 The mnemonic DEF means DEFault. This is not equivalent to the DEFault parameter used in the 
command sub-systems. The parameters must be entered in the specified order. If parameters are 
omitted, they default from the right. The parameter DEFault is used as a place holder. Specifying 
DEF leaves the parameter value unchanged.

 When the measurement result is linear this parameter represents the number of significant 
digits. When the measurement result is logarithmic 1 to 4 represents of 1, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 
respectively.
