The Program Header Separator is used to separate the

program header from the program data. It consists of one

or more white space characters, denoted as <ws>.

Typically, it is a space.

c) Program Data

The Program Data represent the values of the parameters

being set, for example, the '1KHZ' in the above

examples. Different forms of program data are accepted,

depending on the command. The Program Data types

used in the instrument are:

i) Character program data

This form of data is comprised of a mnemonic made up of

lower - or upper-case alpha characters. As with Program

Header mnemonics, some Character Data mnemonics

have short and long forms. Only the short or the long form

may be used.

ii) Boolean data

Boolean data indicate that the parameter can take one of

two states, ON or OFF. The parameter may be character

type

ON or OFF

or numeric. A numeric value is rounded to an integer. A

non-zero result is interpreted as 1 (ON), and a zero result

as 0 (OFF).

Queries return the values 0 or 1.
