Command Reference 9-39
:FORMat :FIXedPM6680B/81/85
8 <Boolean>
Response Data Format
Sets the ASCii format to fixed. This results in the following response format:
<sign><mantissa value>E<sign><exponent value>
Where:
<sign> = +|–
<mantissa value> = 12 digits plus one decimal point.
<exponent value> = 3 digits
Parameters <Boolean> = (1 / ON|0/OFF)
+
The counter will add leading zeroes when the measurement resolution is less
than 12 digits.
Returned format: 1|0 ¿
*RST condition: OFF
