Byte order
When you opt to perform binary transfer, you can configure the instrument
to transfer the bytes of the data in one of the following two byte orders:
NORMal
Transfer begins with the byte that contains the MSB (Most Significant Bit);
that is, the leftmost byte in 64 bit floating point format and 32 bit floating
point data.
SWAPped
Transfer begins with the byte that contains the LSB (Least Significant Bit);
that is, the rightmost byte in 64 bit floating point format and 32 bit floating
point data.
To set the byte order, use the following command:
:FORM:BORD
• Executing the :SYST:PRES or *RST does not affect the current
setting of the byte order.
