Parameter types and formats

Parameter values may be of several different types, e.g., integer numbers, floating-point numbers, selections from a list of particular values, strings, etc. The following are the parameter types that appear in OTS9100 remote control commands.

<NR1>	An integer number.
<NR2>	A decimal number with integer and/or fractional parts, e.g., 12.43
<NR3>	A decimal number in scientific notation, e.g., 1.243E1

NOTE: A command parameter value specified as <NR2> or <NR3> may be entered in either standard or scientific-notation formats. A query will return its value in the format indicated.

<Enum>	A selection from an enumerated list of values that appear as alphanumeric keywords,
	usually with a mnemonic value.
	For example, the command that specifies the payload inserted into the generated signal
	appears as:
	:SOURCE:DATA:PAYLOAD:PATTERN <Enum>
	followed by a list of possible values,
	PRBS23A	Standard PRBS 223-1 pattern
	PRBS23I	Inverted PRBS 223-1 pattern
	ZEROS	Constant zero data
	ONES	Constant one data
	The command must include one of these values; the corresponding query returns one of
	these values corresponding to the instrument’s current setting.
<Boolean>	A binary value that typically indicates whether a function is on or off, enabled, or
	disabled. Querying a Boolean parameter always returns 0 or 1, never OFF or ON.
	Boolean values may be specified as follows:
	0 or OFF	off, disabled
	1 or ON	on, enabled
<String>	A string of characters, delimited by either apostrophes ‘ or quote marks “. Strings must,
	in general, be composed of ASCII printing characters and may not contain the apostrophe
	or quote mark used as the delimiter.
