Table 3.1 Command Parameters

Floating Point Number <float> Variables sent with command parameters are

floating point numbers. Table3.2 defines the structure of floating point numbers for use with the software commands.

Table 3.2 Floating Point Numbers

CommandStringsIf you send more than one command line, separate the commands with a semicolon. The semicolon may be preceded or followed by spaces.Example:

Parameter Description Form

<current>, <Ihi>, <Ilo> The current in amps or milliamps. If no unit is

given, the default unit is amps.

<float>

<float>A

<float>mA

<time> The time in seconds or milliseconds. If no unit

is given, the default unit is seconds.

<float>

<float>s

<float>ms

<voltage>, <Vlo>, <Vhi> The voltage in volts or millivolts. If no unit is

given, the default unit is volts.

<float>

<float>V

<float>mV

<mnemonics> A combination of CV, CC, CV, OV, OT, SD,

FOLD, ERR, PON, REM, ACF, OPF, and

SNSP. See MASK and UNMASK commands

in the command reference for use of the ALL

and NONE parameters.

See registers

on page 51.

<state> The state of a binary condition. <1/ON,

0/OFF>

Floating Number Definition Example

The floating point number has four significant figures.

It can be of either sign, positive or negative.

1.234

-1.234

+1.234

A floating point number can have one decimal point. 0.123

1.2
