NDIG
Number of Digits. Designates the number of digits to be displayed by the
multimeter.
Syntax NDIG [value]
value
The value parameter can be an integer from 3 to 8 (there is an implied ½ digit;
that is, when you specify NDIG 3, the multimeter displays 3½ digits.)
Power-on value = 7 (7½ digits).
Default value = 7 (7½ digits).
Remarks • The NDIG command sets the maximum number of digits displayed. It does not
affect the A/D converter's resolution or readings sent to memory or the GPIB
bus. The multimeter cannot display more digits than are resolved by the A/D
converter.
• Query Command. The NDIG? query command returns the currently specified
number of digits. Refer to "Query Commands" near the front of this chapter for
more information.
