Numeric Variables
If
you do not need to
see
the headers when
a
numeric value
is
returned
from the
instrument, then you can
use a
numeric variable. When you
are
receiving
numeric data into
a
numeric variable, turn
the headers off.
Note
When you
are receiving
numeric data into numeric variables, the
headers should be turned off.
Otherwise the headers
may

returned data.

numeric
