 1 asserted, typical returns would be +890.22E+0, +230.96E-3, 072.4E+0, +003.2E; with FORMAT 2 asserted, the returns would be +890.22E+0 HZ,+230.96E-3 VAC, 072.4E+0 F, +003.2E+0 Mx+B.

FORMAT?	Query Response Format
	Returns the output format type.
	1	Measurements returned without units.
	2	Measurements returned with units.
	Commands that return measurement data (like LAST?, NEXT?, MIN?,
	MAX?) can be expressed as a number only (FORMAT 1) or as a number
	with a measurement unit (FORMAT 2). The measurement units are:

MEASUREMENT	UNITS STRING
Scaled	MX+B”
Volts DC	“VDC”
Volts AC	“VAC”
Resistance	“OHMS”
Frequency	“Hz”
Temperature °C	“C”
Temperature °F	“F”

Example: FORMAT? returns 2 [Measurement data will be returned with a units indicator, e.g., +230.96E-3 VAC.]
