FORMat Subsystem 6
N1911A/1912A P-Series Power Meters Programming Guide 253
FORMat[:READings][:DATA] <character_data>
This command sets the data format for transferring numeric information
to either ASCii or REAL:
• When the format type is ASCii, numeric data is output as ASCII bytes
in the <NR3> format.
• When the format type is REAL, numeric data is output as IEEE 754
64 bit floating point numbers in a definite length block. The result is
an 8 byte block per number. Each complete block is terminated by a
line feed character.
For the N1912A power meter the same FORMat is used on both channels.
