Data Processing Chain
Common Output Commands
Common Output Commands
All the data-output commands are designed to insure that the data transmitted reflects
the current state of the instrument:
• OUTPDATA, OUTPRAW, OUTPFORM, OUTPDATF, OUTPRAF and OUTPFORF will not transmit
data until all formatting functions have completed.
• OUTPPRE transmits data in conjunction with Take4 mode and the SWPSTART command.
Refer to “Example 2G: Take4 — Error Correction Processed on an External PC” on
page 7-48.
• OUTPLIML, OUTPLIMM, and OUTPLIMF will not transmit data until the limit test has
occurred (if activated).
• OUTPMARK will activate a marker if a marker is not already selected. It will also insure
that any current marker searches have been completed before transmitting data.
• OUTPMSTA ensures that the statistics have been calculated for the current trace before
transmitting data. If the statistics are not activated, it will activate the statistics long
enough to update the current values before deactivating the statistics.
• OUTPMWID ensures that a bandwidth search has been executed for the current trace
before transmitting data. If the bandwidth-search function is not activated, it will
activate the bandwidth-search function long enough to update the current values before
switching off the bandwidth-search functions.
