queries will be returned in the order in which they were sent. The client himself
determines from which request a specific answer has been received.
2.7.4 IEEE488.2 Status Reporting System
The HiSLIP protocol fully supports the analyzer's IEEE488.2 Status Reporting
System described in the appendix, while the Socket protocol supports it only
partially. The Socket protocol does not support the following functions:
 The MAV (message available) bit in the Status Byte;
 SRQ (service request) generation - request from the analyzer, implemented
by callback functions in the VISA library;
 Read the Status Byte using the dedicated function – viReadSTB.
2.7.5 Transfer of Binary Data
By default, data from the analyzer is sent in text form. To increase the speed of
the exchange, the user has the option to enable binary data transfer. The transfer
of binary data is enabled by the FORMat:DATA command and is effective for
commands that transfer large data ammounts. A list of such commands is given in
the description of the FORMat:DATA command.
The HiSLIP protocol supports the transfer of binary data, since it provides the
protocol defined end of message (not symbolic).
The Socket protocol does not support the transfer of binary data, since it use the
<newline> byte as the end of the message, which can occur in binary data.
