Communication using the ASCII protocol presents oscillography data as directly readable ASCII characters.
Oscillography data may contain 12 to 72 power cycles of data. Each power cycle contains 64 samples of data.
The data structure of a sample is as shown in Table 12–2: OSCILLOGRAPHY DATA STRUCTURE. Each sam-
ple appears on a separate line.
