Definition of Terms
Many special terms are used throughout this documentation. The table below provides brief definitions
of commonly-used terms. Please refer to the "Getting Started Guide" for detailed explanations.
Term Meaning
Default Unit The default measurement unit of the setting.
Default Terminator Indicates the units that will be attached to the numeric value that you have
entered. This default will be used from the front panel, when you terminate your
entry by pressing the
Enter key, rather then selecting a units key. This default
will be used remotely when you send the command without specifying any units
after your value(s).
