Parameter Type
The parameters of the commands introduced in this manual contains 5 types: bool, integer, real number,
discrete and ASCII string.
1. Bool
The parameter could be OFF, ON, 0 or 1. For example, [:SOURce]:AM:STATe ON|OFF|1|0
2. Integer
Unless otherwise noted, the parameter can be any integer within the effective value range. Note that
do not set the parameter to a decimal; otherwise, errors will occur. For example, in
the :SYSTem:BRIGhtness <value> command, <value> can be any integer from 0 to 7.
3. Real Number
Unless otherwise noted, the parameter can be any real number within the effective value range.
For example, the range of <value> in the [:SOURce]:AM:FREQuency <value> command is from
100mHz to 1MHz.
4. Discrete
The parameter could only be one of the specified values or characters. For example, in the
[:SOURce]:AM:WAVEform SINE|SQUA command, the parameter can be SINE or SQUA.
5. ASCII String
The parameter should be the combinations of ASCII characters. For example, in the :MMEMory:SAVe
<file_name> command, <file_name> is the filename of the file to be saved and can include Chinese
characters (a Chinese character occupies two bytes), English characters and numbers. The filename
cannot exceed 28 bytes.
Command Abbreviation
All the commands are case-insensitive and you can use any of them. If abbreviation is used, all the capital
letters in the command must be written completely. For example, the :MMEMory:DISK:FORMat command
can be abbreviated to :MMEM:DISK:FORM.
