Parameter Type
1. MIN|MAX|DEF
A MIN or MAX or DEF is usually used in a command to replace some parameters.
For example, in the command “:MEASure:VOLTage:DC
{0|1|2|3|4|MIN|MAX|DEF}”
In this command, MIN equals to 0, MAX equals to 4 and DEF equals to 2. For
more details please refer to “:MEASure:VOLTage:DC”.
2. Consecutive Integer Parameter
The parameters can be any integers within the effective range. Please do not use
a decimal format for parameters, or else an error may occur. For example, in the
command ":SYSTem:DISPlay:BRIGht", the parameter can be any integers
within 0 and 255.
3. Consecutive Real Number Parameter
The parameters can be any values within the effective range under the precision
requirements. For example, in the command ":CALCulate:NULL:OFFSet", the
parameter value can reach the seventh decimal place.
4. Discrete Parameters
The parameters should be an option listed in a command. For example, in the
command ":MEASure:VOLTage:AC", the parameter can only be 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4.
5. Boolean Parameters
The parameters should be ON (1) or OFF (0). For example, in the command
“:SYSTem:BEEPer:STATe”, the parameter can only be ON (1) or OFF (0).
6. ASCII Character string
The parameter should be a composition of ASCII characters. For example, in the
command ":SYSTem:CLOCk:DATE”, the parameter is a string in date format.
