SCPI Command Reference 17-41
2. If there are a lot of readings stored in the buffer, some statistic operations
may take too long and cause a bus time-out error. To avoid this, send the
:calc3:data? command and then wait for the MAV (message available) bit
in the Status Byte Register to set before addressing the SourceMeter to
talk. See Section 14.
3. See Appendix C for a detailed explanation on how data flows through the
various operation blocks of the SourceMeter. It clarifies the types of read-
ings that are acquired by the various commands to read data.

6 5.5 digit resolution
7 6.5 digit resolution
DEFault 5.5 digit resolution
MINimum 3.5 digit resolution
MAXimum 6.5 digit resolution
Query :DIGits? Query display resolution

Description This command is used to set the display resolution. Note that you can
instead use rational numbers. For example, to select 4.5 digit resolution, you
can send a parameter value of 4.5 (instead of 5). The SourceMeter rounds
the rational number to an integer.
