2.3 Parameter Type
The parameters in the commands introduced in this manual include 6 types: boolean,
enumeration, integer, float, discrete and string.
1, Boolean
The parameters in the commands could be “OFF”, “ON”, “0”or “1”.For example:
[:SENSe]:FREQuency:CENTer:STEP:AUTO OFF|ON|0|1
2, Enumeration
The parameter could be any of the values listed. For example:
[:SENSe]:AVERage:TYPE LOGPower|POWer|VOLTage
The parameter is “OGPower”, “POWer”or “VOLTage”.
3, String
The parameter should be the combinations of ASCII characters. For example:
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:IPADdress <“xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”>
The parameter can be set as “192.168.1.12” string.
4, Integer
Except other notes, the parameter can be any integer within the effective value range. For
example:
[:SENSe]:DEMod:VOLume <value>
The parameter < value > can be set to any integer between 0 and 10.
5, Float
The parameter could be any value within the effective value range according to the accuracy
requirement (the default accuracy contains up to 9 digits after the decimal points). For example:
:CALCulate:BANDwidth:NDB <value>
The parameter < value > can be set to any real number between -100 and 100.
6, Discrete
The parameter could only be one of the specified values and these values are discontinuous. For
example:
[:SENSe]:BWIDth:VIDeo:RATio <number>
The parameter <number> could only be one of 0.001, 0.003, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, 10.0,
30.0, 100.0, 300.0, 1000.0.
2.4 Command Abbreviation
All of the commands are not case sensitive, so you can use any of them. But if abbreviation
is used, all the capital letters in the command must be written completely. For example:
:DISPlay:WINDow:TRACe:Y:DLINe:STATe?
Can be abbreviated to:
:DISP:WIND:TRAC:Y:DLIN:STAT?
