6 SCPI Basics
The following are examples of real response data:
Integer Response Data
Integer response data are decimal representations of integer values including optional
signs. Most status register related queries return integer response data. The following are
examples of integer response data:
Discrete Response Data
Discrete response data are similar to discrete parameters. The main difference is that
discrete response data only returns the short form of a particular mnemonic, in all upper
case letters. The following are examples of discrete response data:
Numeric Boolean Response Data
Boolean response data returns a binary numeric value of one or zero.
String Response Data
String response data are similar to string parameters. The main difference is that string
response data returns double quotes, 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.
