4. Triangle Brackets < >
The parameter enclosed in the triangle brackets must be replaced by an effective value. For example,
send the SYSTem:UTIlity:DISPlay:BRIGht
<value> command in SYSTem:UTIlity:DISPlay:BRIGht 5
form.
Parameter Type
The parameters of the commands introduced in this manual contains 7 types: Scan list/Channel
list/Channel, bool, integer, discrete, numeric, ASCII character string and filename.
1. Scan list/Channel list/Channel
The scan list parameter can be one or more channels. For example, in the
CONFigure:CURRent:AC
[{<range>|AUTO|MIN|MAX|DEF}[,{<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF}],](@<scan
_list>) command, the parameter (@<scan_list>) can be (@301:302,215) (representing channel 01
through 02 on the module in Slot3 and channel 15 on the module in Slot2), (@201) (representing
channel 01 on the module in Slot2) or (@101:112) (representing channel 01 through 12 on the module
in Slot1). This parameter will reset the current scan list.
The channel list parameter can be one or more channels. For example, in the
[SENSe:]VOLTage[:DC]:NPLC
{<PLCs>|MIN|MAX}[,(@<ch_list>)] command, the parameter
(@<ch_list>) can be (@301:302,215) (representing channel 01 through 02 on the module in Slot3 and
channel 15 on the module in Slot2), (@201) (representing channel 01 on the module in Slot2) or
(@101:112) (representing channel 01 through 12 on the module in Slot1). The current scan list will not
be affected by this parameter.
The channel parameter can only be a single channel. For example, in the ROUTe:SCAN:ADD
(@<channel>) command, the parameter <channel> can be (@213) (representing channel 13 on the
module in Slot2). The current scan list will not be affected by this parameter.
2. Bool
The parameter can be OFF, ON, 0 or 1. For example, DISPlay
OFF|0|ON|1.
3. 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:UTIlity:DISPlay:BRIGht
<value> command, <value> can be any integer from 0 to 15.
4. Discrete
The parameter can only be one of the specified values or characters. For example, in the
OUTPut:ALARm[<n>]:MODE
{LATCh|TRACk} command, the parameter can be LATCh or TRACk.
5. Numeric
Unless otherwise noted, the parameter can be any real number within the effective value range.
For example, the range of <time> in the
[SENSe:]CURRent[:DC]:APERture
{<time>|MIN|MAX}[,(@<ch_list>)] command is from 33 µs to 4s.
6. ASCII Character String
The parameter should be the combinations of ASCII characters. For example, in the
CALCulate:SCALe:UNIT <quoted_string>[,(@<ch_list>)] command, <quoted_string> is the unit of
the scaling parameter and can include English characters and numbers.
7. Filename
The parameter represents the file name. The range of the parameter differs for the file with different
extension. The parameter can include English letters, Chinese characters, underline and numbers. For
details, please refer to the parameter description of the specific command.
