:BORDer command
:BORDer <name>
:FORMat:BORDer <name> Specify binary byte order
Parameters <name> = NORMal Normal byte order for binary formats
SWAPped Reverse byte order for binary formats
Query :BORDer? Query byte order
Description This command is used to control the byte order for the IEEE754 binary for-
mats. For normal byte order, the data format for each element is sent as fol-
lows:
Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 (Single precision)
Byte 1 Byte 2 ... Byte 8 (Double precision
For reverse byte order, the data format for each element is sent as follows:
Byte 4 Byte 3 Byte 2 Byte 1 (Single precision)
Byte 8 Byte 7 ... Byte 1 (Double precision)
The “#0” header is not affected by this command. The header is always sent
at the beginning of the data string for each measurement conversion.
The ASCII data format can only be sent in the normal byte order. The
SWAPped selection is simply ignored when the ASCII format is selected.
