Data Types
The bus controller can also send data in a range of formats, but the instrument always responds in
a precise format. There are four principal data types;
Numeric Parameters are decimal numbers which include an optional sign, mantissa, decimal
point and exponent. Engineering suffix units are not accepted.
Discrete Parameters have limited values e.g. SINGle, INFinite, and like command keywords
they can have long and short forms, upper and lower case.
Boolean Parameters have a single binary value. The controller can send OFF or 0, ON or 1, but
the instrument response is always 0 or 1.
String Parameters contain ASCII characters which are placed between a pair of double
quotation marks, i.e. " ".
Input Data Format
Numeric data sent to the instrument should be in Ohms or degrees unless stated otherwise. The
value can be in any standard scientific format.
e.g. 3KOHM can be sent as:
The units are not sent.
Output Data Format
Non- Measurement queries
Measurement queries

Note: In IEEE mode the EOI line is also asserted with the transmission of the <lf> terminator.
Measurement queries always return values expressed in Ohms or Degrees, but the units are
omitted. Resistance values are returned with engineering exponents reflecting the resolution and
units displayed on the LCD screen.

S = sign (+/-)
D = decimal digit (0-9)
E = Exponential
<cr> = carriage return character
<lf> = linefeed character
