Conventions satisfied with all three options occurs when data is being returned in one of the parameters. In this case, a variable must be used; the parameter description states this restriction. Integers and Real Values In eV+ integers and real values are not different data types. Real values satisfy parameters requiring integers by rounding the real value. Where real values are required, an integer is considered a special case of a real value with no fractional part. Special Notation Numbers shown in other than decimal format are preceded with a carat (^) and the letter H for hexadecimal or B for binary, and with just a carat for Octal. For example, ^HF = ^B1111 = ^17 = 15.
