NFORMATION
The supply conforms to most of the specifications for devices as defined in IEEE-
488.2 and SCPI Version 1995.0. Confirmed Commands are those that are
approved commands in the SCPI 1995 Specification, Volume 2: Command
Reference. Confirmed Commands are denoted by a “C” in the “SCPI” column.
Any commands that are not Confirmed Commands are labeled as Not Approved
denoted by an “N” (e.g., Section 3.5.2).

Type Valid Arguments
“ON” or 1. “OFF” or 0.
The data format is defined in IEEE-488.2 for integers.
Zero, positive and negative integer numeric values are valid data.
<0+NR1> Zero and positive integer numeric values.
<-NR1> Negative integer numeric values.
The data format is defined in IEEE-488.2 for flexible Numeric
Representation. Zero, positive and negative floating point numeric
values are some examples of valid data.
<0+NRf> Zero and positive floating point numeric values.
<-NRf> Negative floating point numeric values.

NITS
The Series M130 will accept the following units as suffixes to numeric values:
Table 3-6 M130 Units
UNITS
Type of Unit Valid Suffix
Voltage “VOLTS” or “volts”, “V” or “v”, “MV” or “mv” or “mV”
Current “AMPS” or “amps”, “A” or “a”, “MA” or “ma” or “mA”
Time “SEC” or “sec”, “S” or “s”, “MS” or “ms”, “MIN” or “min”
Frequency “HZ” or “hz”
The default units are VOLTS, AMPS, SEC, and HZ. For example, “SOUR:VOLT
1” programs 1 volt. To program in units of millivolts, type “SOUR:VOLT 1mV”.
