IEEE 488.2/SCPI Syntax and Style
Parameters: Units of Measure and Multipliers
Refer to IEEE 488.2, section 7.7.3 for the definition of units of measure.
The default units of measure include:
• V (Volt - voltage)
• A (Ampere - current)
• W (Watt - power)
• S (seconds - time)
These units are only supported as defaults. To place the unit in the
command will cause an error to be pushed into the error queue.
