Suffixes

A numeric value can have suffixes attached to it, if the command allows it. Suffixes can either be SI units, Unit prefixes or both.

SI units

A valid SI unit suffix is ignored when parsing the numeric value. A non valid SI unit suffix generates an error (-120, Numeric data error). So the numeric data value can be suffixed with the expected SI unit to ensure the right value is set.

The allowed SI Unit suffixes are:

Suffix	used for
Hz - Hertz	Frequencies
Ohm - Ohm	Resistance
s - Seconds	Time
V - Volt	Voltages

Unit prefixes

The following unit prefixes are accepted:

Prefix	Name	Value
EX	Exa	1E+18
PE	Peta	1E+15
T	Tera	1E+12
G	Giga	1E+09
MA	Mega	1E+06
k	Kilo	1E+03
m	Milli	1E-03
u	Micro	1E-06
n	Nano	1E-09
p	Pico	1E-12
f	Femto	1E-15
a	Atto	1E-18

Note

Other devices may handle M differently where for example M in combination with Hz or Ohm is interpreted as Mega (1E+06) instead of Milli (1E-03). We on our side do not use such automatism.
