4.10.1 Query Trace Data (Remote Command Only)
This query returns the current values of the designated trace amplitude values. The data
is terminated with <NL><END>. (For GPIB this is newline, or linefeed, followed by EOI
set true. For RS-232 this is newline only.)
The number of trace points returned is set by [:SENSE]:SWE:POIN (from 101 to 8192).
Factory Preset: Real,32 for Spectrum Analysis mode
History: Added with firmware revision A.02.00
Remote Command:
:TRACe[:DATA]? <trace_name>
<trace_name> is TRACE1|TRACE2|TRACE3
Remote Command Notes: The FORMat:DATA command describes the different types of
data formats that can be used with trace data. See “Format Numeric Data
(Remote Command Only)” on page 141.
Use the FORMat:BORDer command to set the byte order. See “Set Data Byte
Order (Remote Command Only)” on page 141.
Commands :MMEM:STOR:TRAC and :MMEM:LOAD:TRAC are used to transfer
trace data to/from the internal hard drive or floppy drive of the
instrument. See “Save Now” on page 121 and “Load Now” on page 128.)
Example: TRAC? TRACE2 queries the analyzer for the contents of trace 2.
