Floating Point Number <float> Variables sent with command parameters are floating point numbers. Table 3.2 defines the structure of floating point numbers for use with the software commands.

Table 3.2 Floating Point Numbers

Floating Number Definition	Example
The floating point number has four significant figures.	1.234
It can be of either sign, positive or negative.	-1.234
	+1.234
A floating point number can have one decimal point.	0.123
	1.2
	123.4
Scientific Notation	123.0E-1
Use E or e after the number for a base ten exponent.	1.2E-1
An integer of either sign must follow an exponent.	10.00E+1

Command If you send more than one command line, separate the commands with a semicolon. Strings The semicolon may be preceded or followed by spaces.
