Specifications

The Comments section within the Command Reference will state
whether a numeric parameter can also be specified in hex, octal,
and/or binary.
#H7B, #Q173, #B1111011
Boolean Represents a single binary condition that is either true or false.
ON, OFF, 1, 0.
Discrete Selects from a finite number of values. These parameters use
mnemonics to represent each valid setting.
An example is the TRIGger:SOURce <source> command
where <source> can be BUS, EXT, HOLD, IMM, SCP,
TIMer or TTLTrg<n>.
Channel List The general form of a single channel specification is:
ccnn
where cc represents the card number and nn represents the
channel number.
Since the VT1419A has an on-board 64 channel multiplexer,
the card number will be 1 and the channel number can range from
00 to 63. Some example channel specifications:
channel 0=100, channel 5=105, channel 54=154
The General form of a channel range specification is:
ccnn:ccnn (colon separator)
(the second channel must be greater than the first)
Example:
channels 0 through 15=100:115
By using commas to separate them, individual and range
specifications can be combined into a single channel list:
0, 5, 6 through 32 and 45=(@100,105,106:132,145)
Note that a channel list is always contained within “(@” and “)”.
The Command Reference always shows the “(@” and “)”
punctuation:
(@<ch_list>)
Arbitrary Block This parameter or data type is used to transfer a block of data
Program and in the form of bytes. The block of data bytes is preceded by a
Response Data preamble which indicates either 1) the number of data bytes
which follow (definite length) or 2) that the following data block
will be terminated upon receipt of a New Line message and for
GPIB operation, with the EOI signal true (indefinite length). The
syntax for this parameter is:
