Vn.n = IEEE-488 Interface software version number

The output data from some Get commands starts with a leading 1 or 10. This prevents the controller from suppressing leading zeroes and gives a uniform four-character length to all instrument configuration data (the data from Get commands G0, G4, G5, G6, and G7).

The Get commands are described further in the following paragraphs. For more information about output data, see paragraph 3-39.
