4-24 370B User Manual

Linked Arguments. In other cases, the argument itself requires another argument.

When an argument to an argument is required, a colon links the two; hence the

second is called a linked argument.

DISplay INVert:ON

VERt COLlect:1.0E+0

WFMpre NR.PT:512

Queries. For most commands there is a corresponding query formed by adding a

question mark to the header key word. Do not put a space between the last

character of the key word and the question mark.

Queries for the 370B need only the header and question mark, though the

response will usually be more involved.

Multiple Arguments. Where a header has multiple arguments, the successive

arguments (or argument pairs if the arguments have linked arguments) must be

separated by commas.

STP CUR: 2E–6, MUL:ON, NUM:5

DIS VIE:10, REF:ON

Numeric Arguments Formats. Many Commands have numeric arguments. The

numbers are decimal (base 10) values. They are expressed in three different

formats, denoted <NR1>, <NR2>, and <NR3>. These formats are shown in

Table 4–4.
