See table 6-1 to determine the number of values (display points) with variable resolution. The
CALC:DATA:HEAD:POIN? query returns the number of values along the specified display’s X-axis.
Refer to the CALC:X:DATA? query for information on retrieving X-axis values.
This query has no command form. Therefore, you cannot return trace data to the display with
CALC:DATA. To send data that has not been transformed, use the TRAC:DATA command. See the
introduction to this chapter for more information about the differences between these commands.
For more information about transferring block data, see Appendix F, “Example Programs,” or the GPIB
Programmer’s Guide.
