Argument Types
A command argument can be in one of several forms. The individual
descriptions of each command tell which argument types to use with
that command.
Numeric Arguments
Many oscilloscope commands require numeric arguments. Table 2--5
lists the three types of numeric argument.
Table 2- 5: Types of numeric arguments
Symbol Meaning
<NR1> Signed integer value
<NR2> Floating point value without an exponent
<NR3> Floating point value with an exponent
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--6 lists how the oscilloscope handles incorrect numeric
arguments.
