Query Response:
Description:
The SIZE command sets the field size (in base 10) used in
connection with the GETA, GETR, PUTA, and PUTR commands.
If a negative size is specified, then values given (or returned)
are sign extended to 32 bits. For example, if SIZE = -16 and a
16 bit field containing FFFF hex is fetched, then the value
FFFFFFFF hex is returned. The SIZE? query returns the current
setting of SIZE in base 10. SIZE is preset to 16 each time the
generator is powered on.

applications and command files created by Quantum Data.
