Integer Response Data Integer response data are decimal representations of integer
values including optional signs. Most status register related queries return integer
response data.
Examples of integer response data:
Discrete Response Data Discrete response data are similar to discrete parameters. The
main difference is that discrete response data return only the short form of a particular
mnemonic, in all upper case letters.
Examples of discrete response data:
String Response Data String response data are similar to string parameters. The main
difference is that string response data use only double quotes as delimiters, rather than
single quotes. Embedded double quotes may be present in string response data. Embedded
quotes appear as two adjacent double quotes with no characters between them.
Examples of string response data:
0 signs are optional
+100 leading + sign allowed
−100 leading sign allowed
256 never any decimal point
