Meas Off (Spectrum Analyzer) Measurement
Mode
Byte Order (Remote Command Only)
This command selects the binary data byte order for data transfer. It controls whether 
binary data is transferred in normal or swapped mode. This command affects only the byte 
order for setting and querying trace data for the :TRACe[:DATA] and query 
:TRACe[:DATA]? commands.
Normal mode is when the byte sequence begins with the most significant byte (MSB) first, 
and ends with the least significant byte (LSB) last in the sequence: 1|2|3|4. Swapped 
mode is when the byte sequence begins with the LSB first, and ends with the MSB last in 
the sequence: 4|3|2|1.
View/Display (Spectrum Analyzer Mode)
Displays keys to set the display to spectrogram views (spectrum analyzer mode only), or to 
select which measurement values to display with the current measurement mode. 
Example FORM:DATA ASCii
With 4 points looks like: 
–5.87350E+01, –5.89110E+01, –5.87205E+01, 
–5.12345E+01<NL><END>
FORM:DATA INT,32
With 4 bytes per point looks like: 
#216<16 bytes of data><NL><END>
Where the 2 in the #216 means “2 digits of numeric data to follow”, 
and the 16 is the 2 digits and means “16 binary bytes to follow” (this 
is the definite length block format).
Preset ASCii
Remote Command :FORMat:BORDer NORMal|SWAPped
:FORMat:BORDer?
Example FORM:BORD SWAP
Preset NORMal
Dependencies / Couplings: The features available under the View/Display key vary 
depending on the current Mode selected, and on the current 
Measurement.
