Difference between ASCII data commands Get Result, Get Value, and Get Decision

Question

What is the difference between the ASCII data commands Get Result, Get Value, and Get Decision?

Answer

Below are 3 examples of the Get Decision and Get Value commands:

Let's say the Custom formatted string is (%time, %value[0], %decision[0]).

Command: Decision (no arguments specified) 

Response: OK, 33244776916, 45636, 1

<success>,<time>,<measurement>,<decision>

You receive exactly what is stipulated in the custom string.

Command: Decision, 0, 1, , , n

Response: OK, x0, x1, x, , , xn

where x[i] can be 0 (fail) or 1 (pass)

Let's say we ask for decision of measurement ID 878 which is non-existent.

Command: Decision, 878

Response: ERROR, Specified measurement ID not found. Please verify your input

Same applies to Get Value except the command is Value instead Decision and response contains measurement values rather than decision. Pretty straight forward.

Get Result example

Let's say Custom formatted string is (%time, %value[0], %decision[0])

Command: Result (no arguments specified) 

Response: OK, 33244776916, 345346, 0

<success>,<time>,<measurement>,<decision>

Command: Result, 0, 4 (I want complete results of measurement tools ID 0 and ID 4) 

Response: OK,M0x02,00,V45900,D0,M0x06,04,V-7222,D1

<success>,<measurement type>,<measurement ID>,<value>,<decision>,<measurement type>,<measurement ID>,<value>,<decision>

* measurement types are enumerated in User Manual 3.5.2.123 page 280

Command: Result, 876 (non existent measurement ID) 

Response: ERROR,Specified measurement ID not found. Please verify your input
