Numeric Arguments
Many oscilloscope commands require numeric arguments. Table 2-4

The syntax shown is the data format that the oscilloscope returns in
response to a query. This format is also the preferred format when
sending a command to the oscilloscope.
When you enter an incorrect numeric argument, the oscilloscope
automatically forces the numeric argument to a correct value.
Table 2-5 lists how the oscilloscope handles incorrect numeric
